Richt steps down....UM fans and writers have Kiffin on their short list

I don't see him heading down there…..but anything is possible….

Major Applewhite will soon be on the market. If Kiffin leaves, FAU should take a long look at him. If Kiffin stays, Kiffin should take a long look at Applewhite for OC.

IMHO…there is now way in heck the U goes after Lane. He is still unproven. The U needs to find the right guy , right now. UCF has the right guy. UF has the right guy. FSU's hire of Briles will make it look as though they have the right guy. FAU and FIU are set. But the Canes are moving backward. This is a very important hire for them. No risk.

Here's the Scoop's take on it.

Mentions several people like Cristobal, Butch Davis, etc but regarding Kiffin specifically:

"There is a younger local option in Florida Atlantic head coach Lane Kiffin. His profile was bigger than his employer’s when he took the job in December of 2016, and mushroomed further during his 2017 debut that saw the Owls go 11-3 and win their first Conference USA title. During that run, Kiffin shot down numerous job questions by citing his love for FAU’s location; such objections would become moot if Miami were to come calling. However, the Lane Train brings its own baggage at any stop, and FAU’s drop from 11-3 to 5-7 in 2018 raises concerns his 2017 success was more about offensive coordinator Kendal Briles than Kiffin."

Pretty much sums it up for me.

They wanted continuity, and they got it…but not seeing this end well (in a couple years).

Defensive guys never seem to make great head coaches for the most part, do they?
