I never saw him as a long-term thing. I want to think he was here to update/upgrade our offense and he has completed his mission.

Not only this, but the fact that he's willing to go to a low profile program and take a huge pay cut when there's at least one great paying and high profile OC position available shows just how badly Kiffin wanted to be a head coach.

Also, I don't know who gave him the advice (or if he decided it himself) to take this job over working for O but it was without a doubt the right choice. This latest round of missed chances really showed just how bad his reputation still is among administrators. If he ever wants to be in the big time again, he's got to show he can go solo. That's not going to happen at LSU - and if he took that job the second things went badly (and I think they will), he would be the first one to get slung under the bus.

Since when has any Bama OC been a long-term thing after Saban got here in '07? Applewhite for 1 year, McElwain for 4, Nuss for 2, and Kiffin for 3...I recall hearing McElwain joke earlier this year how he was the longest serving OC at Bama under Saban...

Whomever we get as OC, I seriously doubt he's here long-term either...
