Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin took to Twitter to defend Nick Saban for hiring Tommy Rees and Kevin Steele to be his new offensive and defensive coordinators.
The 🐐 just signed the #1 Recruiting class with no coordinators!! Relax @AlabamaFTBL https://t.co/vO9MvQCYr2

Kiffin pointed out at one point Alabama had no coordinators, and still finished No. 1 in recruiting for the 2023 class. Both Steele and Kiffin served under Saban together in 2014 when Steele was the linebackers coach and Kiffin was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
This is not the first time Kiffin has stuck up for his former mentor Nick Saban. When Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher spoke ill of Saban, Kiffin came to his aid.
Alabama football fans may have mixed feelings about Kiffin and his antics, but one has to appreciate the respect he has for Saban.
