Coach O or Lane Kiffin?

All of this talk about Lane Kiffin going to LSU, but really he should be head coach and not the offensive coordinator. So, I must ask, Who is the better head coach?
Coach O has yet to have a winning season as the head coach.
Lane Kiffin has had 4 winning seasons and has yet to have a losing season as head coach.
Lane Kiffin by a cajun mile, yaw baw. Why didn't yaw hire Lane?

Look at their respective records as HC. Look at their ability to effectively communicate. Look at which would create a greater national buzz. By any reasonable measure, Kiffin is the better option for HC than O is/was. The ONLY reason O was hired is b/c of where he's from.

I mean, I know Coach O is their Ron Zook...
He'll keep the program afloat going 8-4 each season, all the while bringing in decent recruits.
After 3 seasons, when his full classes are there, he gets the boot and insert an up and coming coach who can win. Boom.
Unfortunately for LSU, they'll just have to suffer through these next few years.

Honestly, I'd be horrified if either were hired as Bama's head coach.

You assume they'll be smart enough to do this. They weren't smart enough this time. They could have hired any number of candidates who would have been better THIS time, but didn't. They could have had Taggart, Rhule, Fleck, Brohm, etc. If LSU - a top 10 program right now - calls those guys and offers any of them $4.5M they'd fight each other in a cage for the right to say yes to that job. The fact that LSU didn't hire someone other than O should give you zero confidence that this admin will make the right hire next time. (I say that as a Bama fan who watch us go from a National Championship coach in Stallings, to a d-line coach in DuBose, then to Fran, then to Price, then to Shula...It took 4 bad hires before Moore finally realized the last hire would be his legacy and he wouldn't do anything other than hire a legit homerun)

That's what I am saying though. This hire is so similar to what we did hiring Ron Zook. We knew we weren't going to get great seasons out of him, but he could recruit. Now, where they go next is very important obviously. If Alleva is AD in 3 years, they'll most certainly frick it up and wind up in the endless down spiral just like Tennessee has.

It's sad I have to agree with Bama fans, but that's spot on

Most rational LSU fans are going to tell you that it should be Kiffin, not even close. Personally I think Kiffin would dominate at LSU

Yep. And it's sounding like Lincoln Riley may beat out Kiffin for the UH HC job, that USF will hire Kiffin as HC, and that LSU will then hire Helfrich as OC.

I don't think you understand how that game works.
You can't see what's behind the doors before you pick them. But in coaching hires you can still see what all the options are... well Allegra can't but everyone else can.

O's record as a head coach is hilariously bad, even for Ole Miss. Lane Kiffin has a winning overall record.
O's record as an interim coach doesn't mean jack, because he stayed out of the way and let his assistants coach players recruited by others.
We hired him, and didn't even have a real coaching search (even though we said we were) because our AD is brain dead and cheap.

They knew before hand the pro's and con's of each candidate they were considering. Hell, they fired Miles and had 2 full months to evaluate the coaching landscape so that they could make an educated decision on the best possible man to head that program.
They "chose" CEO with their eyes wide open ~ they knew what was behind that door and they willingly chose it.
