Oh, what a plot twist this would be.
Imagine Lane Kiffin, former USC head coach and assistant coach, making the jump from Ole Miss to Auburn.
After Auburn hired a new athletic director and fired head football coach Bryan Harsin on a very busy Monday, the Tigers are officially searching for a new coach.
Our friends at Auburn Wire get to follow a head coaching search. We did this last year with Clay Helton, though Helton was fired much earlier in the 2021 season than Harsin was in 2022.
Now that Auburn is looking for a coach, who is at the top of the list?
Auburn Wire thinks it’s Lane Kiffin.
Keep in mind that Kiffin coached at Tennessee for one year. This would therefore be his third SEC head coaching job, and that doesn’t include his stint at Alabama under Nick Saban.
How many SEC teams will Kiffin coach before his career is over?
