re: Can anyone please explain - why is Lane Kiffin considered a hot coaching commodity?!?

He’s unquestionably a great offensive coach. Just go back and look what he did with converged RB Blake Sims when he was OC at Alabama.

I think his appeal is his potential. He’s brash, aggressive, and relates to players well. He’s been close in several games against better teams, and sometimes it just takes that one win to get over the hump and gain confidence.

As a Bama fan, can’t say I’m thrilled about him potentially being at Auburn. He will be able to get better players, particularly in defense, than he has been able to at Ole Miss. and he’s done pretty well in recruiting there.
