Lane Kiffin Advocates for Nick Saban Amid Coordinator Concerns
OXFORD, Miss. -- Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin is never afraid to come to the defense of his Alabama counterpart, Nick Saban.
Earlier this week, it was announced that the Crimson Tide had officially hired a new offensive and defensive coordinator after both positions were vacated following the 2022 season. Tommy Rees will be taking over as Alabama's OC, and Kevin Steele will assume the duties of DC.
Once the hirings were made official, The Unnecessary Roughness Twitter account posted a Tweet commenting on Alabama's new coordinators.
"Alabama fans dreamed of an offseason of Joe Brady/Kliff Kingsbury and Jeremy Pruitt."
"What they got: Tommy Rees & Kevin Steele."
"Will it work? We’ll see."
While they may not be the coordinators Alabama fans dreamed of, Kiffin quickly jumped at the opportunity to advocate for Saban, assuring fans that there is nothing to worry about.
"The (greatest of all time) just signed the #1 Recruiting class with no coordinators!! Relax @AlabamaFTBL"
Despite not having coordinators for the first chuck of the offseason, Saban still managed to lock up the No. 1 recruitment class of 2023. According to On3Sports, the Tide secured 28 total commits earning a 96.184 recruitment score.
