Lane Kiffin says 'press box would be ideal’ for national title game

Former Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin, who was removed from his duties Monday in advance of the College Football Playoff national championship game, still might play a role in the game.

Steve Sarkisian will be the offensive coordinator for Alabama in the game, but where will Kiffin be? On Tuesday, Kiffin was asked by ESPN’s Mike Golic during "Mike and Mike" whether the sideline would be a possibility.

“We are checking that out,” Kiffin said. “We do not know legally whether we can do that. … Press box would be ideal because that exchanged Sark and I; what his role was and what my role was.
