Lane Kiffin calling plays on the field | Bama Blog - Alabama Football

I find this interesting...I know all our offensive coordinators have been up in the press box since Saban has been here so I like the change up they're making this year. I think Saban is right in that having your coordinator on the field can have a greater impact. Hopefully it pays off!

I had been wondering how they were gonna do it. I had just assumed that Kiffin would be in the box, but I do like the idea of him being on the sideline. If Saban thinks it'll be better for the team I'm all for it.

hmmmmm, I'm not sold. Seems like you can see way more about the defense from up in the box. How are you going to be able to see your WR is beating that go on the far side of the field etc?

He'll just have to put Cooper on the far side every time so he won't have to wonder, he'll just know.

Must still have beeswax between your ears...it's called a "headphone for communication reasons", but don't let let block your line of sight.

Except against Tennessee, he should just take that day off.

This is simply because of our QB situation guys. Kiffin prefers to be in the box, but he can be more effective being down there, one on one with our inexperienced QB's for right now.
