re: Lane Kiffin possible move

If not for a few usually pretty accurate insiders, I would not think the move to LSU would happen either but I do think the odds are very high he leaves Bama this season. I don't think he or Nick ever thought he would be here for very long.

I think he will leave for a HC job. Absolutely. But going to LSU makes ZERO sense for him and ZERO sense for Alabama.

There is no LOGICAL explanation for this.

To answer this question I'm being told Saban did not give Lane a choice in the matter.

As of right now I am still hearing Lane is gone and it could be as early as Sunday. Until one of my good sources breaks from that I won't be changing my mind. These guys are usually pretty spot on. Teddy has some good sources as well and we even share some of the same. Usually when a few of us are hearing something like this it will likely happen. Someone grabbed it off another site but Sark, Kiffin, and Saban had a meeting yesterday that lasted for a good bit. Most people understand Sark isn't just here to be an analyst. Also thought I'd add, nothing is saying lane has to leave by Sunday. He may stay until after the season which, made more sense to me. Just thought I'd throw that out.

Makes no sense to think Kiffin would leave before the end of the season; it would undo all the good work he has done to rehabillitate himself in college football. If he leaves Alabama under less than cordial circumstances it would not be a positive on his resume. Might set back his head coach ambitions by a few years. Sark or no Sark I think Kiffin finishes the season with us and For our National Championship aspirations I hope he stays.

I'm inclined to think this is mostly an overreaction and BS rumors.

We all knew he'd almost certainly be gone after this season. I don't see why Saban would tell him now that he's out, and I don't see why Kiffin would jump to LSU before the head coaching carousel really even gets started.

Although, with dumbass, hothead Lane, I suppose it's possible.

True.

I guess I just have a hard time of seeing one or both of them saying they couldn't make it work any longer.

This is a strange situation that I hopes works out for us in the end.

Kiffin taking another HC job may be the worst situation for Alabama. If he is OC at LSU Sark likely stays at Bama. If Lane goes to Houston or Oregon, Sark and worse Tosh Lupoi may go with him. That would be terrible.

Sark going to be OC for Kiffin would be career suicide.

The need to manage personal issues is huge by itself but that's not the only problem. Who's going to get the credit for a successful offense at a program with LK as head coach? Hint - it ain't going to be the guy calling the plays.
