Do you think he wants his own gig again, or does he realize he is better equipped as an offensive coordinator

Opinions on how long Lane Kiffin stay at Bama

I think he'll stay until someone offers him a job. I think after a couple years working under Saban, there will be more and more teams taking a serious look at him. You can't work for the best without learning the right ways to do things.
Now, will he use the knowledge he gains and become a better coach??? Time will tell, but i DO think teams will start taking a look at him!

Ok I will bite. 2 to 3 years. And he would only get there if all goes well and he conducts himself professionally and Nick continues to say good things about him. I am sure this cold front coming through isn't setting well with his wife and he will be needing to head to a warmer climate by then.
My opinion is his ego won't let him take a mid-major or lower tier team. I'm not sure a major college football program would take a "chance" on him. I think his next job will be in the NFL in a couple of years.
He will be here until a PAC 12 HC job opens up. Cal, Wazzou, Colorado, Oregon State are all struggling and could be looking for a new HC after next season.
It wouldn't surprise me at all that he bails after this year. His stock is higher now than it's been in 10 years......
I could see him as an OC/QB Coach in the NFL .....

If he stays OK, but I am looking forward to the day when he is back in the "booth." It is quite annoying to see him battle TV screen time with CNS on the sidelines.
I could definitely see that, too. I think he's great tutoring QBs and calling plays. Maybe one day he'll develop into a really good head coach.
Not a fan of his offense, so hopefully sooner rather than later.

My guess is 2-3 years to rehab his image and hopefully get another HC position. If that doesn't work out, NFL OC is a possibility. I don't think the jobs that would take him this year would be a good idea. Florida and Michigan probably wouldn't bite so soon after losing the USCw job, and Mittippi Tate (I think they'll be in the market) would be a little bit of a stretch right now. The jobs that would offer him would be along the Colorado State line (Coach McElwain may get a few offers after the job he's done lately), and I'm not sure that's a good move for CLK.
Isn't that the truth. Some people just can't be happy. Just wait until he takes one of these young guns and molds him for a few years. Could be scary. Blake has come a long way in a relatively short period of time.
If I was him, I would stay one more year... maybe two. The recruiting class that's coming in next two years... Kiffin is going to want to "rebuild" his resume showing that he can " coach." I would imagine that Saban will teach him how to handle " office stuff" in off season and spring camp... and let him improve. I don't think Coach will let him go to another major job unless he's ready.
