John Chavis, Kevin Steele, Brick Haley, John Thompson, Jimbo Fisher, etc. 

Coaches make lateral moves all the time for any number of reasons. Parallel moves aren't uncommon--especially among coordinators, who are well known to move every 2-3 years.


Guys like Chavis, Steele, Brick, and Thompson are career assistants with little or no desire to be a head coach.... Lane Kiffin and Lincoln Riley are in great situations right now and having great success that will lead to interviews for Head Coach... they add risk to that by jumping ship to LSU under an unproven head coach...

Riley isn't going anywhere this year

Kiffin apparently is no longer wanted at Bama, so he is on his way out it appears.

Aranda came to work for Les Miles even though anyone could see that our offense was atrocious and he knew Miles was on the hot seat.

A strong coordinator on the come up who is confident in his abilities will make a move to benefit his career.

Kiffin is under the shadow of Saban and not getting much credit for what he's doing there. Just another in a line of successful OC's at Bama and "winning with Saban talent."

Turn around a pathetic LSU offense and do it outside the shadow of Saban and it adds credibility.

Clearly this year even 2nd and 3rd tier programs aren't hiring Kiffin as a HC based on what he's doing at Bama and now it looks like they're sending him packing.
