Lane Kiffin: Kyler Murray Should 'Change His Mind and Go Play Baseball'

Florida Atlantic head coach Lane Kiffin would prefer not to see Kyler Murray line up at quarterback for Oklahoma when the two teams meet in the season opener Sept. 1.

Per USA Today's Scott Gleeson, Kiffin brought up Murray's professional baseball career during the Conference USA media day on Thursday.

"He should change his mind and play baseball," Kiffin said.

A two-sport athlete, Murray was selected by the Oakland Athletics with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2018 MLB draft.

The A's gave Murray a $4.66 million signing bonus, but the deal allows him to play the 2018 college football season with the Sooners.
