Yeah, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard...I love how he writes like he's the most knowledgable person in the whole search. BTW, he has no idea whether or not Washington's offered him or not. He's full of s#@t.

Poor Kiffinites :cray:

Every single word of this is true.

Kiffin has never accomplished anything as a head coach. All his rep comes from his time as Southern Cal's supposed offensive coordinator in 2005 and 2006, but USC didn't win the national titles in those years as it did the previous two seasons.

Also, play-calling was shared with quarterbacks coach Steve Sarkisian, with USC head coach Pete Carroll having veto power.

So just how brilliant is the boy wonder Kiffin? Consider that the University of Washington, a Pac-10 school, has an opening, and they haven't even given Kiffin, someone who knows the league, a sniff.

Kiffen is a good coach but not the best out there. I hope they stay hooked on Davis and give him what he wants

Im a Davis guy myself. But you kind of are reaching in some of your points.
1. Every HC has veto power
2. Most teams will accept more than one coach having play calling input if the OC is not the QB coach as they have a better feel for his play.

What I am going to love is if Kiffin succeeds. The Fulmerites will still hate Hammy for firing there leader. So it will just be an accident he picked Kiffin and not because he knows what he is doing.

It's not the firing, that will weigh on Hamilton..The hire is what will define his leadership of the Athletic Department
So he needs to get it right

Dont you know? Anyone who doesnt bow down to an unproven coach is a Fulmerite? But the question is what about those who wanted Fulmer canned but dont like Kiffin?

I'm not a Fulmerite, but I'm damn sure not a Kiffinite either.

Sticking Kiffin in the SEC's all-star lineup of coaches that includes four coaches who have won national championships (Nick Saban, Steve Spurrier, Les Miles, Urban Meyer) and another with an unbeaten season (Auburn's Tommy Tuberville) would be like tossing a goldfish into a pool of piranhas.

Someone needs to send this list to Mr. Higgins at the Commercial Appeal. ... It really is a sad state of affairs when it comes to some of the writers in this state. Here's the article in case you haven't seen it.

That story made me think of the "Real men of genius" radio beer ad "Mr. Sportstalk Radio Commentator Guy". I have given students Cs and Ds for less turgid prose. And while he manages to rehash and reword much of the already available anti-Kiffin material out there, the only new information he presents is that there is someone out there with so little self respect as to call another adult "Peytie Pie".

It appears the only real qualification to be a small- or mid-market sportswriter is a pulse and a chip on your shoulder. There's better journalism here.

All we can do at this point is make educated guesses. No one can be proven correct or incorrect until a hire is made and games are won or lost.

I have no coaching preference; if anything, I find the study of behavior here during the hiring process just as entertaining as the season will be next fall.
