Auburn football fans react to bold Lane Kiffin-AU prediction

Even before Bryan Harsin was fired by the program towards the end of the 2022 season, all Auburn football fans have been able to talk about is who the next head coach of the program will be. The Tigers rebounded in a major way by naming Cadillac Williams the interim head coach, but all eyes are on the next leader of the program.

For a long time, fan favorites in the coaching search were Lane Kiffin and Deion Sanders, but once it became apparent that landing the current coach of Ole Miss was a real possibility, the majority of Auburn football fans across the board have jumped onto the Lane Train.

Things heated up this week as more rumors began to swirl about the coaching search. The flight tracking madness began and folks speculated that Kiffin may have already agreed to a new contract with Auburn while many in the Ole Miss camp swear up and down that he would never leave Oxford for the Plains.

The latest prediction in what will happen at the end of the coaching search is a rather bold one, coming from Blain Crain of Crain & Company:

The Egg Bowl is played on Thanksgiving day, and the Iron Bowl is the following Saturday. Is Blain saying that Kiffin would be announced as the Tigers’ next coach as the team heads into Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama? And how would he have any way of knowing this? Fans weighed in, from frustrated to hopeful:

As the coaching search draws nearer to a conclusion, speculation and rumors continue to fly, but we will likely not have concrete news until the end of the season, whether the next coach is Lane Kiffin or someone else.
