Lane Kiffin has earned benefit of doubt in picking next Tide QB

It has been two years.

It’s time to put aside all of those old Lane Kiffin descriptors: loud, cocky, underachiever, etc. Like all gossip — and that’s all it ever was during his stops as a head coach — we need to give it a rest.

Now that the old narrative is over, it’s time for a new one. So meet the new Lane Kiffin: quarterback whisperer.

He’s the reason Alabama is projected to be a playoff team next season despite searching for their third starting QB in three years. He’s the reason Alabama fans are so calm when it comes to replacing running back Derrick Henry.
