In 3 seasons, Kiffin’s Trojans won 25 games, but it wasn’t enough to appease athletic director Pat Haden after a 7-6 finish in 2012. That’s when USC came calling about its head coach opening following Carroll’s departure to the Seattle Seahawks. When Kiffin’s NFL coaching career soon fizzled, he inherited Phillip Fulmer’s mess in Knoxville as Tennessee’s head coach in 2008 and paced the Vols to a second-place finish in the SEC East. Kiffin spent 6 seasons on Pete Carroll’s staff at Southern California before becoming a first-year head coach in 2007 with the Oakland Raiders - the NFL’s youngest head coach in the modern era (31). It’s safe to say he did just that, calling plays for Alabama’s 2015 national championship squad. Kiffin, the former Fresno State quarterback, teamed up with Nick Saban at Alabama in January of 2014 in hopes of bringing a faster tempo to the Crimson Tide’s offense. Second-place Arkansas averaged 236.5 rushing yards per contest. In 2022 at Ole Miss, Kiffin’s Rebels averaged 256.5 yards per game on the ground to lead the SEC. Though he gets categorized as a pass-happy offensive mind, his offenses consistently finish at the top or near the top of the conference in rushing yards per game.
He’s also turned into a heck of a coach in every aspect of the game. In fact, Kiffin is one of the best Twitter accounts to follow in the entire sports world.īut he’s not just a great social media presence and aggressive play-caller.
Lane Kiffin has never been afraid to do a couple of things - go for it on fourth down and tease other coaches on Twitter. Oxford, Mississippi, USA Mississippi Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin walks off the field during a timeout during the first quarter of the game against the Auburn Tigers at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
