Lane was an absolute jackass who has matured and been humbled. The Lane Kiffin at Bama, Florida Atlantic, and Ole Miss is a much mature guy than the horse's ass that was at USC and with the Raiders. He's much more likeable and thoughtful. He makes a lot of good points about the state of college football. Lane will absolutely leave Oxford in a heartbeat. But he's smart enough to pick the correct job, and understands that all SEC head coaching jobs are good jobs (except maybe Vandy). So he's not leaving Oxford unless he really likes the opportunity.

Lane will get some opportunities. He can coach.

Is there any state in the US that has a coaching lineup like Lane Kiffin, Mike Leach, and Deion Sanders? Consider our population and then tell me a state that compares when you consider those 3 and their overall football impact. It's a dream for a sports reporter.
