ATLANTA – Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin didn’t speculate on 2017 after Saturday night’s 54-16 hammering of Florida in the Southeastern Conference title game.
Kiffin did, however, guarantee that he would coach the Crimson Tide through their playoff run.
“Yes. If they’ll have me,” Kiffin said.
Kiffin has been mentioned as a possibility for the head-coaching vacancy at Houston, and there has been speculation that he will be leaving Tuscaloosa for the same role at LSU under coach Ed Orgeron. A media report out of New Orleans last week claimed that Saturday would be Kiffin’s last game at Alabama.
Former Crimson Tide defensive coordinator Kirby Smart became Georgia’s head coach after last year’s SEC title game but worked under Nick Saban through Alabama’s run to a fourth national championship in seven seasons. Saban said he has talked with Kiffin.
