Alabama will get to keep Lane Kiffin around for the College Football Playoff even though he's taken a job with FAU as their next head coach. That gives Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide to find his replacement and it looks like they already have a list of candidates.

Am told Nick Saban is expected to consider in-house candidates for #Alabama OC job: Sark, Mike Locksley & Billy Napier.

RELATED: Report: Lane Kiffin has agreed on next coaching position
Steve Sarkisian was brought in this year as an offensive analyst and that could have been to ultimately succeed Kiffin and give the former USC head coach a shot at getting back into the coaching game. Napier has been on staff for four years and is currently the receivers coach and has been responsible for guys like Amari Cooper, Calvin Ridley and ArDarius Stewart. Locksley is currently an offensive analyst for Alabama and was the interim head coach for Maryland when Randy Edsall was fired.
