Would Kiffin thrive under any SEC coach other than Saban?

Depends on if that team has about 12 All pros on the defensive 2 deep.

Well they could if they offered him the head coaching job. Kiffen will not leave Bama for an assistant coaching job.

Coaching has never been his issue.

Yep, they've talked themselves into this rainbowland fairytale where Coawch Oeaux leads L5u to win out, including he CFPO, HE is hired full time, Aranda stays as DC and they hire Kiffin from Bama. But if Emmsfunger is the OC through the entire run why in world wouldn't they want him to stay?

Damn good question!

He has been a good OC at other places so I would say probably so.

I think he could. But it would have to be a coach that he admires. Otherwise, I think he'd could cause chemistry issues. It could just be judginghim by his face, but kiffin has a weaselly look. I could see him undermining a coach he didn't respect tremendously.

So maybe.

Kiffin is an arrogant jerk. When he was the HC at UT he insulted every SEC HC (including urban meyer) except Saban (because he obviously respected him). There's no way he's leaving for anything but a HC job.

He probably wouldn't.

His next stop will be a head coach gig. He won't risk another asst job at another school and kill his career momentum.

He'd be decent but he nobody would be praising him as an offensive mastermind. Certainly there would be no discussion about him getting a 4th head coaching job.

If Kirby Smart didn't serve under Saban nobody would have considered him a defensive mastermind either.

There is no way he'd be an assistant to someone he views as his lesser. He has too much ego, plus why make a lateral move? That would just open the door for Sark to surpass him here too.
