Man, that is so true. That TE pass that Blake held onto too long that was intercepted was the momentum shift. Absolutely failed by not using Henry in that situation being on the other side of the 50 already and was averaging like 9 yards a carry. But, you could see he learned from his mistakes in the championship game this year and throughout the season. Who would have thought it would take Alabama's offense (along with some stellar special teams plays) to win that game?
And the comment about overwhelming talent, Kiffen did his best work with two different quarterbacks (Blake and Coker) both being of average talent...that speaks volumes. Being a head coach in the NFL is vastly different than college, however, I don't see much of a difference for the OC and DC roles. Look, I'm not a fan at all of Kiffen's persona (I'm a Gator fan) but I respect the man for knowing so much about running an offense.
