Rumors are swirling on social media about Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin, claiming that he slept with either a booster’s wife or head coach Nick Saban’s daughter, Kristen. The rumors have not been confirmed and it is not clear where the stories started, but they have become widespread on social media and elsewhere on the internet.

The rumors claim Kiffin is alsoplanning to resign from the coaching staff. Josh Maxson, the director of communications for Alabama football, told TMZ Sports that Kiffin hasn’t resigned or been fired, and that he won’t comment on “stupid” or “crazy” rumors.

Kiffin, 40, joined Saban’s staff last season after he was fired from the head coaching job at the University of Southern California in 2013. Kiffin is married and has three children.

The booster and his wife have not been named in any of the rumors. Kristen Saban married childhood friend Adam Setas in May.

The rumors appear to have started Wednesday night and spread Thursday morning:
