re: Why it needs to be Lane... or...

And if Leach doesn't work out you are left with an Air Raid Offense full of WRs but lacking running backs and TEs.

I gotta hand to you, Rev. You have the ability to research and think out of the box with good football knowledge.

However, the hiring of Lane Kiffen (IMO) will be a tragic mistake for U of A football.

Why? He left 'Tenner' after only 14 months. I know there is a reason he walked home after his auto accident versus staying near waiting for towing assistance.

Why? He was fired at LAX who denied him a ride back to campus on bus with his bags. Not a class act for USC but he was not such a class act either coaching the Trojans. IMO

Why? His recruiting tactics are questionable in a court of law. Where the case was dismissed BUT not on grounds the charges were untrue. To lure a 4 star athlete he promised the staris good and close friend a job he renigged on after the signing and persuasion of the Plaintiff. Supposedly because the Plaintiff had 2 misdemeanor infractions to his record Kiffen did not know about. In short, not a man of his word.

Why? There is much more to this young coach's ambitions and limitations than meets the eye. He is best to be an assistant and not a leader in my opinion.

Sorry to say but I know well Lane's type of personality. (I believe to apologize if wrong) but he is suspected with a major flaw I had for many years with alcohol. He must be vetted extensively in that aspect.

he did not leave in disgrace

I guess I could and should omit that harsh statement. However, he knew and TN folk knew, as I know he did not walk home after wrecking his automobile to save money on a cab ride. Hello?

Tsk Tsk Rev., you know better. It's a good thing for you to insert PART OF and not author of.

As you recall, Cam Newton and ? Dryer (LR Central) were players for Gene Chizik (sp) NOT Gus.

Granted Gus granted Dryer great favors for his shortfalls. This young man was an attempt to salvage his lost soul from a childhood of synthetic drugs his prostitute mother taught him to mfg. He easily aligned himself with thugs like that of his deprived youth in LR. You know the story of guns, speeding arrest, and such. Gus whom I admire for his interest in this superb athlete's soul and citizenship tried his best to help in various avenues.

As for Cam, we both know as the sports nation know Auburn was not found in fault of an extensive investigation that stemmed from his father's request to MSU of 6 figures payment. Auburn got him under Gene Chicaik and NOT Gus. Even at that Gene was not found guilty of that heavily and extensively investigated but HIGHLY speculated as perhaps you've done.

I do not know Gus. I understand from another board of your postings that you do. So, I concede you knowing much more of him of dislike than I. However, the portion you've alleged is not exactly accurate ya know.

Gus may well be a spiritual hypocrite and certainly a great distaste to a 'man in cloth' but to task he is assigned has no measure for the soul or it's destiny. Get my drift?

You're a good man in love with the Hogs. I am too. BUT, we differ in the analogy of what it takes to make he U Of A football competitive in the SEC.

I don't see what everyone else does in this guy. It seems like he'd be here five years at most, even if he was doing well. He went 10–2 one year at USC, and he's 9–3 right now at FAU. Every other year as a coach he's sucked or been mediocre.

I get a very Will Muschamp feeling about him.
