A source familiar with the situation said Tuesday that Oakland Raiders coach Lane Kiffin could be a good fit for the Razorbacks. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Kiffin has wanted to coach at the college level. Kiffin is in his first season with the Raiders, but there is talk that he might be unhappy with the situation. Oakland is 3-8 this season, and the team has had quarterback issues despite using its first overall pick last April to draft former LSU signal-caller JaMarcus Russell. Kiffin is no stranger to Arkansas. His father, Monte Kiffin, served as a defensive coordinator on Lou Holtz' staff from 1977-79. In addition, Kiffin was the offensive coordinator at the University of Southern California when the Trojans routed the Hogs 70-17 in 2005 and then 50-14 in Reynolds Razorback Stadium a year ago. Kiffin, whose job security with the Raiders has been questioned as recently as last week, signed a three-year contract with Oakland in January. -- Springdale Morning News

The ESPN local radio was throwing around Mike Leach's name for the Ark job. I think he would be a horrible fit for them and the main thing is, HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT DEFENSE and you flat out can't win in the SEC with just offense. Heck, he can't win in the BIG 12 with just offense.
I read on a message board that Crowton is a candidate for Arky and Southern Miss.
Of course, I also read a thread on an LSU board saying Cowher to LSU:mj07: :mj07:
