| FTBL What national writers are saying about Alabama's hiring of Lane Kiffin (links)

[BAMANEWSBOT]

We weren't the only ones providing wall-to-wall coverage of Alabama's hiring of Lane Kiffin as the program's new offensive coordinator. This was truly a national story.

Here's what some of those folks are saying about the high-profile hire. (As a bonus, we've thrown in a few Doug Nussmeier links, too).

Colin Cowturd actually had a lot of good things to say about the hire yesterday.

Good find alum...'preciate it.

CC mentioned he (LK) hadn't missed on a recruit in the last two years? That's impressive.

Yeah, I heard that live and it helped my feelings.

I DID not expect that from CC. He was very high on this hire. Go figure.

Even Jonathan Crompton has said (to Alabama fans) "You're going to love him." I feel better about Alabama's 2014 offense already.
