Ed Orgeron Confirms Lane Kiffin Was Ready To Come To LSU

Earlier this week we heard that before Lane Kiffin took the head coaching job at FAU, he was going to come to LSU to be the Tigers offensive coordinator. Over the weekend head coach Ed Orgeron confirmed it. Per The Advocate...

quote:
Orgeron revealed Friday what’s been reported since November: He was after then-Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin as his next offensive coordinator.

“We were looking at Lane Kiffin. He was going to come. He got a head (coaching) job,” Orgeron said.

Kiffin left Alabama in December and landed the head coaching gig at Florida Atlantic. The Advocate reported about Orgeron’s serious interest in Kiffin after the coach met with athletic director Joe Alleva during his interview for the long-term job Nov. 25. The two are close friends from their days as assistants at Southern California.

Thank God for FAU.

So glad we got Canada instead

kjntgr•108 months

Why? Has Canada a game yet?

TigerIT•108 months

Why yes, yes he has. Had quite a few at Pitt. You dipshit.

TheFunk•108 months

Hindsight 20/20, but what's the point of this coming out now? Does it make it awkward for Coach Canada?

Spankum•108 months

agreed....

TigerSpray•108 months

Until he whips bama.

CaliTigerHB•108 months

Who cares? This is not news

Lexman1•108 months

Why is this news. This all came about in December. It's no secret O wanted Kiffin. They're good friends. It didn't work out, and we got Canada. A win win situation. Move on please!

Malaysian Tiger•108 months

Dirty Laundry!!

AtlantaLSUfan•108 months

I'd rather Canada.

TigerSpray•108 months

Hanky Panky Sanky would have banned him 4Life from being an SEC head coach one day if he left Bama for LSU. SCREW the SEC.

EvrybodysAllAmerican•108 months

This is what made me not want Coach O most of all. Would have been a train wreck with those 2 back together. NCAA sanctions likely and Kiffin looking to jump for a HC job all along the way. Im feeling much better about O with Canada/Aranda.

RFK•108 months

Damn Kiffin done found some serious beer weight at Bama. Must have turned to them Red Sandwiches.

blueboy•108 months

Saban wouldn't allow it, and Lane knows why. He was never coming here.

shotcaller1•108 months

Does O have a translator follow him around or is it up the interviewer to provide one

EvrybodysAllAmerican•108 months

He uses the same one Les Miles had

scott2274•108 months

U better get a bodyguard to follow u around acting all big and bad behind your keyboard. Why don't u go spew out that garbage to Coach O face to face. Yeah right!! Haha. We all know how that would turn out. He'd either whip your arse or just shake his head and laugh at u. Then who would look stupid? U, that's who!!

TT9•108 months

No idea why Kiffin would wanna work for a garbage coach like lOl. What a fall from Grace.

caliegeaux•108 months

because the much higher profile job at auburn was already filled?

Daddyof4•108 months

Yep, I'll believe a guy that was basically let go before the NC game and a guy that barely speaks English.

OceanMan•108 months

Wut
