Kiffin to LSU?

[NighthawkVol]

Why? Are you one of these fans who are scared of Lame?

I wouldn’t say I’m scared of him, but he would stabilize them. I’d rather they hire someone else who becomes a bust and they keep having to hire coaches every three or four years.

I know it doesn’t really affect Tennessee at this point because we are no longer playing them every year, but I just hate Florida and want them to suffer. Lol.

 

[Fightmaker]

I'd be pretty pissed if I was a player for Ole Miss being the backup date to the dance.

It's insulting for Kiffin to lead them on like this.

Haven’t you heard? He’s matured a lot.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Not sure if serious. Been the coach of the Raiders, Vols, and SC, all before the age of 35. Saban’s OC. Has job offers right now from LSU and Florida. Auburn offered him when they settled on Freeze. What are you talking about?

He for sure has proven you can be successful as a classless con-man. He is good at it. But what has he left in the wake of his departures at each stop? What kind of trust factor can you have?

I prefer the character counts leadership we have under DW. In fact only Pruitt and Tyndall could me to mind that wallowed in the character cesspool Kiffin resides in. Other issues for failure but not character driven.

 

[SubVet676]

All that has "changed" about Kiffin is that now he is a self-centered egotistical 50-year old brat who is sober and does yoga.

That zebra's still got them stripes. Some things cannot be washed off with an "image shower"...

 

[RandomUTfan]

Kiffin is viewed as a strong offensive coach and also a very good manager of the portal and NIL. Its no wonder he is a commodity.

Yes. Too bad Gainesville is a commode.

 

[SubVet676]

Just out of curiosity...I have no firm opinion here...where do y'all think Kiffin ends up? Seems like the OM AD has given Kiff a "deadline" of sorts. And of course you have LSU and UF trying to figure out...if they don't already know...what he does. Lotta balloons still up in the air.

I'm wrong a lot, but if he was planning to stay at OM, why not just say so? OM has apparently offered to match any other programs terms.

Knowing Kiffin's (lack of) character, I smell a stinker of a move here.

it’s actually better for Kiffin to drag LSU and Florida along for weeks if he is staying at Ole Miss. Those schools have an elongated coaching search just hurts them more. I fully endorse the idea.

Well, apparently that timeline ends the day after the Egg Bowl, so...

 

[Vols till I fall]

I have a buddy who works pretty high in the sports industry and he says it can go both ways, it's hard to tell right now because Kiffin is a wild card. According to my friend, Kiffin is expected as of this moment to stay at ole Miss but this again is a very fluid situation. What reportedly is being played out by Kiffin and Co. is to be the highest paid coach in college football history and he's playing it crazy good considering this is a coach who got fired at USC and was left on the tarmac. He's not won a natty as a HC either and overall as everyone knows has character problems.

He's playing both sides, if Ole Miss doesn't give him what he wants, he will happily jeopardize Ole Miss's best season ever and WILL go to Baton Rouge. Either way, he's intentionally trying to destroy one of the two programs and at this point it's who is going to pay me enough to not leave you with 0 coaching options in a crazy coaching carasoul search

 

[Vols till I fall]

And if you think LSU and Ole Miss have it bad enough, you aren't listening to what's going in at Arkansas

If Arky fails to bring in Jon Sumrall, there next three options are the following:

2.) Brian Kelly
3.) Ed Orgeron
4.) Butch Jones

Jimmy Sexton is trying to get Butch a bigger gig this coming year with all the changes going on. There have been some real rummings between both Jones and Arky behind the scenes

There is zero chance Botch will land the Arkansas gig.

Their fanbase would revolt.

Perhaps not Schiano Sunday, but close to it

No AD with 2 brain cells would ever even attempt that hire.

It's a non starter.

It's a real possibility if they strike out on the previous candidates which I mentioned earlier which is not supposed to be the case.

Sumrall is very likely to take that job and of course Kelly needs employment and I think he would do well at Arky. Heck, I though he did alright, not great but okay at LSU. Him and Hype almost have the same record

But yes, Jones is the "slam dunk" emergency hire

There’s a zero percent chance they hire Butch Jones or Brian Kelly. Also, Sumrall would take the Auburn job before he took the Arkansas job. They would keep Petrino before hiring Butch or Kelly.

