You don't happen know about a house off Cedar Bluff Road with a camper in the driveway decked out like a billboard for Penn State? I drove by my childhood home last Thanksgiving and saw this house all decked out with Penn State.

I live in Erie, PA. Houses decked out in Penn State gear are a dime a dozen here

Keep Steele as IHC for next season with Chaney as OC. Then go after Kiffin. Removes the stink of him potentially staying only a year at Ole Miss and gets us a year further away from NCAA stink. Jmo, so tifwiw.

Kiffin to the hill would melt this board, along with all the other SEC internet boards. It would truly be glorious.

Maturity has nothing to do with it. Say you took a job. Then a year later another opportunity in a better city, more money, better company and it’s somewhere you would enjoy. How would taking that opportunity be immature?

Agreed taking the job wasn’t immature but surely you agree the way he did it was immature. It really shouldn’t matter though. That was more than a decade ago.

Kiffin is a decent coach, not great imo, but I say screw the one year thing. If we’re going after him the sooner the better.

Maturity has everything to do with it. If I'm a company and a promising employee left shortly after I hired him for greener pastures; then I hear he got another even better job but he wants to immediately leave it to come back to my company, I'm not hiring the guy. He'll could bounce at any time. I'd rather have a better chance at stability. Especially with what our "company" has been through over the past 15 years or so.

I do agree on some level but this is also a super nomadic industry where coaching changes are the accepted norm.

So you make him prove his loyalty. Don't sign him to a lucrative contract right up front. I never understood these contracts anyway. An example is CPF giving Pruitt an extension when he did... that was just dumb. Give him an incentive to come here with better pay/bennies down the road if he stays and wins.

I would be fine with that, but why would he leave Ole Miss where he was the money and support for a job where he has to prove it or get nothing? I think he's happy where he is. Tennessee is a better job normally, but with NCAA problems and the wreck our program has become, I see very little incentive for him to come here and not get a long, lucrative contract.

I think that is the real question. Is UT a better job in the long run? I honestly don't know anymore, (don't think so really) but if it is I would think any coach would leave that situation. If he is truly happy, then I am happy for him, but do you see Ole Miss being anything much better than number 4 (barring a freak year) in that division in his lifetime?

And-hire the man who is so much better than Kiffin that it’s obvious to everyone, and also has no buyout. Other than the fact that Kiffin is a far inferior coach, then sure. Hire away. But if the adults are talking, we will look on the opposite side of the equator.

Are you really trying to tell me thAt Kiffin is a better coach than than Bobby Petrino? Do you really want to go on record in front of your friends and family with that as your final answer? We aren’t talking about coed interest here, as that is a conversation for the rumor mill to fight to the death over. But straight up head coach-Petrino or Kiffin? You hire Petrino 1001% of the time or you are an idiot.

WHY does KIffins name keep coming up?

Look, he just finished first year at Ole Miss. He just got his chance to be back in the SEC as a head man. Has a great situation down there.

Maybe in 7 -10 years it will be a possibilty but we would trust him even less than we do already if he bolted from Ole Miss after 1 year. (LIKE HE DID US ALREADY )
Kiffin is an outstanding coach THAT IS NOT AN OPTION FOR UT.

Enough already...
