"Yes. Definitely," Kiffin said in December, when asked if he would return to the Crimson Tide. "I think that we've still got a lot of stuff we can do better. We'll obviously be working with a new quarterback, and that will be exciting. We've done that before. To me, that's always exciting, the unknown. You've got a new quarterback to see if we can do this again, to see if we can perform really well."
This was Kiffin's first season as an assistant to coach Nick Saban. Kiffin is the former head coach of the
Oakland Raiders, Tennessee and USC.
