re: Buccees Mascot Coaching Edition (Former Jet Tracking)

He won the Big 10. He always has Top 10 recruiting classes. Won 9 games at Vandy a few times. VANDY.

Lane has never won a major conference championship

James Franklin is solidly average.

Anyone thinking there's a big name (Dabo, Urban, Day) coming prepare to be disappointed. Bob Stoops' old arse is the "biggest" name to these guys. Best we can hope for is Freeze. I question his ability to recruit in the South now after his affinity for hookers came to light

I think Lane is our best choice just because if we gave him a defense and Nil then we would be fine. I was speaking then to the sudden lack of appetite and bad optics of giving some fat contract to Lane that he didn’t deserve after hastily buying out Harsin.

Hugh can coach but he also loses inexplicable games and his message to momma was neutered, and he will have his hands full merely trying to get much of the fanbase to buy into him.

Brian Johnson can recruit, and he can coach quarterbacks. Apparently he had recruiting networks in Florida. He is doing wonders with Hurts now, and Trask then Maybe Prescott too? He also beat Saban as Utah’s starting QB.
Maybe he can be our Kiffin?

Read this article with an open mind.

Instead of just contemplating Freeze or Kiffin or some other retread, I can easily see Cohen going this route.

Comes in to see what’s happening




Nope

Seems like a legit candidate. Its a plus hes been in he sec and has connections with recruiting in the area

Yes

I may be crazy but I’m still team prime if we don’t get lane. There is no one else out there that could recruit how he could. I do wonder what type of staff he could put together… I could see some high profile coordinators not wanting to come and be under him because he will get all the credit in the media. But I still think whoever hires him will strike immediate gold at the P5 level

Isn’t he coaching XFL? Or did he back out?

At this point the most consistently mentioned (since last year) and obvious name wins out - Hugh Freeze. Still want and hope for Kiffin.

Like I said several pages back, alot of what has been said throughout the process was from the media and "insiders" and not anything official. So we never truly knew Kiffin was #1. We heard he was but if there was someone ahead of him (not just a dream candidate or him falling from losing to Arky and State) then they may have been the one negotiating and we were waiting on. Plus it would make sense for Kiffin holding out on signing with OM. Maybe he is still hoping and waiting to sign just in case or feels he has a slim shot but does not like his chances.

I know it not the popular choice but with Kiffin acting out and telling everyone he's staying (still hearsay other that the post-game comment), it is the only reason for him to hold out on signing with OM. Unless he thinks someone else might open for him and he really wants to be at a better school.

I was thinking he backed out of the XFL pretty quickly. Apparently he is still in the XFL- and happy to avoid NIL and the transfer portal.
