Lane Kiffin Says Deion Sanders Would ‘Do Great’ As Auburn Coach

Since Auburn made the decision to fire coach Bryan Harsin after just 21 games with the program, several candidates’ names have been floated around the college football landscape in regard to who should become the Tigers’ next coach.

Among the potential candidates include Ole Miss’s Lane Kiffin, Liberty’s Hugh Freeze, former Panthers coach Matt Rhule and Jackson State coach Deion Sanders.

However, during this week’s SEC coaches teleconference call, Kiffin said he was not interested in becoming Auburn’s next head coach. The 47-year-old is focused on leading an Ole Miss team that currently sits at 8-1 heading into its bye week.
