<p style="color:rgb(29,35,38);font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:14.4px;">Saban bristled when he was asked Tuesday if he'd given Kiffin more latitude to open up the Crimson Tide offense than previous coordinators Doug Nussmeier, Jim McElwain and Major Applewhite. 

<p style="color:rgb(29,35,38);font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:14.4px;">"No, no," Saban said. "I've been begging the offensive coordinators around here to open it up ever since I've been here ... My philosophy hasn't changed at all. I've always asked for this. 'Why don't we throw the ball on this look instead of running this play where we can't block everybody?'"
