I think the main point people were trying to make was that Lane was not coming back to Alabama no matter what. All the good HC gigs filled up and the LSU OC job was just sitting there open the whole time so that was the speculated landing spot. I don't think many people thought he would take the FAU job over LSU considering the pay cut and perception of that program, but I'm glad he did as opposed to heading to Baton Rouge.

For sure. I know that a lot of UA fans don't like Kiffin, but I do because he's helped us win a lot of games and championships. For that reason, I would like to have seen him get a better job, but oveall, I'm just happy he's not going to LSU. At least, I hope this is ....The Final Answer. It's been a crazy ride.

Which was never anything more than speculation by fans and media people like Finebaum. We'll never know...but how many of those speculating he was leaving even had a clue that Saban was going to hire him when he first visited Tuscaloosa?
