Which goes to show that whatever he said to Saban didn't much matter because he's irrelevant to Saban anyway and Saban's success...
Link: Kiffin tells Saban "We'll get you next year."
- Thread starter Whiz
- Start date
Coach Saban was already contemplating what blitz packages to throw at Jordan Jefferson by the time he met little Kiff at midfield. Kiffin on the other hand is STILL crying in his beer today and mumbling something about refs and magic...
WHAT A SPOILED INSOLENT little whiney brat...
I'd be embarrassed to have that baby as my coach, and am embarrassed to have him in the SEC as well...

I don't think it's that big of a deal, frankly. It wasn't a particularly classy thing to say, but on the classlessness scale, it's pretty far north of the "magic flag" and "meaningless letter from the SEC" comments.
How did a South Carolina blogger state this with such certainty. I am with you, Dog. I watched the the two and it seemed cordial and perfunctory to me.

I don't see that statement unclassy, unprofessional, whiney or acting like a jerk. It's on par with See you next year, Good game, I'll call you next week and We'll get you next time.
I don't get it.
Is he NOT supposed to want to beat us next year?
Think at this point I am going to take me a little 100-day Lane Break, at least up until NSD, when he is sure to entertain again with brand new stuff.

It depends on who wins Saturday's game in Columbia. Neither one of the two coaches is known for keeping his comments to himself. Chances are good that we'll have another week's worth of forum fodder as soon as that clock reads 0:00.
When Warren G. Harding became president in 1920, he said that it was time to return to "normalcy." He thereby inserted a new word into the dictionary.
I don't know if you've noticed this, but since before the Tennessee game this "board" has pretty well been in an uproar, and now that we have a bye-week, we still are in an uproar, grasping at every little thing to talk about.
World War I had had America in an uproar, and the Tennessee "war" seems to have gotten the Bama nation into somewhat the same state. Our frame of mind may continue this way at least until we play LSU. Even then, it may be some time before we "return to normalcy" . . . . especially if we beat Florida. We may be in for two more months of this.

If his other behavior made me think that Lame spoke in that sort of spirit, then I wouldn't think so either; however, his postgame antics and behavior have not made me give him the "benefit of a doubt" and I seriously believe that his words were injected with spite and attitude. Conjecture? perhaps...but I have more reason to believe that due to his actions than due to his words alone...
No, me either. Doesn't sould like smack to me, just a normal comment after losing a game. IMO.
By reading his lips I thought he might have said see you next year. I really don't care what Kiffin says. We won. End of story.
Y'all have got to be kidding me! Let's say for a moment that he did say this. SO WHAT! "Get you next year", "Beat you next year", ... is saying nothing more than we'll be back to fight another day. I don't care whether it came from Kiffin, Spurrier, Nutt, or whoever. It is meaningless coach speak between coaches at mid field. "unsportsman like", "classless", ...
I wonder if even Kiffen is stupid enough to say this. But then, who knows. I remember Fran lighting into Saban after the 31-0 beat down in BR. So who knows.
But they did look friendly on TV at the end of the game, I think this is probably bull.

Regardless, I have to say that after visiting volnation.com for the first time this week, Kiffin is not one of my favorites. I really hope we knock them around next year. The Vol fans seem to really love this guy. You would think they were undefeated. I see a lot of "give us another year of recruiting" type sentiment on their board. I hope we pound them for the next 50 years or at least until I die.
After the game, you couldn't see it on TV, but Kiffen walked over to the Bama sideline and Saban wasn't there, Kiffen just stopped and put his hands on his waist and stared at the empty sideline for a good 5 to 10 seconds just looking like he was pouting. Saban then came up to him kind of from his left and behind for the handshake. But that hands on his hips pouting moment had me laughing and annoyed at him at the same time.
The game is in Knoxville but that doesn't change anything since neither coach is known for hiding their feelings and letting their arse overload their mouth.
