Lane Kiffin and Nick Saban didn't see eye to eye at Alabama
Kiffin previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Crimson Tide. For three seasons in a row, Kiffin helped Nick Saban qualify for the College Football Playoff and a national championship in 2015.
However, the partnership took an unexpected turn a week before the 2017 CFP National Championship Game against Clemson.
The abrupt separation stemmed from concerns about Kiffin's commitment, with Saban questioning his focus on building a coaching staff at Florida Atlantic.
Tensions escalated due to Kiffin's apparent late arrival at staff meetings and distractions caused by coaching staff interviews. Saban perceived that disruptions outweighed Kiffin's contributions, which led to them going their separate ways.
