Wow, didn't see that one coming

Absolutely shocked here as well. Between kiffin, strong and butch Davis, Florida recruiting just got interesting...

Kiffin to FAU

That's nuts.

Reporter:"Mr. Kiffin, it's been rumored that Coach O at LSU says that he wants you as the offensive coordinator in Baton Rouge."

Kiffin sips his umbrella drink and puts on his sunglasses. "Cool. Tell Coach O if he needs to reach me I'll be at the beach."

how do they decide who leaves immediately to "start recruiting" and who doesn't?

[Duggie35]

Kiffin probably thinks it is worth giving up $400,000 - $500,000 per year just to get out from the stress and pressure of working at Alabama or LSU.

He will upgrade Thierry talent significantly. And be gone next year

Kiffin to FAU

FAU's fanbase doesn't have enough blood to keep a chicken alive.

------Some real-estate tycoon probably gave him a condo and another an estate if he stays 3 years!!!

[NewsCopy]

For the past three years, Lane Kiffin has accepted the sideline humiliations and the long hours demanded by Alabama coach Nick Saban because he believed it would be his ticket back to the big time.

it's probably in the initial agreement between the parties involved. including whether or not saban wants him to hang around, and also if fau allows it, or demands he report asap.

Only Temple and Western Kentucky are left to be filled. WKU is a really good gig for someone, Temple has been very good as of late, but challenging to win there.
