They would be looking for a new coach again in 3 years.
Arands to LSU makes sense, it would really matter who his offensive coordinator is. Another unproven commodity at a big, demanding program.
I think Lane heads to Miami. He will believe he can breathe new life into that program and the lifestyle fits like a glove.
To me, Stoops or Bill O Brien makes more sense to either LSU or UF but I hope they overlook those candidates for some reason.
Another one to watch is Arkansas OC Kendal Briles getting a chance somewhere like a Sun belt school or something. That would put Arkansas in a tough spot of having to recruit a coordinator to fit a certain style and personnel. That can be tricky business.
Other big jobs are going to open, this is going to be a crazy offseason.
I am just asking, why do so many ED folks think Miami and Kiffin are a pair?
Miami has no money for football. They get a check from the ACC, but that's all Title IX money. They have no stadium, no fans, and the biggest "alumn" for football is Luther Campbell. South Florida residents will tell you that Miami is a Pro-Sports town that is Northeastern in Character.
Also, Miami and South Florida does not really look to the SEC. To Miami, the NFL assistant coach pool is more ideal and desired.
Miami hires coaches like Al Golden from Temple for $400K per season. They are probably looking at a TE coach in Oklahoma. Or a current Special Teams coach with the Miami Dolphins, they can save on the Relocation Package. They are not going to punch up for an SEC coach. I bet Joe Moorehead is more a candidate than Kiffin, if JM is willing to coach for $500K per season.
It will be fun to see what happens. Will they splurge their ACC payout to be good in football again?
