Chaos erupted in college football on Wednesday when Michigan fired head coach Sherrone Moore after the school said he had an “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member. He was later jailed as part of an “assault investigation”.
Moore’s firing immediately reinstated the college football coaching carousel just after it appeared the dust had settled. One name that immediately popped up was new LSU Tigers head coach Lane Kiffin.

Kiffin has already created consternation around his decision to leave the Ole Miss Rebels for LSU ahead of the team’s selection for the College Football Playoff. Instead of potentially leading the Rebels to glory, he will attempt to help rebuild LSU into the powerhouse it once was.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy wrote on social media that Michigan would have to double what LSU paid Kiffin to take the Tigers job. But Kiffin cut the fishing line.

“Instead, @stoolepresidente, you #ComeToTheBoot Together we can’t be beaten,” he wrote.
Portnoy appeared to leave Kiffin a few hours later as he named a few coaches he would like to see take over the Michigan job. He named Jon Gruden, Nick Saban, Oregon’s Dan Lanning, Army’s Jeff Monken, Vanderbilt’s Clark Lea, Arizona State’s Kenny Dillingham and Colorado’s Deion Sanders.
For now, Michigan has named Biff Poggi its interim coach as the team prepares for the Citrus Bowl against the Texas Longhorns.
