Kiffin, who is the favorite to land the LSU job, per Marty Smith, will be meeting with Ole Miss coaches Saturday to game plan for Georgia and a date in the SEC Championship Game. However, Alabama would have to lose to Auburn in the Iron Bowl for that game to happen. In the meantime, the dominos are lined up and are ready to fall.

A circus-like environment surrounds Lane Kiffin’s pending decision on returning to Ole Miss or taking a job elsewhere. The Rebels could face UGA in SEC title game.

Nick Saban is expected to be one of two calls he'll make today. The other will be going to Las Vegas Raiders coach Pete Carroll, who hired Kiffin at USC. He texted his former offensive coordinator on Friday night, according to Smith, "Which said, 'Call me anytime, Lane. I promised your father I would always take care you.'"

“My two calls will be the closest to that advice to what my dad would say to do in these things, and that will be coach (Pete) Carroll and coach (Nick) Saban. “Kind of wish my dad was here.” Lane Kiffin, of course, was Saban’s offensive coordinator at Alabama after he served under Carroll at USC.

ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum once compared him to Miley Cyrus and the late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis called him a “flat-out liar.’’

Kiffin's tenure in Oakland was filled with tension between Kiffin and Davis, nearly instantly. Ahead of the 2007 NFL Draft, Kiffin apparently begged Davis to select receiver Calvin Johnson. Davis picked quarterback JaMarcus Russell instead, and the former LSU quarterback is regarded as one of the biggest busts in NFL history.

Back in Week 1, when Alabama got blindsided by unranked Florida State, Crimson Tide fans were screaming for Kalen DeBoer’s headset before the fourth quarter even cooled off. Fast-forward nine wins later, and the same guy they wanted run out of Tuscaloosa is suddenly a top contender for one of the biggest jobs on the board: Penn State.

Lane Kiffin has many options of where to coach next, but could Alabama really be an option for the Ole Miss head coach?
