At this point, I'm more concerned over us getting to a point where we would be concerned that he left. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about the hire, but before I worry about someone courting him away, I'm gonna focus my worry on getting to a friggin' bowl game!
You should be more than "a bit skeptical." I'm quite certain Lane has a career arc in mind that includes another shot in the bigs.

This is what I thought on November 10th about Kiffin...

In short, I think Kiffin was the best option available after the decision to release Fulmer was made.
It's very possible he'll return to the NFL at some point. However, I think even Al Davis mentioned (in the press conference concerning the supposed letter) that he (Kiffin) wanted to pursue college jobs. So, if that's true, I expect that he may have been more focused on landing a college coaching job.
