Houston decides on Lane Kiffin as next coach

Houston is closing in on a decision to make Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin its next football coach, pending a Thursday meeting at which school President Renu Khator will have to give the final OK, two people with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports. Those people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the school had not yet announced the move.

Kiffin would replace Tom Herman, who left for Texas after two seasons.

Tennessee or USC.

He may be a great OFC but he isn't head coach material.

Reports: Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin to become FAU coach

Alabama OC Lane Kiffin to be next head coach of Florida Atlantic

Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin has agreed to become Florida Atlantic's coach, sources told ESPN.

Kiffin had been engaging in back-and-forth talks with the Conference USA school since last Friday, sources said. At one point, negotiations between the two sides had stalled, but a deal was struck early Monday morning, sources said.

Sources told ESPN.com that Kiffin plans to remain as Alabama's offensive coordinator throughout the College Football Playoff, similar to what former Tide defensive coordinator Kirby Smart did last season after taking the Georgia head-coaching job.
