Saban kicked him out because he had turned his attention to the FAU job rather than preparing for the national.championship game.

It was all covered fairly extensively at the time.

the Lane Kiffin documentary alluded to Lane not being able to balance the new FAU job and the playoffs. so Saban let him off the hook early.

i hardly call it a "firing".

Alabama lost that game. So it was quite the big deal.

Lane was coming to LSu to be OC with Oberon. Saban didn’t want so he made arrangements for him to take the FaU job. Lane was probably a little salty after that and Saban released him from his duties.

Saban fired him for being Joey Freshwater with bama students. Google Joey Freshwater. It’s why he and Layla split.

Couldn’t handle two jobs at once. Showed up to a staff meeting the day after the semi-final late and reeking of booze and that was the final straw.

No one here knows the real truth. Only what they have heard or think happened.

He left because Alabama has a state income tax.

Lane was going to be LSU OC for ED O. Saban didn’t like that so he told Sexton to find him a hc gig. Jimmy did and the rest is history.
