Lane Kiffin to Maryland? There is a strong possibility that Kiffin will be out as Alabama's offensive coordinator and could be heading to Maryland to become their new head coach.
Several news sources like Saturday Down South and 247 Sports, are reporting that "Per a reliable source in Tuscaloosa, 'the situation has run its course' and Kiffin seems unlikely to return next year," wrote Jeff Ermann of 247Sports.

It's was expected that Kiffin could potentially leave the Crimson Tide after this season. There was speculation last year that Kiffin was interviewing for a head coaching position, but he was waiting for the right opportunity to come along.
The Maryland job would be perfect for Kiffin because It would be another high-profile job in a huge conference, but unlike the Tennessee and USC jobs, the expectations may not be as high.

Maryland fans would be thrilled just to make it to a bowl game, something they will likely miss this year with the team owning a 2-8 record.
Kiffin came to Alabama after he was fired at USC. At the time the move was thought to be controversial by Nick Saban because of Kiffin's brash and arrogant attitude. There were some wondered aloud if the relationship would sour between the two.
But the move has paid off for both Kiffin and Saban. Kiffin's offense last year was one of the best in the country and one of the best in school's history.
And this year, he has Alabama running back Derrick Henry in the running for Bama's second Heisman Trophy.
Even if Kiffin does not end up at Maryland, from sounds of it, he is out of Tuscaloosa.
