The Alabama football defense will face more than offensive wizardry concocted by Lane Kiffin. Lane also has dangerous weapons on his offensive roster. How well the Crimson Tide defense does against those scoring threats will be telling.
Lane Kiffin learned football from more than his father, Monte Kiffin. His dad was a top defensive coach for decades. Probably more impactful for Kiffin was his time working for Pete Carroll and Norm Chow at USC. Steve Sarkisian was also on those USC staffs and had more experience and responsibility than Kiffin. There is no doubt Kiffin kept learning in 2007 as the NFL’s youngest head coach at 31 years of age.
