Lane Kiffin wanted to learn more about the Dave Clawson system.
From a Sports Illustrated article on the Jeff Long firing:
“The Athletic's CJ Moore reports former Kansas basketball star and coaching assistant Danny Manning is interested in the school's now-open AD position.”

Well, I’m interested in the school’s now-open AD position, too.
Minnesota hires Ben Johnson as it next coach. If you are asking "who is Ben Johnson", you aren't the only one. He was an assistant at Xavier and previously served as an assistant at Minnesota and N. Iowa. Underwhelming.
Apparently, Johnson has a good rep as a recruiter, and the thought is that he will be able to keep the talent in-state which has been a big problem for the Gophers. Jalen Suggs to Gonzaga being a recent example.
