Don't like the topic KICK ROCKS


If I avoided every thread where you bring up Kiffin, I’d be left with just the gymnastics thread.

Would Kiffin have done well here? Maybe, but his terrible record against good P5 teams says otherwise. And it’s hard for me to believe he would have kept all our best players when arguably Ole Miss’ best player just transferred out of there this cycle.

Cmon man, honesty is a great virtue.

This is the only thread I've got going today friend so you've got plenty of other topics to choose from.

Why does everyone need to shite on Kiffin to feel better about DeBoer ? They were both good options.

Kiffin coached circles around James Franklin, and did a hell of a job this year. His only losses were to Bama and UGA... at Ole Miss. He's a great coach. ??

I have no animus at all toward Kiffin, although I repeat there is zero chance of him ever being our coach regardless of what fans might want. He’s a hell of a coach. I’ll repeat what I said when his name was mentioned as a candidate. There are enormous potential upsides to him as coach, but there also are enormous potential downsides. Anyone interested in him has to gauge whether the upsides outweigh the downsides.

Because you’re comparing them in this thread as you’ve done over and over.

Penn State had significant opt outs in that game. But hey Lane should take big wins any way they come.

That win brought up him to a whopping 6-25 against opponents that finished in the top 25.

You know you have a great coach when he wins less than a fifth of his games against good opponents.

This thread wasn't a comparison- the direct question was would all these players be leaving if we had made a name recognition hire ?

They know Kiffin, they don't know DeBoer.

I think it's an interesting topic. Do kids today want the best coach, or the coach they like ?

Deion fricken Sanders is pulling kids to Colorado, and they don't win shite. They just wanna play for Deion.

I think Kiffin at Bama would have been similar and the best of both.

It's just conversation though. Don't get defensive or irritated about it. This is just football. Peace be with you.
