After the game, Saban had this to say about the incident:
MORE: Alabama WR Robert Foster injured in dirt bike accident
We now know a little more about what the two coaches were yelling about, thanks to Phil Savage’s new book, 4th & Goal Every Day: Alabama’s Relentless Pursuit of Perfection.
Neither Saban nor Kiffin said publicly what caused the dustup, which occurred after a careless Alabama fumble led to a Western Kentucky touchdown in garbage time. Savage writes that Kiffin said into his headset “dumb players make dumb plays,” which all the Crimson Tide coaches heard. Saban snapped back with “no, dumb offensive coordinators call dumb plays.” There were probably a few expletives left out.
4th & Goal Everyday will be released on Aug. 29.
