Report: Alabama’s Lane Kiffin Interviewed For The Maryland Job

Andrew Holleran
Lane Kiffin could be headed to the Big Ten.
According to a report by InsideMDSports.com’s Jeff Ermann, the Alabama offensive coordinator recently interviewed for the Maryland job. Kiffin, who’s been with the Crimson Tide since 2014, “seems unlikely to return next year,” per the report.
Kiffin hasn’t been a head coach since getting fired by USC in 2013.

A Big Ten East Division with Urban Meyer, Jim Harbaugh, Mark Dantonio, James Franklin and Lane Kiffin? Yes, please.

Yes, I read about this.

 

[rocknthefreeworld]

Lane has been pretty good at Bama, but I never saw him as more than a 2-3 years and then on to bigger things.

 

[XXL TideFan]

He came to Bama to get some polish and rehab. If he paid attention to Coach, he may be ready to be a HC .......finally.

PS - I think he would work at Mizzou

 

[bcracker]

I can't see him at Maryland.

 

[rocknthefreeworld]

Not sure anyone wants Mizzou right now. The whole school seems to be a dumpster fire and the team was heavily divided. Sure they will come together for the end of this season, but now that some of them think they were able to bring down the head of the whole school it could be ugly next year.

I agree with that.....But Maryland????? I guess there would not be heavy expectations there and if you steadily win 6-7 games you could keep yourself employed. Another stepping stone perhaps?

 

[psychojoe]

I have doubts that this really happened. It may be a trial balloon by the Maryland athletic department to see how it is received, or it may be that someone in their athletic structure talked to Kiffin's agent, but a mid season interview just doesn't ring true to me.

 

[jdpas29]

I don't buy it. Maryland has a tradition of sucking and lane is too pinkys out for the Meth tigers

 

[OldPlayer]

Sometimes it helps to practice interviewing. It's not that you want the job, but that you don't want your first interview to be for THE job.

 

[UAgrad93]

Doubt seriously that he interviewed. I'm thinking like @psychojoe here. Maryland AD throwing names out to see how people to react.

I also doubt he interviewed. There just isn't any time.

 

[PhillyGirl]

SI saying the report is false

Please Lord let him get a job and leave. His play calling drives me nuts. His running game and blocking schemes drive me nuts.

Great recruiter and has done ok but he is no Mcelwain. Who was by far my favorite playe caller.

You don't have to like the method, but the results haven't been too bad. IF he left, who would you think could do better and would have an interest?

I don't have any names for you but I find it hard to imagine that there wouldn't be an incredibly long list of interested candidates.

 

[alabama mike]

He has not interviewed according to Bleacher Report. Why would anyone want to go to Maryland?

 

[OldPlayer]

Interested? Yes. Good? Not as many. Great? Even fewer.

 

[Bamabww]

I hope it's not true and like some of you doubt very seriously that it is. I hope he doesn't leave, he's done a great job with our last two starting QBs. We're going to need somebody that can do that again next year. Imo, someone they're already familiar with.

I would like to see what he could do with Barnett.
