Kiffin already making a positive impact on recruiting

[potzer25]

Lane Kiffin's first call as OC: 5-star Alabama quarterback commit Ricky Town | AL.com

Just saw where he has decommitted....

Kind of confused...a positive impact is sarcastic right?

Where will this kid end up, after Lane's positive impact?

 

[bamabear82]

More about Nuss leaving than anything. Wasn't that shocked when I heard, he really seemed to like ol Nussy.

Where you think he lands?

Where you think he lands?

Haven't bothered to look at who else he's considering. Wouldn't surprise me to see him looking at Meatchicken since Nuss went there.

Shit, was afraid you say that...even though we don't play them past next year, still want to see Morris fall on his face.

It's Lane Kiffin. It's gonna end up bad and everyone knows it including Bama fans. Just deal with it and hope it doesn't cripple your program.

Meh, really not worried in the least. If he fucks around he'll be gone but it's getting about that time in his career to prove he's worth something or this could be the end for him, imo of course.

Where you think he lands?

According to the article, he de-committed after he and his parents paid an unofficial visit to USC. He's a SoCal kid, so maybe he decides to stay home?

Yeah, pretty much...was really surprised Saban went this direction.

If I was a 'Bama fan, would not be happy with this hire...but we'll see. I wish he could have been at USC for the rest of his life.

With that combined with Nuss leaving, it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Well FUDGE...that is worse than going to SCum. HMMMM...

Be a nice pick up for Sark though. Guy can recruit, I'll give him that.

Yeah, I seriously doubt that Kiffin had anything to do with him de-committing. Sark runs essentially the same offense as Kiffin (which is the offense USC ran when they were OC's here).

It is basically a more advanced, faster paced version of what Alabama has been running the entire time Saban has been there.

Assuming he does land at USC, he can run the same offense that he'd be running at Alabama, only where his family and friends can attend the games.

If he was in charge I'd be a little more worried. I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he doesn't prove me wrong.

Yup, it would make a lot of sense for him to end up there. I wouldn't blame him in the least if that's the route he decides to take.

Hopefully Urban can steal some of these Kiffin recruits.

Not worried because Saban is in charge. His biggest problem is usually making an ass of himself with the media, something he will never have a chance to do because Saban doesn't allow them to speak to the media except 1 time a year.

I have a feeling Kiffin is here to learn and will keep his nose down while he is here. And if he does cause problems, Saban will have no trouble showing him the way outta town.

If he will buy into the "process", keep his nose clean from a personal standpoint and develop the work ethic that Saban demands he will be fine. I do think what will make or break him is that he is used to calling the shots, not answering to anyone and lets face it Pete Carroll is not Nick Saban when it comes to being demanding so that comes into play. If he can work his ass off and not need a lot of "positive reinforcement" to boast his ego he will be fine. However God help him if he doesn't want to work hard.

Well they just lost another QB.......not necessarily because of Kiffin, but another QB decommit.....
