Well... he doesn't deny it.
Lane Kiffin appeared on SportsCenter on Tuesday after his introductory press conference as Florida Atlantic's head coach. During the interview, Kiffin was asked on if he would bring Alabama assistant Steve Sarkisian with him to Boca Raton, and Kiffin's answer left a lot to be interpreted.

That... that was a huge non-answer from the new head coach.
Kiffin and Sarkisian go back a long way, as the two used to be assistants under Pete Carroll at USC. Sarkisian, who was fired as USC's head coach last season, as been an assistant for Alabama for most of this season. It is possible that he takes over for Kiffin as Alabama's offensive coordinator, as well.
Kiffin will be returning to Tuscaloosa later on Tuesday in order to resume his offensive coordinator duties through the College Football Playoff.
