2022-23 college football coaching carousel

Sources: Kiffin, players meet amid job speculation

Probably. Notice Lane's sources aren't saying he has zero interest in any other gigs.

 

Kiffin could run off 10-win seasons at Ole Miss for the next 10 years and rake in $50 million. I know that’s not how these guys are wired, but still. The crazy-hot scale was created for coaching jobs like Auburn.

 

As I explained on another site to some chowderheads going on and on about all this, Kiffin hasn't issued a true denial. It's all been word salad non-denial denials and so forth.

I know that's how the game is played. He could be on the way to Nebraska, for all anyone knows.

 

Lane Kiffin as the second coming of Pat Dye is not the plot twist I saw coming.

 

I’d be shocked if Kiffin is coaching the Rebs in 2023. If not auburn, where could he go if he, at least, has a ceiling of a national title? He doesn’t at Ole Miss, not at Nebraska.

There is a wild-card here. In the agent world, perhaps an agent has told Kiffin that a blue blood might open unexpectedly after the season and that he’s getting vetted for that. (If Auburn hires, say, Lanning and Oregon opens up yet again or if Texas or aTm opens.)

 

How good of a job is aTm?

 

I can about promise you Sexton is telling Kiffin to stay put, while at the same time, telling Ole Miss brass that he’s “exploring other options”.

 

Known as the Nick Saban Strategy(TM), authored by Sexton.

 

Just a higher ceiling and deeper pockets than Ole Miss.

 

Also, 10-win seasons in Oxford are not something to expect routinely.

 

Looks to me that Lane Train would be the first guy to coach at three SEC schools. (Bear Bryant coached at three current SEC schools, but ATM wasn't in the league at the time.)
Nobody does the intraconference coaching move thingy quite like the SEC. Kiffin would be the 10th coach to go from one SEC school one year to a different league brother the next. At least one of those was not a poach job; Alabama chased off Bill Curry, who officially quit and took the Kentucky job shortly thereafter.
ACC, by contrast, has only had two such moves: Jim Tatum from Maryland in 1955 to UNC, his alma mater, in 1956. Tom O'Brien went from BC in 2006 to NC State in 2007.
Big Ten: 4. Two in the 1920s and two in the same offseason, 1972-73.
