Saban Says Kiffin Return to Rocky Top Should Not be a Distraction
The big story with the Alabama-Tennessee game on Saturday is the return of former Vols head coach Lane Kiffin, who is now the offensive coordinator with the Crimson Tide.
At SEC media days, Bama coach Nick Saban joked that Kiffin will survive his return to Rocky Top…and then Saban added, at least I hope he does.
With the game now around the corner, Saban is trying to down-play Kiffin’s homecoming.
"Sort of use the analogy that when I was at Michigan State. We always had these things that were going to happen when we went and played at Notre Dame. The Gipper was coming back and speaking to the team. All these things were going to happen. What I used to always tell the team is that it really doesn’t mean anything unless it means something to you."
