Re: Kiffin's future...

With CNS saying he wanted kiffin to get a head coach job should have been the tipping point to all of this. I never have been a fan of the man. I appreciate what he has done for Bama football. I think he has 2 more games in Crimson and then he is gone. I hope he gets his issues resolved but not at our expense.

Re: Kiffin's future...

LSU board already in meltdown - they've lost two QB commits while waiting for their OC, who is now going to coach at FAU, and now they have to compete with Bama for an OC...

Re: Kiffin's future...

You mean Lane isn't sticking around until next season or until Saban retires like some were convinced?

Good hire (I hope) by FAU. Glad he got a head coach job, as I've always like Lane (off field things not withstanding). I hope he can make the necessary changes to be successful.

That being said, glad he isn't our problem...just in case.

Now if we just send Sark to the Betty Ford Clinic for the holidays, we should be set.

Re: Kiffin's future...

That seems to be about the perfect landing spot. He's not going to be able to take any key players/recruits with him, and he's not likely to get in Saban's way. Also, due to the level of the job the pressure to hit the ground running won't be so strong. I think all parties would be fine with him coaching in the playoffs, it's more exposure for Kiffin.

Re: Kiffin's future...

Interesting landing spot. FAU has had just 3 winning seasons since moving up to D-1A in 2004. We are going to find out for sure if CLK is head coach material. He's got his work cut out for him that's for sure.
