Lane Kiffin confirms LSU football related rumor from 2016

For the last several years, there have been rumors/rumblings that Lane Kiffin was set to become Ed Orgeron’s offensive coordinator at LSU in 2016.

But there had never been any confirmation of that rumor.

Until this week.

Kiffin, in an interview with Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger, said he had an agreement with then LSU athletic director Joe Alleva that he would become the Tigers’ offensive coordinator on two conditions.

If Coach O was promoted to the full time head coach and as long as Kiffin didn’t receive an opportunity to become a head coach.
