Two days after Paul Finebaum talked about Nick Saban’s legacy being at risk, Lane Kiffin stood up for his former Alabama Football boss. Kiffin challenged the Finebaum nonsense directly, stating Saban is the best coach in CFB history.
What happened Thursday was another of the many times Kiffin has praised Nick Saban.
I’m extremely grateful to Coach Saban and our time together and most importantly for him giving me an opportunity to learn from him, and I mean he’s the best to ever do it.
Kiffin also sardonically thanked Finebaum for drawing Saban’s ire and making the job of every other SEC coach more difficult.
