The Lane Kiffin soap opera, in which he was linked to four different jobs while leading Ole Miss to the playoff, was like a miniseries complete with horrible breakups and airport meltdowns. Along the way he trolled Hugh Freeze, who was fired at Auburn. He trolled just about everyone else, too. Then he did an interview at the Oxford airport and scrammed out of town."
"The Penn State coaching search meandered. Brian Kelly vanished into the night in Death Valley. Mike Gundy is gone, a huge void in the Quotes of the Year universe. Notre Dame skipped a bowl game after getting left out of the College Football Playoff. Then Miami and Indiana bullied their way into the national championship game, giving us new blood for the first time in years."
