Lane Kiffin knocks Tide demise talk, says ability to 'cherry-pick' transfers makes them 'one of most talented teams ever'

The battle of top-15 teams Alabama and Ole Miss is still a week and a half away, and already Rebs' coach Lane Kiffin has some things to say about his former employer.

Kiffin, who served as offensive coordinator at Alabama under Nick Saban from 2014-16, said on Wednesday that the No. 1 Crimson Tide are having their way with the transfer portal, amassing even more talent than they already do through high school recruiting where they normally rank in the top three signing classes every season.

"Now they go to cherry-pick players for any holes they may have like an Ohio State receiver [Jameson Williams] or a Tennessee linebacker [Henry To'o To'o]," Kiffin said.
