Exclamation Rumor Central: 2007 Coaching Carousel Kiffin update!
Quote:
Arkansas Oakland Raiders coach Lane Kiffin and Arkansas have a mutual interest in the school's coaching vacancy. However, some believe that his contract with Al Davis will be too difficult to escape. Meanwhile, the school is busy trying to figure out how to pay Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville's buyout to lure the Tigers coach to Hog Land. Other names being bandied about: Texas Tech coach Mike Leach and North Carolina coach Butch Davis.

I doubt he will go, although he will be tempted, ultimately all coaches want to coach for the NFL, if Kiffin leaves he will probably never get another NFL job again just like Nick Saben is probably never going to coach another NFL team for leaving the Dolphins. But you never know, all he needs is time here and the right players.

This makes me sick that this is even happening. Kiffin should just come out and say that he is NOT interested in any other job than the Raiders. Anything short of that, I think is disrespectful to the Organization, the Players, and The Fans.

That's how I feel. It's not that I'm so worried that he will go, but the fact that he's even interested in leaving after just half a season is not good!!

When was the last time ESPN broke any story? These guys know nothing. If Schefter broke it I would be worried. Im not.

And then there is this from Jason Jones who I am more inclined to believe before anything BSPN says.

It should be noted, a lot of these rumors are based on someone with wishful thinking floating names to the media and that Kiffin isn't necessarily interested in Arkansas, but the other way around.

nice to read BUT... if this is true, Kiff should come out and flatly state that he has no intentions of leaving the Raiders.

the fact that days are going by without him denying these rumors is a little disconcerting.

Which I am sure he will do in the next hour or so when practice concludes.
