Lane Kiffin, former University of Southern California Trojans football coach, and his wife Layla have just sold their 7,308-square-foot gated Manhattan Beach home for $6.5 million, reports Realtor.com.
Incidentally, Oklahoma Sooners' head coach Bob Stoops recently succeeded in disposing of his 6,156-square-foot estate in Norman, Okla. two years after it was first put on the market recently.
Built in 2002 in contemporary Craftsman-style and updated several times, Kiffin's property sits on a half-acre lot located at the end of a closed street, providing adequate privacy. The home features six bedrooms and seven bathrooms with vaulted ceilings and an array of windows. The master suite has a private sitting area, walk-in closets, a spa room and an attached bath with steam shower.
In addition to a stone fireplace, the home also includes a country kitchen furnished with a center island, the latest appliances and a breakfast nook.
On the outside, the property features an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, saltwater swimming pool and spa, guest house and three-car garage.
According to Realtor.com, the Manhattan Beach home was listed in December for about $7 million with a pending sale offer in February.
Kiffin acquired the house for $5.5 million in June 2012 with a $500,000 loan from his former employer. The sale makes up some of the losses incurred by Kiffin when he sold his El Segundo townhouse for $737,500 in January. He purchased this property for $825,000 in 2006 and originally listed it for $745,000.
Kiffin was unceremoniously removed from his position at USC after the team suffered a miserable defeat to Arizona State in September. Without a job, Kiffin was quick to list his two homes in Manhattan Beach and El Segundo; however, he has since signed a three-year contract with the University of Alabama to serve as the offensive coordinator for head coach Nick Saban.
In the past, 38-year-old Kiffin served as the head coach at the University of Tennessee and trained the Oakland Raiders in their NFL campaign.
