Kiffin coaching Senior Bowl (1 Viewer)

Seems like it would be a nice bonus to coach the prospects for this game.

Kiffin already knows a lot of these guys from his recruiting days. His draft last year seemed to go pretty well obviously still depending on how Jamarcus ultimately pans out. But R2 TE Miller, R5 DE Richardson and R6 FB Oneal look like solid starters going forward and R4 RB Bush, R3 OT Williams, R3 WR Higgins have potential to still develop too.

Another year of high draft picks and coaching the Senior Bowl could do wonders for this roster rebuild.

Plus there is plenty of cap space for a high profile FA like a Jared Allen.

<hijack> Do we know how much cap room the Raiders will have next year? </hijack>

This seems like a great opportunity for Kiffin to scout the talent in the draft pool, I hope this remains to be true.

Is this official or speculation?

It's speculation right now, but I thought that the coaches from the worst teams in each conference are annually given first crack at coaching the senior bowl. I'm not sure of this convention, but if true, the Raiders would be next in line after the Dolphins.

Here is a link to a news story that validates the phins not getting to coach the Senior Bowl (posted 1/2 hour ago).

Here is the relevant quote:

Ireland did not have a timetable for hiring a new coach. By firing Cameron now, the Dolphins will give up their chance to have their staff coach in the Senior Bowl at the end of this month.
