What Could Kiffin's Staff Look Like:

First of all, through Kiffin's coaching career, there has been a ton of crossover with current and former LSU coaches, as well as guys with Louisiana ties.

To start, Austin Thomas and Kelvin Bolden both previously worked under Kiffin. LSU's current General and Assistant GM. You would think they would remain in place. Jai Choudhary, Associate Director of Player Personnel, was once on Kiffin's Ole Miss staff.

Offensive
OC- Joe Cox or Charlies Weiss Jr

Note: Cox is the Co-OC @ Ole Miss. I think OM pushes hard to hold Weiss if Kiffin leaves abruptly. It should be noted that Weiss has coaches with Kiffin 8 of the last 12 football seasons.

RB- Frank Wilson or Kevin Smith

Note: Wilson worked with Kiffin at Tenn. Kevin Smith has been Kiffin's long time RB coach through FAU and Ole Miss. Smith was a stud RB at UCF and played in the NFL.


WR Coach- Gabe Fertitta or Jeremy Singleton

Notes: Fertitta has no connection to Lane, this is just a shakeup for recruiting purposes and a respected offensive coach. Would give in-roads to BR. Current OC at Nicholls. Singleton is a former Brother Martin/Houston/GA Southern WR who is currently an analyst at OM. He is the lead recruiter for Easton Royal.


TE Coach- Joe Cox maintains TE for OM, currently.

OL Coach- James Cregg or Rob Sale

Notes: Cregg has been on multiple staffs with Kiffin and formerly coached at LSU. Sale is the OL Coach at Florida and is an LSU alum. Both would be solid hires.



Defensive

Defensive Coordinator- Zach Arnett.

Notes: Arnett is the former Miss St HC, who did a rehab stint as an analyst at OM last year. He is currently on the support staff at Florida St.

DL Coach- Chris Kiffin or Ed Orgeron

Notes: Kiffin is Lane's brother, who has skins on the wall as a DL/LB coach and recruiting coordinator. Orgeron obviously has a long history with Lane. Would he be too disruptive?

LB- Jett Johnson or Ernie Sims

Notes: Jett Johnson is an assistant LB coach at UConn, with ties to Arnett at Miss State. Sims is the Asst LB coach at Florida St, currently where Arnett is on staff.


DB- Corey Raymond or Trovon Reed

Notes: Raymond is obviously the incumbent and an important piece of the staff. Trovon Reed has no connection, but is from Thibodaux and is an ascending recruiter and position coach.

Safeties: Wes Neighbors

Notes:Neighbors has stints on Kiffin's staff at FAU and now Ole Miss. He played at Bama, knows the league, and is well respected.


Special Teams- Coach Chris.

Notes: Nuff said.
