Lane Monte Kiffin (born May 9, 1975) is an American football coach who is currently the head coach at Florida Atlantic University. Kiffin formerly served as the offensive coordinator for the USC Trojans football team from 2005 to 2006, head coach of the National Football League's Oakland Raiders from 2007 to 2008, head coach of the University of Tennessee Volunteers college football team in 2009, and head coach of the Trojans from 2010 to 2013. He was the youngest head coach in NFL history when he joined the Raiders, and, for a time, was the youngest head coach of a BCS Conference team in college football.[1][2] Kiffin was the offensive coordinator at the University of Alabama from 2014 until 2016, when he was hired at Florida Atlantic.[3]
Kiffin is the son of longtime NFL defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin.[4]
“Saban pulled Kiffin out of the scrap heap. He failed everywhere he coached.”
Kiffin play calling in several games sucked. I wanted Saban to take Kiffin’s head set away and start calling plays earlier than he did. Kiffin is still a west coast offensive coach... throw the ball ...throw the ball...throw the ball. Alabama is a running team and it seems to take to the 4th quarter for them to quit the passing crap and run it and it works.
Kiffin came to TN and brought his father in law as defensive coach. He was a lousy coach and got TN in trouble for recruiting violations. It has taken years to get TN almost back up to where they were before Kiffin. Butch is doing a good job.
Glad to get Kiffin out of the SEC.
Would not expect much at FAU, either.
