Nick Saban Says Lane Kiffin’s Decision Comes Down To One Thing

During ESPN's College GameDay on Saturday, Nick Saban spoke about Lane Kiffin's upcoming decision. Per On3:

“I think Lane’s decision is going to come down to one thing: where is the place that I can recruit the best players? And I think one of Lane’s apprehensions is that he’s had to use the portal to build his team at Ole Miss each year,” Saban said. “At LSU, he probably could recruit better talent and then just supplement his team by need with the portal.

“That’s probably the dilemma that he has, as well as his loyalty to his team that he’s coaching now that he wants to be able to continue to coach. So it’s a tough thing to have the right answer to.”

Saban also said Ole Miss should allow Kiffin to coach through the playoffs if he leaves LSU, as did Kirk Herbstreit.
