Yep Bruce Feldman is reporting it. So that’s probably as good as gold. This one is toughest loss to swallow on the staff in my opinion

I’m really surprised. I didn’t see this coming.

We should be celebrating right now. The San Francisco friggin' 49ers are stealing coaches from FAU.  We should have a parade.  The world wants our coaches. Welcome to the big time. Thank you Lane Kiffin!

Im assuming that if this occurred due to some internal conflict between the two brothers, this might be news to Lane and it might take a while to hire a new DC.

However, if Lane and Chris talked through this and decided it was best for him to leave, I can imagine Lane has already lined up the DC position.

I think the timing of the replacement may give us clues as to what happened.

Its why Im so shocked. I had convinced myself that Lane was going to stay here to help Chris get through his penalties. The NFL wasnt an option Id thought…damn. Seemed like Lane really enjoyed having Chris’ family around, thats a bummer.

Worst case, Monte can playcall in his sleep!

Now we'll find out which son Monte likes the most. hahaha. Will he leave and help Chris or stay and help Lane.  I'm guessing Boca. He doesn't seem like a SanFran kind of man. We'll be fine. Lots of qualified guys out there to replace him.

Monte as the DC and Charlie Weis JR as the OC.  We'll have the oldest DC and the youngest OC.
