The Crimson Tide are searching for a new offensive coordinator after Doug Nussmeier left to join Brady Hoke’s staff at Michigan.

Kiffin was fired by USC in late September after a blowout loss to Arizona State.  He went 28-15 with the Trojans.

“Lane is a really good offensive coach, and I’ve always had a tremendous amount of respect for him,” Alabama head coach Nick Saban said last month after the 38-year-old Kiffin paid him a visit prior to the Sugar Bowl. “Just to come in and brainstorm a little bit to get some professional ideas with our guys is a really positive thing.”

If he gets the job at Alabama, Kiffin would have some big shoes to fill.  Nussmeier helped the Tide offense average 38.2 points per game this season.
