Lane Kiffin is the perfect moron for the job.
I hear Dan Mullen is available though
Kiffin makes sense for a number of reasons. Several of the names mentioned already have jobs close to/comparable to the Bama gig. For example, Sark at Texas. Texas has more money & resources than Bama so there's no reason for Sark to leave and go follow the legend at Bama. Ole Miss doesn't fall in to that category. Because of this, Kiffin can get more money and have more resources at his disposal than he currently does, so it might make sense for him to make the jump.
Dabo makes sense because it's his alma mater. The allure of being the hometown boy returning to save the day may be enough to offset the unenviable position of being the guy who has to follow Little Nicky.
If it is Kiffy, Bama is going to have to contend with the contract parameters I disclosed in my post a few weeks ago (link provided for reference).
My guess is one of these two will end up taking the job.
Lane Kiffin signs extension
Lane Kiffin just signed an extension with Ole Miss today. Some of my high level CFB sources, 2 of whom are in Mississippi, filled me in on the details so long as I kept their names anonymous. Kiffy’s existing deal just concluded its’ first year and was set to expire at the end of the 2026...
