Alabama in familiar spot with Atlanta trip, Kiffin leaving
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama is in familiar territory and not just because of a quick return trip to Atlanta.
For the third time in six seasons the top-ranked Crimson Tide head into the playoffs — or previously into the BCS national championship game — with a coordinator preparing to leave for a head coaching job. This time, offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin is leaving to take over at Florida Atlantic after ‘Bama’s season ends.
