quote:Saban dropped Lain for Sark - Lain wasn't fully committed to his OC job anymore - but wanted to keep it while crootin for FAU - Saban said nope - get gone -
Talty’s book makes clear, however, that Kiffin was not fired because of an affair, and the rumors were never verified.
Instead, the book portrays Kiffin’s eventual split with Alabama as the culmination of broader tensions, both on and off the field.
the pattern behavior will repeat once Lain wants to keep coaching LSU in the Birmingham Bowl after being hired to coach the NY Jets -
there's no way Saban would've endorsed Lain for the Alabama job - not in the past - not in the future -

How is Coach Harbaugh doing these days?
He’s one of the highest paid NFL head coaches currently… 16M per year. Not too shabby.

The story in the OP could certainly be true, but Finebaum saying it means this is as worthless as some drunk in a bar saying saying it.
ETA: 7 pages for this? Crazy.

If Bama job was to become available after this season and Kiffin was offered the job, he couldnt leave LSU fast enough.
LSU does not have the name brand that Bama has, nor the tradition of being an elite football program. Lane want a statue at Bama with the other legends.
