Lane Kiffin with a not-so-subtle clue as to whether he’s leaving Alabama

Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin is a hot commodity this offseason.
He’ll interview with Houston next week and has also been linked to LSU as the offensive coordinator for Ed Orgeron.
But, after Alabama demolished Florida in Saturday’s SEC Championship Game, Kiffin said he’s in no hurry to leave Tuscaloosa:
Lane Kiffin on if he'll be back for the CFP: "Yeah, I hope so. If they'll let me."

Of course, that statement doesn’t mean he’ll be with the Crimson Tide in 2017. It just seems as if Kiffin wants to stick around for a shot at a second-straight national championship. The Tide have at least one more game remaining, possibly two if they remain undefeated and advance to the College Football Playoff finals.
When asked about the future of his offensive coordinator, head coach Nick Saban was noncommittal regarding the status of Kiffin moving forward:
Saban on Lane coaching through the CFP: "It depends on circumstance and situation."

Fans in Houston and Baton Rouge will seemingly have to wait and see if and when Kiffin decides to leave Tuscaloosa.
