Could Lane Kiffin get the Florida OC job?

The rumor mill was whirring way before Florida announced the firing of offensive co-ordinator Brent Pease and offensive line coach Tim Davis that the Gators would be firing some of Will Muschamp’s staff.

Now that Pease and Davis has been fired, the rumor mill is whirring about another man: Lane Kiffin.

Lane Kiffin is no stranger to the SEC, having taken the Tennessee job in 2008 and left in 2010. After Tennessee he went to the ‘other’ USC, where he was fired bang in the middle of the college football season amid accusations that the Trojans team had stopped playing for him. He was fired – bizarrely – at Los Angeles International Airport coming back from ‘guiding’ his team to a 63-41 loss at Arizona State.

Kiffin’s arrival in Florida would be controversial.

But he’s certainly not the only person on the list.

There’s offensive guru Dave Christensen, who was recently fired as coach of Wyoming, Clay Helton, the OC at USC who’s probably going to get fired by incoming coach Steve Sarkisian, who just accepted the role as Trojans coach today. He’ll leave Washington.

And there are others on the list. The Gators can pretty much get who they want…..they are rich in money and talent and they are in the SEC.
