re: Anyone think the players stay to play for Kiffin and TRob ?

Tattoo - No, you continue to try to criticize the hiring of DeBoer

That is flat out false. Please read my post from THIS thread below.

FWBFLlaw But you act like DeBoer didn’t try to retain TRob.

Yeah, TRob didn't click with a guy from Dakota, shocker. I guarantee you however TRob and Lane Kiffin probably would make fast friends. So it's not as simple as "we tried to get him." It's who we tried to get him to work for.


The point is kids dont make logical decisions. They like bling, swag, and familiarity. Kiffin and TRob represent that.

However, I've literally posted IN THIS THREAD that it's likely DeBoer could end up being the better coach, but will it be worth the amount of damage in the short term ? It's not like Kiffin is a bad coach so I'm not sure how to figure which would have played out best thus the question put forth the forum.

My post from this exact thread fellas:

It's pretty clear some of them were not comfortable playing for someone they did not know, and decided to go play at places where they had been previously recruited and had relationships in place - and also more money clearly.

I simply think Bama + Kiffin would have caused a real wave of optimism among YOUNG DUMB KIDS.

Every adult in the room likes DeBear more; meanwhile most kids probably like Kiffin and TRob more.

Meanwhile DeBear is clearly the more polished, buttoned down, professional of the two, and he may very well be the long term answer that makes this process worth the upheaval.
