Rumors have Kiffin to take the OC job at Bama.

Wonder if Nussmeier thinks he could move up if Hoke stumbles again next Fall...

Mandel said Kiffin has been "consulting"?

@schadjoe: Nick Saban has said he's intrigued by uptempo offense because of problems it causes for defenses.

#Michigan hiring OC Doug Nussmeier does open very real possiblity of Lane Kiffin joining #Bama staff. He & Nick Saban are buddies.

@SIPeteThamel1m
Possibility of Kiffin to Bama is very real. Saban inquired about Kiffin when he got job in 07. Kiffin just spent 8 days in Tuscaloosa.

Don't kid yourself, Nussmeier was going to be fired. Nick sent a message to everyone that he wasn't happy with Bama having the 8th ranked Offense in the SEC when he brought in Kiffin before the end of the season.

If you think leaving Bama for Michigan is a promotion or an upgrade then you are sadly mistaken.

This is what a former Tennessee football player that does analysis for local radio told me today too.

Credit to Nussmeier for moving quickly and getting a raise and new job before his rep took the hit from being fired.

I don't understand how Kiffin will help them? USC was underwhelming offensively during his tenure as coach and you or I could have coached their offense when he was the OC and had a lot of success, they were loaded.
