ATLANTA -- Lane Kiffin said he wants to stay on as Alabamas offensive coordinator through the playoff, regardless of whether he accepts another coaching position elsewhere.Kiffin, in his third season at Alabama, is reportedly in the running to become LSUs next offensive coordinator. Sources also told ESPNs Brett McMurphy that Kiffin will interview on Sunday for Houstons head-coaching vacancy.Kiffin said he wasnt worried about the question of whether he wanted to be a head coach again. Asked whether he sees any circumstance in which he would be at Alabama for another season, Kiffin said, Yeah, I sure do.Im happy to be here, he said after No. 1 Alabamas 54-16 victory over Florida on Saturday in the SEC championship game. Coach [Nick] Saban and I talked this week about what a great experience its been. ... Well keep going from here. You know this season isnt over.People talk about next year, but we have a lot of work to do.With true freshman Jalen Hurts, Kiffin has won three SEC titles with as many quarterbacks. The offensive coordinator?said he has learned at Alabama how to build an offense around players.Its been a great experience, he said. Im a lot better for it, three years later, for being able to go through that.Saban was asked Saturday if he expected any member of his staff who might be offered another job to continue coaching with the Crimson Tide through the playoff or to leave immediately.?I think it depends on the circumstance and the situation, and I think those are things that people have to agree on relative to what their goals and aspirations are, the circumstance and situation that theyre in, their commitment to our players and our team, and do we think its going to affect our organization long term, Saban said. So those things are always evaluated.?Earlier this week, Saban said Kiffin is absolutely ready to be a head coach again.The Crimson Tide head coach praised Kiffins ability to mold his offensive systems around his Alabama players during his three years with the Tide, despite working with three different starting quarterbacks. Kiffin was able to help Alabamas offense evolve from its normal run-first, pro-style and play-action attack to a more spread look that has featured a lot more zone-read in 2016.Those are signs of tremendous maturity as a coach who is not just committed to a system but is committed to doing things that he has to help players be successful, Saban said. I think hes proven when he was a head coach he had a reasonably good amount of success -- much more than I think he gets credit for -- and hes done a phenomenal job in the three years hes been with us.Kiffin previously served as USCs head coach for three years, compiling a 28-15 mark before he was unceremoniously fired in September 2013 after a 3-2 start. He also went 7-6 during his only year as the Tennessee Volunteers head coach in 2009.

Gary Player is No. 2 on the list at 62 years, 9 months, 22 days in the 1998 Northville Long Island Classic.I dont know whats gotten into me other than -- and Ive always said the ball doesnt know how old you are or what your name is or anything like that -- if you hit a good shot, it goes right down the middle and on the green and in the hole, Haas said. So, Im not trying to think about being old or anything like that. I feel good, I feel positive with my swing. Im not doing it with smoke and mirrors.He missed a chance to shoot his age when his eagle try to 18 stopped short.I knew that, yeah, Haas said. It was great to even have an opportunity to do that. Obviously, when I was over the putt, I did not think that.The 2007 winner at Newport Beach Country Club, Haas has played 36 holes without a bogey. He shot a 64 on Friday for a share of the first-round lead with Billy Mayfair.I was feeling solid on the greens and so I was somewhat aggressive and had some nice chances to even get lower, but obviously I made some nice putts, too, Haas said. Maybe probably 18 feet at No. 4 and then probably 25 feet at No. 5. Those two were not stealing, but you dont expect to make those a lot of times.Haas won the last of his 17 senior tittles in 2014.dddddddddddd.

He eagled the 15th and birdied 18.I fully expect any of these guys from behind to shoot 62 or 3 and Im going to have to keep playing hard as I can, Haas said. Hopefully, Ill have a chance coming down the last few holes.John Daly shot a 66 to top the group at 9 under. After birdieing the final five holes Friday in a 67, Daly opened birdie-birdie-eagle. He bogeyed the par-3 eighth and birdied the two late par 5s, playing through a left shoulder injury.Basically, one-handed the last six holes, Daly said. Hopefully, get some ice on it and get the swelling down.Daly is making his 14th senior start since turning 50 in April.
