Lane Kiffin might have given up his petty shots at Nick Saban and Alabama.
The former Crimson Tide offensive coordinator was rushed out of the program at the end of last year before the national title game, which Alabama went on to lose.
The two sides have been taking subtle shots at each other ever since, but that might finally be over. Instead, Kiffin appears to hyping up Tide quarterback Jalen Hurts for the Heisman.
His last four tweets have all been about Hurts and the Heisman.

All feuds must eventually end one way or another, and the fact that Kiffin is now openly campaigning for his former player to win the Heisman is a good sign.
Perhaps things between the two sides are finally cooling down.
