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."
— Barrett Sallee (@BarrettSallee) December 4, 2016
Fans in Houston and Baton Rouge will seemingly have to wait and see if and when Kiffin decides to leave Tuscaloosa.
Its seems fairly clear that both Saban and Kiffin want Kiffin at Bama through the playoff. That makes more sense than some of the earlier reports. I would think, based on what has been reported, that Kiffin will be at Bama through the playoff if he get a HC position. If he ends up the OC at LSU, it will be Saban’s call.
Saban does not want him…my God you are stupid. How many times has Saban adjusted the offensive plan of attack at halftime. Every damn game. Kiffin’s ego gets in the way of an effective offensive strategy. Why should Kiffin run the ball? Running the ball in such a mundane way does not reflect on the genius that is Lane Kiffin. Elaborate passing options that confuse the brightest defensive minds showcase Lane’s “skills” as a playcaller much more. This is why Nick does NOT want him…even for the CFP. Good luck with his ego getting in the way of your talented running backs. Roll Tide.
It is comical to read all these comments from those that did not play “big-time” football. What is reported as “news” rarely aligns with that in the locker room. Many times, the situation is the exact opposite. Roll Tide.
And you “know” the situation is the exact opposite because you played “big time” football, right???
Alabama is “big time” football…Roll Tide.
UA football…why the hell would I say that otherwise, dude?
I went to UA, family went to UA, granddad is one of the most decorated Bama players of all-time, other granddad starred at Auburn, uncle was a running back at UGA, cousin played for the Tide, roommate played for Bama before getting kicked off and transferring to Miss State and blocking a punt against AU lol, brother is at Troy…so, yeah, it is comical to me.
Roll Tide.
Guess you were the disappointment of the family The Empire…
similar to Florida in Atlanta…yep
It seems like your the only one comical here….get a hobby or something…your not gonna just run the ball and beat playoff teams, some of these lazy bama fans are stupid…your gonna have to throw the ball at different times and be effective while doing it and Kiffen is trying to get a 16 year old to make proper reads and he is still struggling to read the defense….that’s right 16 year old because he can’t be 18
Graduate from high school, stop living off government handouts and then speak.
Damn…look at your grammar. America is in trouble lol.
I played for 3 different offensive coordinators in college…I think I understand the reads, schemes, and flow of calling an offense. But, you probably know more…
Roll Tide.
Says the guy with no sense of simple grammar…..go sit down somewhere
We’ve got a jackass on here worrying about people’s grammar….this is football you idiot…I’m not here to make sure every character is punctual…you know what I’m talking about from living here in Babylon all your miserable life….stick to the script..bama is not going to win the Natty by just running the football , get over yourself and calm down…you have no idea what Saban is going to do Coach Kiffen….another wanna be elitist jackass
Don’t be an angry elf…
Babylon? Wow…
What is an “elitist jackass”? LOL
My comments towards you more closely resemble a douche than a jackass…just try to use SOME correct grammar. Please….
Roll Tide, dude.
As I said …an elitist jackass….we all know you have no athleticism….on here for your proof reading skills….you have to be an Edomite…..it’s only obvious, …full of yourself, ..fake ass people…you don’t know Lane Kiffen it coach Saban….you only know what we know
That was a flagrant foul insulting my athleticism :( my feelings are hurt, dude.
I understand nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, possess the skills to identify coding sequences residing in DNA/RNA of infectious diseases, the use of nutrient partitioning and extreme periods of fasting as it relates to creating the perfect body with maximized athletic performance, and I know my ABC’s thanks to Sesame Street. I know more than you, dude.
Time to return to living a real life here on planet Earth…sorry for being a bully :(
Roll Tide.
dude, how about form a complete thought before commenting so i dont have to scroll through 1000 one sentence replies. jackass
thanks, dude
You are right…I give a sh!t about you
You are a waste of resources, taking up oxygen and space. Your life is worthless. You do not matter. When all that remains is your dust, no one will ever remember the insignificant stretch of time you occupied a slot of our population.
Go make some snickerdoodles, watch Twilight, and enjoy your Sunday instead of providing this opportunity for me to burn your g@y @ss.
This is my complete thought. Hope you are happy ;) I am. Roll Tide, dude.
Joey freshwater is in Houston today and will either be the cougars head coach or oc at lsu by the end of the week-
Yep…he gone! Agreed…
