OT: Kiffin to Niners?
ESPN reporting:
Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin is a front-runner for the same position with the San Francisco 49ers, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Presumably, though, Schefter also thinks Oakland is in play.

Said Kiffin's agent to Adam Schefter.
This just in: Alabama has given a huge raise to Lane Kiffin.

The Raidaz are still in play
January 18th, 2015 at 3:43 PM ^
We want him back, daddy is gone....
January 18th, 2015 at 3:56 PM ^
Posting this picture. His little sloth hands grabbing at his giblets really creeps me out.
January 18th, 2015 at 6:01 PM ^
Sorry, can't oblige because that picture and that person coming from the loins of this person....
help explain the sheer dysfunctionality of the Raiders.
January 18th, 2015 at 2:29 PM ^
How does Lane Kiffen keep getting jobs? He has failed everywhere, and his only claim to fame is being one of Monte Kiffen's sperm(who shouldn't have the clout for a lifetime nepotism job for Lane).
January 18th, 2015 at 2:46 PM ^
He had a couple of questionable calls, but what OC doesn't?
Alabama had one of the best year's offensively in its school's history. What are you talking about?
It's not Kiffin's fault the Bama CBs were god awful. They gave up the deep ball like it was NCAA Football '04. Just pick Hail Mary every play.
Bama's offense was quite stale and he made huge strides.
He was awful as a HC and I sure as hell wouldn't want him, but "he's failed everywhere" just isn't true.
January 18th, 2015 at 3:02 PM ^
3 plays needed to go undefeated.
Run: I formation counter left/right.
Pass: I formation play action . . . all slants but audible outside WR to Hail Mary.
Defense: 4-3 over zone blitz Sam LB
January 18th, 2015 at 3:24 PM ^
I have NCAA 05 but that is hilariously true. Won a couple Heismans with Mike Hart with the I formation counter. And Chad Henne was fast enough to run the option with.

No huddle wishbone is the correct NCAA offense.
January 18th, 2015 at 3:10 PM ^
That Bana team could have won the same amount of games with a chimp at OC.
January 18th, 2015 at 3:17 PM ^
They needed all the points they could get to beat Auburn. He had a WR finish #3 for the Heisman.
Bama is Bama, but their secondary was nothing special this year and they needed the offense to bail them out more than a few times.
January 18th, 2015 at 2:48 PM ^
It's pretty obvious he's a really good offensive coordinator. Head coach? Not so much. If he gets a head coaching job again after Oakland, Tennessee, and USC I would just have to ask whoever hires him ''Why?''.
January 18th, 2015 at 2:27 PM ^
And just nit picking here, but should be OT
January 18th, 2015 at 2:27 PM ^
It amazes me that this guy gets opportunity after opportunity; yet what has he accomplished?
January 18th, 2015 at 2:37 PM ^
Maybe his wife accompanies him to the interviews? That couldn't hurt.
January 18th, 2015 at 2:45 PM ^
Funny you should make that remark!
January 18th, 2015 at 2:52 PM ^
You would'nt understand. It's above you and the 10 people that live in your state.
January 18th, 2015 at 3:07 PM ^
I typically hate grammar Nazis but I just had to . . . .
You wouldn't want to use "would'nt" when questioning someone's intelligence.
January 18th, 2015 at 5:15 PM ^
As an OC he won a championship... (granted it was later forfeited... but USC still won those games...)
January 18th, 2015 at 2:27 PM ^
...is somewhat inexplicable to me.
He doesn't appear to have demonstrably succeeded anywhere. He doesn't stay in a spot for more than 4.5 seconds. And yet, he is continually up for new positions that are better than the last. And at one stop, the team literally mutinied against the man.
January 18th, 2015 at 3:43 PM ^
Hot wife... only plausible explanation
January 18th, 2015 at 2:30 PM ^
Heeeeeelarious
January 18th, 2015 at 2:31 PM ^
This guy is never going to be at one place long enough to accumulate a 401k
January 18th, 2015 at 5:39 PM ^
when you make more than 401k, you don't need a 401k.
January 18th, 2015 at 2:38 PM ^
I wonder who the 9ers will hire to replace him when he's the GM of another team next season, or the commissioner, or something equally ludicrous he'll get paid millions of dollars to do poorly.
January 18th, 2015 at 2:40 PM ^
Dude lives a inexplicably charmed life.
January 18th, 2015 at 2:43 PM ^
Just failing up I see.
January 18th, 2015 at 10:36 PM ^
Another logic conclusion :)
January 18th, 2015 at 2:44 PM ^
Wish I could fail upwards halfway as well as he has.
January 18th, 2015 at 2:45 PM ^
Kiffin would be more qualified to coach the 9ers than the current guy, right?
January 18th, 2015 at 2:48 PM ^
I wonder who they'll get to replace him...
January 18th, 2015 at 2:58 PM ^
Per Shefter: Harbaugh still in play at Oak and SF. Could conceivably coach both...at the same time...from Ann Arbor.
January 18th, 2015 at 3:04 PM ^
Yeah, although he's failed as a HC, he seems to be a pretty talented OC. Bama fans loved him till the OSU loss. Then the fans naturally blamed him for everything -- even though it was Bama's defense that really fell flat. Such is the life of an OC.
January 18th, 2015 at 3:12 PM ^
He knows Lane Kiffin personally. Says he's a bright guy, good person, but he's quiet, not "explosive" enough to be a head coach.
January 18th, 2015 at 3:49 PM ^
I think of his nice wife.
January 18th, 2015 at 3:35 PM ^
If David Brandon was still the AD, he probably would have been our HC :( *shudders*
January 18th, 2015 at 3:43 PM ^
After one year as 49er OC, wins US Presidency. Serves two years before changing name to Zoltan The Magnificent and becoming Intergalactic Emperor for Life.
January 18th, 2015 at 4:36 PM ^
Why do I not doubt that if we still had DB, we'd be welcoming in Kiffin as our coach?

Well that'll be good for Bama, since Kiffin is a real douche.
January 18th, 2015 at 11:20 PM ^
Guy just runs the ball and tOSU loses the Sugar Bowl.
