Do you think that might have been due to scholarship reductions and transfers the previous two years?


It could have been. The squad he had in 2012 was definitely better than 7–6, though. I think they pulled the trigger a little prematurely. There was definitely no reason to fire him in such a dramatic and immature fashion. I'm glad Sark embarrassed them later.

Glad I could refresh your memory. You had that ridiculous comment about Kiffin leaving Bama on good terms. You might wanna go back and edit now so you don't embarrass yourself.

Ken Hatfield sniffs in their general direction. In 6 years at Arkansas, he went 55-17.

Understand.....and Then it was decided thst him working for FAU was a distraction and that arrangement was ended....but he was never fired.


He was just relieved of his coaching duties sooner than expected.

Does that sound like leaving on good terms to you? Because that's what the discussion is about.

1. Take new job
2. Look at Zillow online
3. Get fired from old job

He had accepted the job. He was still working for Alabama. Not sure why this is so hard.

Of course, he'd never do that to us, right?

With Kiffin I would say it's more like all risk, no reward. Can you guys please explain what you are seeing that is making this guy so attractive to so many of you? All I see is 1 good year at FAU.

If he does well here he'd be gone in 2 years. If he flops, we're stuck with a petulant child for a coach. He's Petrino without the wins.

Lane has the talent. I'm just not sure about the work ethic. 90% of the time you need both.

If he brought Kendell Bryles (sp?) with him, hire him yesterday.

Go look up Kiffen's interviews recently with ESPN and Clay Travis.

His reply's on several things might change some perspective.

I would love to give Lane the job!

I mean we are Arkansas, all we can do is dream. If some segment of the interwebz says something is true then it must be but yes in reality she's not that hot.

Here's the busted coverage article with pictures of who is and isn't Kristen Saban. LINK
