Whelp, Kiffen has some traction now...

I hope your information is accurate here.

He would come in a heartbeat if offered methinks

Man, I would be thrilled with him.

I think his ego has taken enough lumps now that he may be matured. Grabbing him 5+ years ago would have been good for recruiting, but he wouldn't have been ready to win here.

I think he's done his time now and put in his dues to the point he knows he not a Golden boy anymore. Plus he can still recruit.

Dude, he is still fairly immature imho.

However, I have it on good authority that he has reached out to a BOT member via his agent.

And that he would love the chance to be in the SEC!


He has a thought out process of whom he wants on his staff and one is already at Arkansas, but only one.... not who most would think!

Rev, sometimes I swear we know the same group of people and are probably separated by less than 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon (perfect Razorback fan handle btw).

This is not one of those times. I can't get these dudes to talk about anyone other than Norvell or seldomly Leach. They may just personally like him as their favorite, but they're all in on riding the Norvell Chevelle. Norvell Nova? Norvell something.

Thank god. Him and Norvell would be the best possible hires. Makes sense too because HY tried to hire him at Houston.

Stepp

Though I don't see how you do not retain Lunney. He has great ties to the state. He has consistently created an NFL TE, and found a few gems for us outside of the state in the past.

The only random guess on who he wants that would be an out of the box person is the guy coaching Dtackles. The rest are bums, and I cant imagine he isnt either.

Stepp, lunney, and traylor are seriously the only ones even worth interviewing here, and idk how I truly feel about traylor.

love you Rev, and appreciate your inside info.

The Kiffin threads are extremely formulaic, wherein the apologists just tout the good and willfully ignore all of the bad. You'll see the same mealy-mouthed bullshite like "his time at Bama changed him!" which ignores the fact that he was fired a week before the CFP championship game, as well as "he was 11-2 at FAU" which ignores his 12-10 record since.

That's not even touching on him losing his locker room so badly at USC that the players were fighting in the dressing room at the Sun Bowl, or the atrocious attrition rate of his one heralded recruiting class at Tennessee.

And save me the bullshite about "it'd at least be fun!" We already had a (allegedly) functioning alcoholic who was a ferocious tweeter and trolled conference opponents in Bert. It wasn't fun.

Let's go get a real fricking football coach this time. We haven't had one since 2011.

EDIT — none of that was meant for you, Rev, just the first sentence. Love ya bud

The issue with Kiffin for me is usc. I know they were coming off sanctions but it really worries me that he had one of the top blue blood jobs in the country but couldn’t win there. And in an easy conference to boot. Hell all I heard yesterday was how sorry the pac 12 is and why hiring a coach who wins out there would be bad but now we want to go hire a coach who couldn’t even win there?

Angling for a raise at his current gig?
