I must say that it's a breath of fresh air to know that an executive can do their job at a prestigious university in this day and age without the national/local medias having a clue to what he is doing. I'm proud of Hammy for doing what he is doing, no matter if I agree with the hire or not.

Same for me - I don't see any realistic "home run" names out there, so I don't have a favorite guy. Hamilton built some equity with me with the Pearl hire (and yes, I know some say it was Grunfeld, either way MH's name is on the deal), so I'm more than happy to trust him on this one. I love that Hamilton is managing to keep the search pretty quiet, and I think it is a good sign.

Flying under the radar is great, unless you're in the mountains.....it can be dangerous too.

Kiffin isn't a home run name, but I think it will be a home run hire. We won't know for a few years, but I'm pretty confident he will be a success.

I don't see him going to another program, though he could take another stab at the NFL. If he does, we will have had great success and he would have been a great hire.

Wow. My feeling was that MH didn't have a freaking clue because too many names were being floated like trial ballons. I hope y'all are right.

Kiffin might be ok,....still don't want him,...but I hope to God he doesn't bring that dork Oregron onto our campus.

Just keep Chavis,..what the hell,...he is a ton better than Coach O,....and doesn't get naked.....

why is everyone so worried about our recruits? it's not like waiting two to three more weeks for the right coach is going to make or break the recruiting process. National signing day isn't until February 4th.

Why do you thing Chavis is better than Coach O?

I think the quiet so far is definitely good. No need for public announcement screw ups. Can not wait till it is over though.

Chavis can't hold O's jock when it comes to recruiting. As a DC, who knows? Orgeron is a great DL coach (as good as there is in the country). I just don't like Chavis's schemes (too passive). I guarantee O would be much more aggressive.

Wanted Chavis gone before sanders. O is an impact DC, wont put up with BS from players, recruiter de jour. Solid caller. I like him regardless of the new HC. I think Chief sees the writing on the wall. He will coach again somewhere. Hopefully it's in the SEC.

I hope your and many others faith in him is warrented, I really do. Because if he's announced as successor he'll have my hopes and support....even though I get the impression he's just a beneficiary of the approval of the west coast's version of the good ole boy network. He interviews on TV ok, he's slim and looks good on camera, he was on Carroll's staff a short tenure in various functions, and he apparently impressed Al Davis with his interview skills. That's about all I know of him, and yet many think he's a golden boy. Maybe he is and if he's hired is I certainly hope so, because we may just find out.

I think it's looking like it's going to be Kiffin a lot more than it will be Kelly at this point and everyone is rushing to give their 2 cents.

I say let's hire Kiffin, give the kid a shot........give him an all-star staff, and let's go get them recruits balls to the walls.......If he sucks, then we'll fire his arse in a few years, and bring in someone to coach up all his amazing recruits.......
