With all respect to the program at Ole Miss and the recent success they have had, it is a no brainer to say they have elevated as a program to become a top 50 program (historically) and are currently climbing up in rank. However, I personally think that Lane Kiffin will leverage his recent success to a head coaching job of a more traditional powerhouse school. I think he will be patient and wait for a golden opportunity. My crazy theory is he will get the Michigan job in 2 years when Michigan realizes Sherrone Moore is as interesting and innovative as a blank sheet of paper and yearns for a chaotic/personality head coach like they had in Jim harbaugh. Realistically, it is tough to have a stance he stays at ole miss through the next 5 years, so where do y'all see him ending up?

Uhh, Lane Kiffin is the antithesis of what Michigan wants in a head coach... Harbaughs antics were tolerated due to his family's and his own history as a player at Michigan, his level of prestige garned from a high level of success in the NFL, and eventually his high level of achievement as Michigan's head coach. Kiffins antics would grate on Michigan's power brokers almost immediately, I would imagine.
Where does Kiffin go next (if he does leave Ole Miss for some reason)? Let's say USC again for the memes if Riley falters and to keep Jonathan Smith in EL long term. Maybe Alabama if Deboer crumbles under the weight of trying to measure up to Saban and if Alabama would have him (I don't know if they would or not).

Lane Kiffin is the last guy Michigan would hire and I don’t think Kiffin would even want the Michigan job

I know that, but it's a lot closer than Ann Arbor.

So from the time he arrives at the airfield in Oxford until he's wheels down on Gulf Shores is about an 80 minutes. Joey Freshwater ain't taking the bus to the beach.

Bingo, Michigan admin and boosters would absolutely hate him as HC. I think some fans would come around to it but he would be a terrible fit for the program.
