According to USA Today, Houston will hire Lane Kiffin as its next head coach:
Houston has decided on Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin to be its next football coach, pending a Thursday meeting at which school President Renu Khator will have to give the final OK, two people with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports. Those people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the school had not yet announced the move.
Congratulations to Lane, but this is certainly an unneeded distraction for a playoff team. Here’s hoping he follows Kirby’s lead and sticks around for a playoff run.
