Re: Kiffin's future...

This takes the discussion to a whole new level.

And it is not upward to a higher level!!! LOL...hello Tiger Woods.

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.

Could it be that a galaxy 60 million light years away is really LK having an identity crisis? I know -- but its mid Monday, cold and raining -- and I cannot go hit golf balls.

Looks like a done deal.

I hope so.

It was Brett McMurphy and Chris Low who reported first.

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?

The two best quotes I can think of at the moment:

There is a God in heaven!

How far the mighty have fallen...

Re: Kiffin's future...

Also, Chris Low reporting Lane will stay on through the playoffs.

Re: Any word on Kiffin's interview with UH?

AL.com just posted that FAU has hired Lane Kiffin.

Re: Kiffin's future...

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.
