“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

the odd thing is that for all of the wasted words typed about him (including myself in this yet again) is that he is generally viewed as generally uncomfortable in front of the camera.
That said, it makes sense. ESPN knows this is the “last chance” to use him as a ratings grab, and Lane knows he has “one shot” to offer his perspective publicly in an attempt to repair his image to get a shot to coach somewhere. He needs to say what he learned from the whole experience, what his goals are, etc. Make no mistake, he is a WR coach in the NFL or a maybe a coordinator at the college level. If I were him, I would say something to the effect of “i would love to go somewhere where I have a chance to contribute to a scheme or position group, but also to where I can learn a bit from a veteran coach on how to manage the other aspects of the program. I am a young guy, and perhaps I was not totally prepared for the opportunities I was given nor did I have enough perspective as to how to relate to others. The good thing is I am still young, and I have the potential to rebuild my career.”
If he was sincere, the guys on gameday would eat it up, and I would be flat out shocked if someone did not give him a chance to be an assistant in 2014.

He gets a lot of attention, but I am not sure he gets a lot of positive attention. I think the national media has loved having him as a lightning rod for controversy over the past few years. Plain and simple.
I don’t think he is getting paid to do the spot. He is doing it because he needs to be able to plead the case I outlined to get employers to want to talk to him.
I have no idea how good of an X and O or position coach he is. Obviously, USC had a lot of success on offense when he was there, but he had a lot of talent for the college game. So again, I have no idea what he is capable of. that said, just having watched enough coaching, it is not at all unreasonable to think he could land somewhere as an assistant in 2014. that said, I think it would behoove him to begin to rehab his image NOW before he lands his next job because any attention he draws to himself as a position coach or coordinator is going to seem opportunistic. He has demonstrate publicly that he made mistakes and then put his head down and contribute to a team or an organization winning such that someone is willing to say, “Lane Kiffin has done a great job with that unit.” Otherwise, the next time you hear about him as a head coach, it will be at some impossible lower tier job like NM State or FAU that no sane person would take.

“Oh…you gotta quit knocking the idea of Condi on the committee, according to your close friend Tony,”
Excellent point. I think the time has come today to stop knocking Condi for being on the Committee. Aside from Mr. CFB (the first to put her name in play as a wild card)*, to Condi’s credit (but mostly because her former teammates Dick and Donald just don’t like her), she didn’t get an invite to Dick’s celebrity roast:
