Just like many former Nick Saban assistants, it’s only a matter of time before they are offered high profile head coaching jobs and Lane Kiffin’s situation was no different.
It was announced today that Kiffin, a former Alabama offensive coordinator, and Florida Atlantic head coach is finalizing a deal to become the new head coach of Ole Miss. If everything goes accordingly Kiffin will be the third head coach in the last five years to take the reigns of the Rebels program after the firing of Matt Luke following a loss to arch-rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl.
