Lane Kiffin is backing Nick Saban for college football commissioner

Lane Kiffin endorsed Nick Saban for college football commissioner.

There is currently no college football commissioner or NCAA commissioner, but analysts such as Kirk Herbstreit, Joel Klatt and others have called for such a position to be filled. This is even more true as NIL, the transfer portal and the current topic – the future of teams’ qualification for the College Football Playoff – continue to be discussed among the population.

At the end of his post, he asked people to choose between Saban, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, long-time college football head coach Mack Brown or Oliver Luck, the first commissioner of the XFL and current general manager of the United Athletic Conference.

Kiffin, who has been outspoken on many of these issues in the past, believes his former boss would be perfect for the job.

Anyone who recently commented on his comments during the first round of the College Football Playoff drew some attention, particularly because they resulted in one-sided results.

One of Kiffin’s biggest criticisms of the CFP was the how Ole Miss was one of many SEC teams with three losses that wasn’t on the field during it SMU And Indiana – Teams that lost by multiple points in the first round – made it to the 12-team group.

A key argument from Kiffin was the strength of the schedule. The Rebels’ schedule is ranked 33rd in the country, just behind Indiana, according to ESPN’s FPI as of Saturday afternoon. However, before the game against Notre Dame, the Hoosiers were ranked 67th.

Whether Nick Saban as national commissioner will solve all of these problems facing college football remains to be seen, but either way, he has Kiffin’s vote.
