Kiffin Leaving “Almost A Done Deal”
November 18th, 2008

Tom Dienhart of Rivals.com, speaking today on the online network’s Sirius radio show, Rivals Radio, noted that former Oakland Raiders coach Lane Kiffin, son of Bucs defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, is in line for one of three coveted college football openings at Washington, Tennessee and Clemson.

Dienhart, a former senior writer for The Sporting News, said his sources have told him that “it’s almost a done deal” that whatever job the younger Kiffin takes he will bring along his father Monte to serve as his defensive coordinator.

“All these kids want to play in the NFL and what better way to help recruiting then to have the kids coached by (Monte Kiffin),” Dienhart said.

Joe was the first to report that Clemson was going after Lane Kiffin only if he brought along his father as the defensive coordinator. Lane Kiffin was interviewed recently by Clemson.

Joe also passed along news that Raiders owner Al Davis, in his press conference announcing the firing of Lane Kiffin, said Monte Kiffin had admitted to Davis he wanted to coach with his son.

Vol Fans looks like it isn't such a "pipe dream" after all. God I hope Tennessee gets him.

Uh, that's the point I've been trying to get across. If you are already a rich man, why not take a pay cut to help your son get off on the right track in the early stages of his career?

I've always figured that Jim Mora would be Washington's next coach.

Jr. or Sr.? And are you serious or joking? Mora is in line to replace Holmgren as Head Coach. He's not going anywhere.

I realize that, but I believe Holmgren when he says he's stepping down. Plus, Mora Jr. is an NFL guy and the DC of an NFL franchise. I think he would wait another year if Holmgren decides to stay on. The talk up in Washington is nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of Huskies fans.
