- Do you have a blog in the Huntsville area, or a business you’d like to promote to the Huntsville blogging community? Then you need to be at our event Downtown with the RCB: An Evening with the Rocket City Bloggers a week from tonight! RSVP here!
- Dear Coach Saban: Please do not hire Little Laney Kiffin for offensive coordinator.
- Today is the boys’ first full day back to school this week, and only the second one since December 19. It’s been an odd start to the year indeed.
- It’s taken me just over a week to nearly completely drain a 12.5-oz. bottle of Ring of Fire XX-Hot Habanero hot sauce. May need to keep stock on this for a while.
- Somehow I got off in the weeds reading an advice column at Salon.com a few days ago. I left thinking I must have the healthiest marriage in the world.
- I think I’d enjoy staying in an ice hotel someday. I think I’ll have to go by myself, though.
- Does it seem to you that prices on Amazon.com are fluctuating even more than usual? I’ve encountered several things recently that changed more than once in the same week. It’s irritating when it’s something I was thinking about purchasing and it goes up.

The Kiffin thing is strange. Maybe he’s a great offensive mind – I don’t really know. But I do know that any time he has an audience, he comes across as a complete d-bag. I guess the good thing, though, is that the coaches on Saban’s staff aren’t allowed to talk to the media, thus limiting the opportunities for Kiffin to make an idiot of himself.
I certainly find him very offensive. Heh.
You have a good point, though. If we never had to hear from him and he delivered, then awesome.
My question about the Ring of Fire is, does it cause the ring of fire? Considering how much hot sauce you consume it’s possible there is actual nerve damage, rendering that unlikely. 😉
Cheryl, it is absolutely amazing how unpredictable that is. I’ve eaten sauces in the vicinity of 1,000,000 Scoville heat units without a problem. I chewed up and swallowed a red savina habanero without a problem. That’s usually how it goes.
And then some stupid canned jalapenos or something will make me 20 minutes late for work. Frostbite wasn’t pleasant either.
The Tennessee contingent of the household is laughing his backside off about the hiring of wee Mr. Kiffin. And wonders if his daddy’s going to get towed along this time, too. Hizzoner is interested in your opinion.
Kelly, yeah, the jokes write themselves.
I don’t think much of his head coaching experience, and he’s a smartass. But, offensive coordinator is not head coach, and he was actually a pretty good one of the former. And Coach Saban’s assistants are not generally permitted to talk to the press. That will make him easier to like, I think.
This is Saban’s fourth offensive coordinator. He’ll never keep one any longer than two or three years, and I expect Kiffin to be the same. I think it’s probably a good hire if he’s got the right attitude. We shall see.
“…if he’s got the right attitude.”
Ah, there’s the rub.
We shall, indeed, see. I don’t see it so much as a running-off-at-the-mouth thing with Kiffie (not that this hasn’t been an issue in the past). I simply don’t believe he’s anywhere near as good at this football thing as he thinks he is. Odd that Mr. Saban doesn’t seem to see the past as an indicator of future performance. He may have had the offensive coordinator chops in the past, but he’s also had a good span of “I’m in charge here” in the meanwhile.
