| Everyone keeps talkin about how poorly he did in Oakland, what about the 49 pts. a game he put up as OC at USC?? Thats pretty impressive, not to mention he is a great recruiter! We should do very well recruiting along the West Coast. IMO | |

I will say that if Urban takes the job he won't be as successful as he was at UF. As soon as you strip them of their NBC contract they'll become just like everyone else, just wait. | |

Second, its nearly impossible to win under AL Davis.
Third, look at the team he inherited.
Dumbass, AL Davis, drafted Jamarcus Russell who I knew from the start wouldn't cut it in the NFL.
Oakland hasn't had any success at all since John Gruden left for Tampa Bay, and they will continue to not have succes for a very long time.
In summary, it was to big of a job for Kiffin to handle at that time. | |

Monte Kiffin is an excellent DC. But he's what, 87 years old? | |

Recruiting wise, they're on pace to have their fourth straight top 10 recruiting class. | |
