Nick Saban responded to Lane Kiffin's comments on who was calling Alabama's defense.
“We’ve been against Kevin a number of times. Worked with him at Alabama, then played against him at Auburn and LSU,” Kiffin said. “But it seems like there’s been a change there. I don’t know what happened after the Texas game. But, you know, our guys watching the TV copy schematical in this last game, it certainly seems like T-Rob’s now calling the defense. We played him before at South Carolina, so we’re preparing accordingly, you know, for him calling the defense. He’s done a good job too.
Kiffin has enjoyed playing mind games with Alabama head coach Nick Saban since he left his job as offensive coordinator in Tuscaloosa. Sunday’s comments certainly would qualify. On Monday, ahead of Alabama’s Saturday game against Ole Miss at Bryant-Denny Stadium, Saban mentioned Kiffin’s comments during his opening statement. He emphasized that Steele is in charge.
“Kevin Steele is the defensive coordinator,” Saban said. “He has all the defensive coordinator responsibilities. The only thing that we tried to improve on from an administrative standpoint was gameday administration of getting the signals in quicker. So that’s the only thing that we worked on together as a staff. The whole staff made a contribution to it and I think it was a lot better in this game than it was in the Texas game.
