Kiffin is the scorpion, and we're the frog.

Foolish to believe he'd be different a second time around.

And no one would have cared about said email.

Let's see, he signed the number one player in country in Bryce Brown and a top 5 class his one and only year at UT. He came a field goal away from beating the eventual national champs in Alabama. And a 4th down conversion away from beating UCLA, which would have put us at 9-3, after a 5-7 season the year before under Fulmer.

He is one of the best offensive minds in all of college football, and Nick Saban obviously agrees. He just won 11 games at Florida Atlantic in his first year and absolutely pummeled north Texas in the CUSA championship... they went 3-9 the previous year! Need I throw out more facts?

He's a wrecking ball alright?! You seen Layala??? Do you think he is having any problems getting... you know..:)?

Oakland- wrecked their team
UT- Wrecked our team (got involved with hostesses and recruiting violations)
USC- Wrecked the team so bad he wasn't given a ride to the airport
Bama- Wrecked his relationship with Saban by screwing his daughter, and wrecked his marriage.


And because he had a good season in FL suddenly he's cured of a lifetime of poor decisions?

Whats more likely? That the man has changed his stripes and is now a perfect paragon of virtue...

Or that he's a ticking time bomb and will eventually explode again?

I'd say the latter is far more likely given his pattern of behavior.

I agree that Kiffin is a very good offensive coach. However, I can not, at this time, forgive him for the way he left Tennessee on the midnight train to California. He slit our throat and left us to bleed out. We have been bleeding since he did his dirty deed. I don't want him back because I don't trust him.

Agree with post, but there are some fans that have battered wife syndrome and begging for him to come back.

Because he is Kiffin. He has to take his trip in the minor leagues and show that he has matured enough to run a program without problems for a few years. If you think he is going to retire at FAU then you are quite mistaken. The right opportunity, say in about 2 years and Kiffin will be at a big program and quickly become a massive headache for everyone else. Meanwhile, he is likely to keep lowly FAU in top 25.

Yeah, he has to take his trip to the minor leagues 'cause he screwed up bigtime coaching the big boys.

Time will tell whether he'll ever be a successful coach in a power 5 conference. Many guys go from O coord in a place like Alabama to a power 5 job. Not Kiffin. Schools still aren't sold on him and neither am I.

Because there is absolutely no question that Kiffin is an awesome offensive coach. What is in question is whether with an entire program at his disposal, can he keep his nose (and program) clean for a couple of years? Remains to be seen but that is what he has to prove to the P5. Thus the trip back to the minors. Good place for him though to "come into his own" - IF he is going to. I just dont want the SEC to be the conference he makes his comeback in. :thumbsup:
