Overall record of 38-3

3 Different QB's

Also during the three year span we signed the following kids at QB mainly because of Kiffin our talent at QB has gone way up.
5* Blake Barnett
4* Jalen Hurts
5* Tua (I know he signed for Saban, but the whole reason we had a chance is Kiffin)

From 2011-2014 we signed these guys at QB.
3* Alec Morris- North Texas
3* Parker McLeod- Who knows
3* Luke Del Rio- Florida
4* Cooper Bateman- Utah state soon
4* David Cornwell- Nebraska soon

Also under Kiffin the following players were named all Americans, the list will grow as players he recruited will soon be named AA
LT- Cam Robinson
LG- Arie Koundjio
C- Ryan Kelly
TE- OJ Howard
WR- Amari Cooper
RB- Derrick Henry

As well as winning the following accolades

Outland Trophy- Cam Robinson 2016
Rimington Trophy- Ryan Kelly 2016
Bilekntoff Award- Amari Cooper 2014
Maxwell Award- Derrick Henry 2015
Walter Camp Award- Derrick Henry 2015
Doak Walker Award- Derrick Henry 2015
Joe Moore Award- Alabama 2015
Heisman Trophy- Derrick Henry 2015 (Cooper was a finalist in 2014)

We all know without Kiffin we would have taken some steps back.
In 2014 we lose to Ole Miss, Arkansas, LSU, Missippi State, and Auburn without Kiffin that year. As our defense was not as good as years past.
In 2015 we probably lose in the title game, seriously.
In 2016 we probably lose to OM, and who knows what happens after that.

Just some facts for the Kiffin haters. RTR
