Multiple sources have also confirmed to SB Nation that Alabama head coach Nick Saban is actively promoting Kiffin to Houston, ostensibly to keep his OC from jumping to a division rival next season.

So Kiffin floats going to LSU

Saban then sets him up at UH.

They are playing chess and we are playing with our dicks.

We are the John Gruden of schools. We get floated out there as jsut a means to leverage other jobs. Like "oh he'll go to LSU if you don't give him money or a better job"

I love a good conspiracy theory, but Houston doesn't give a shite what saban says. Every head coach promotes their assistants.

You think TD posters know this, but Houstons AD doesn't?

He has made phone calls. Assured them that Kiffin has 'matured'

This was all so predictable when you look at how LSU has been running around with our hat in our hand the past year or so.

LSU website- will automatically assume a Bama conspiracy......and LSU fans will believe it.

All, all coaches put in a good word when their assistants are up for jobs...which is probably more what he did than "push" kiffin for the job.

Why would Saban want Kiffin at LSU?

I don't think it's a conspiracy by Saban...it's smart!

If Miles is a serious candidate for this job, I don't think there is any way they pick Kiffin over Miles. May be a good thing or a bad thing. At this point, who knows?

As he should. It's the better career move for Kiffin.

Since you said it, it must be so. Good enough for me.

You actually think Saban cares about that? He doesn't want Kiffin to go to a rival like LSU that with the right coaching is a big threat to Bama.

No him pushing Kiffin to Houston is all about keeping him away from LSU, he is too calculating for that not to be the case!!!

If this happens, hopefully O steals the drunk. That would leave Saban scratching his head.

It's a double whammy. Saban expects Kiffin to go to Houston and lock down recruiting in that area, blocking LSU. Even use dirty recruiting against Orgeron inside of Louisiana.

To be honest, what is Saban supposed to say? It's a question that will get "coach speak" 100% of the time.
Could you imagine the shite storm, if Saban, would have said he wasn't ready.

I agree with you 1,000 percent. Saban is a cold and calculating coach and him wanting Kiffin to go to Houston is all about him not going to LSU and it has nothing to do with wanting Kiffin to get the best HC job possible!!!!
