Giants Chill: Kiffin Passes on New York’s Coaching Vacancy
The New York Giants unceremoniously relieved Brian Daboll of his duties after a disastrous 2–8 start to 2025, leaving rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and the franchise in disarray. Amid all the turmoil, rumors swirled that Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin might be tempted by the Big Apple gig. Dart’s father even claimed to have playfully texted Kiffin about the opening—only to receive a cheeky reply that New York was “too cold” for him. Despite the speculation and ESPN insiders dubbing it “The Lane Kiffin Show,” Kiffin remains locked in at Oxford as LSU and Florida circle like vultures. With the Rebels eyeing a College Football Playoff berth, Kiffin’s potential departure has become one of the hottest soap operas in the coaching carousel.
It seems the only thing colder than a New York January is Lane Kiffin’s indifference to an NFL power dream. Did the Giants really think a few snowflakes would entice the man who treats college football like his personal sandbox? Meanwhile, Jaxson Dart’s dad is busy hosting “Bleav in Ole Miss,” doubling as Kiffin’s unofficial agent—because what’s a coaching carousel without a midseason text chain? Rest assured, if Kiffin ever slips on a metro-North platform, he’ll still be too busy calculating win probabilities to care about icy sidewalks. When the smoke clears, New York will be left with frostbitten fans, and Kiffin will stay warm, smug, and undefeated in his own mind.
Dynasties Are Dead? Sarkisian Puts Them on Life Support
Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin recently declared that traditional college football dynasties are extinct, thanks to unprecedented roster turnover and a more balanced schedule. Enter Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian, who has known Kiffin for years and isn’t buying the obituary. Sarkisian argues that while the landscape has shifted—with nine conference games, five road tests, and powerhouse programs like Texas and Oklahoma joining the fray—the essence of sustained excellence remains alive for those bold enough to build it. Kiffin also championed analytic-driven playoff selections akin to baseball and basketball RPIs, a stance Sarkisian lightly mocked as he focuses on forging his own Texas-era legacy.
Sarkisian’s riposte reads like a college football soap opera: “Dynasties are dead,” says the guy still cleaning the snark off his playbook. If dynasties truly were zombies, Sarkisian would be the conductor of their 4th-and-inches resurrection. As for Kiffin’s love affair with analytics, the man who once scheduled the easiest nonconference slate now wants computers to crown champions? It’s like asking Siri to name the next Heisman winner and expecting it not to suggest the inventor of the iPhone. Meanwhile, Texas and Oklahoma turn college football into a high-stakes game of musical chairs, and Sarkisian is ready to stake his claim—dynasty or not.
