And he loves his kids. I understand he visits every one of his ex-recruits on visiting day at least once a quarter.

For a guy who has never been better than mediocre at any major job he's ever had he sure does have a bunch of people slobbering all over him.

I remember being medicore and complaining about it. But now we get beat by georgia state. And kentucky 34-7. Now they talk about us upsetting vandy. What it would be like to be mediocre again.

Remember this... Kiffin was 32 years old when took over the program.

How many 32 year olds do you that can handle coaching a College Football team, esp one at our level?

I'm 36 and know I couldn't at that age.

Kiffin is in his 40's now and is more mature and wiser.

I'd absolutely give him a a chance.

There is a particular class of boosters where one member of that club will donate 10 times more than what 100 of us combined do in any given year and then some. There are at least a half dozen of these types that would close their checkbooks cold to the university if he were to ever come back here. They have generational investments in this school, and they aren’t the type to just forgive and forget. They don’t need him and they know it. We love the football team, but they love this school in a completely different way, and it is heart attack serious. See Pelosi VS Trump for reference. He is a piss ant in the scheme of things compared to Fulmer, and they are the reason he is no longer in the corner office. In no particular order, this is one of the two dozen reasons that Kiffin will not coach here again.

Those same people you speak of are a big part of the problem too. They put money in like they are “buying” a coach not investing in the institution and their entitlement has totally screwed the inner working of this athletic department... but what do you do right?

It’s not. If we are being honest with ourselves, we all know Kiffin isn’t getting hired. Regardless of how many fans wants him.

Here at TN, we apparently have to exude “integrity”.

Yeah...turns out our most recent coach was the model of integrity. But how could he be? They can't even spell that word in Alabama.

I posted that somewhere. I saw where he was laughing, but it may be a prop to trick ole miss? Doubt it.
