Also, USC OC Kiffen is going to interview for the Minnesota Job.
Charlie Strong will be a head coach this offseason. He was in the discussion for a lot of jobs last summer and especially after the performance his and co-D coordinator Greg Mattison's defense put display Monday he will get his own team and chance IMO.

I have heard he is also in the running for the Minnesota job as well as Tulsa. I like Charlie a lot and would hate to lose him, but it would be great to see him get a shot as a HC. Charlie is a great guy and a great football mind.

Chris definitely had a few issues growing up, they were pretty well publicized around here due to Monte's connections with the Vikings. He definitey went in a different direction than Lane, although I guess growing up where Lane did, with such low crime rate, if he would have steered off course he would have every officer in town hot on his tail.