Butch Jones will be lucky to hang on at Arky State. At this point in his career, his arc is downward, not upward.

You let Petrino walk in favor of Jones?

Trading baggage for worse baggage.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Has their ever been a coach whose general acclaim has been further divorced from his accomplishments than Kiffin?

Having a big mouth counts for a lot in this society.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Well, apparently that timeline ends the day after the Egg Bowl, so...

The AD's timeline ends then but that's not necessarily Jimmy Sexton and Lane Kiffin's timeline.

Kiffin can just say, "As of now I'm at Ole Miss" and not sign the extension. What's the AD going to do? Tell him he's dismissed before the playoffs because he won't commit?

Regardless of the AD saying there will be an announcement, Kiffin still holds all the cards.

My opinion on Lane Kiffin is a matter of record here. If he knocked on my front door with his head on fire, I wouldn't pee on his head to help him out.

I'm glad UT...this time...is not part of the drama show he drags around CFB.

there is an old adage in the recovery world that’s says “what do you have if you sober up a horse thief?”…. This fits Kiffin to a T

No.

Whoever filled your head with that was having a go with you. I know of no other way to put it

There is a very real possibility that Ark St has seen their fill of Botch and lets him go. Their fanbase is as fed up with his garbage as we were.

In no universe does he end up as HC at Arkansas though

You might as well get that notion out of your head right now.

I'm not gonna tempt fate like that FSU dude with the solo cup of dog crap, but I am that level sure that Botch will not be the HC at Arkansas

Kiffin has underachieved for his potential. He's stepped on his...... ego..... several times in his career and it won't break my heart if he does it again.

He's done well at Ole Miss IMO because for once in his life he thought of someone else, his daughter and family, instead of himself.

I've zero faith he'll not revert back to being selfish. Zero.

Brian Kelly is 64yo and just fell into about $50M dollars and he probably wasn't hurting before.

He does not need employment.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

It’s a tabloid rag, but the Kiffin to LSU thing is gaining traction and there seems to be a lot of smoke:

Lane Kiffin 'set to quit Ole Miss' in $90 million move to become new LSU coach

LANE KIFFIN is poised to walk out on Ole Miss in a stunning $90million SEC shake-up. Reports are that the LSU are ready to make him the new king of Baton Rouge just weeks after axing Brian Kelly. T…

www.the-sun.com

 

[hUTch2002]

Kiffin didn’t force us to hire Dooley or Butch.

Had the admin and AD just completely turned the page and ripped the bandaid off 12-18 months after he left, we would have avoided the Dooley/Butch years.

They tried to be cute and cheap their way to be better and it crashed hard.

That may be the understatement of the year.

 

[hUTch2002]

This seems very dumb of you. You are starting to come across as a troll who can’t be taken seriously if you really can’t think of why Ohio State, Georgia, and even Bama didn’t have pre-written hires when the had their openings.

To start, Georgia was hiring Kirby and Kirby only. Ohio State left the hire to Urban and he was always going to hand it over to Day. Bama and Saban literally hired the best coach available who just took Washington to the Natty.

Conveniently, you left out Auburn but the 3 current schools all have openings. Auburn interest 2-3 years ago was real and thought to be a dumb deal.

Florida and LSU are now throwing out $90 million contracts while having to pay $25-50 million buyouts to Cheap hire (Napier) and panic hire (Kelly) they made when they had their last openings both of which happened when Lane was 15-8 after 2 seasons into taking Ole Miss at which was at rock bottom after the Matt Luke years.

A&M really focused in on Elko after the Stoops backlash.

You must be a casual college football watcher if you can’t understand why Kiffin is having multiple schools throwing out near 9 figure packages / investments to hire him or keep him.

This isn’t some conspiracy or rocket science.

I also think that a few years ago (pre-Saban) he still had a reputation that might’ve stopped big time schools from taking a chance. I don’t think many, if any, would have a reservation due to that now.

Correct. He was only 15-8 after 2 seasons at Ole Miss. even then, he for that program somewhat stable. Florida and LSU look like fools now. Kelly and Napier were safe hires lol. Now they are rabid fan bases demanding the world.
