Kiffin says he's staying at Alabama

A former head coach in both the pro and college ranks, Lane Kiffin said Monday he plans to return to Alabama next season as offensive coordinator.

Kiffin spoke at the Sugar Bowl media session along with offensive stars from the top-ranked Crimson Tide, about the same time several NFL teams were dismissing their coaches on what is known as "Black Monday."

Asked if he plans to return to Alabama next season after a dynamic offensive season that served as a bit of redemption, Kiffin replied, "Yes. Definitely. I think that we've still got a lot of stuff that we can do better."
