A new book titled Lane Being Lane by John Talty chronicles the tenure of Lane Kiffin as Alabama offensive coordinator. Within the text, a former Alabama coach recalls a warning provided by Nick Saban to a staffer regarding Kiffin’s off-field behavior during his time with the team. Saban reportedly advised the staffer to keep Kiffin away from college students and sorority members while he was separated from his family. The book addresses rumors regarding Kiffin’s departure, clarifying that he was not fired due to an affair. Instead, it characterizes his exit as a result of wider tensions, including the timing of Kiffin’s move to become the head coach at Florida Atlantic.
