I agree. We should focus in on Saban, Kirby, Dabo, and Day. We will offer $6mill/yr and unlimited Doritos.
People are literally just sold on him because he can run the ball on all the bad defenses in the SEC and trying to avoid the rest. The simple fact that LSU (not a great team) destroyed his team and he slid by awful teams like Vandy and this Auburn team should be enough to see he isn't great. Harsin played him close and played LSU closer and everyone was ready to run him down the road with pitchforks.
Either way we won't know til the end of the season but I think after Bama and possibly State people won't be as hot on him. Plus I think he is just a name they are using to distract while they go after who they want. Bo wants Sanders and the media is about equallly split between Kiffin, Sanders, and Freeze. There are others sprinkled in.

The simple fact he is talking up Deion is because he isn't scared of him being at Auburn.

The beat down of the LSU game them is proof enough of a true Kiffin team. He hasn't end a career anywhere on a good note.

His best win last year was a 4 loss Arkansas team that finish 19th. He lost to Bama and Harsin by double digits. This year's his best win is a 5-3 Kentucky team and lost to the only ranked team (as of now) he's played and not likely beating Bama. That's not great.

lots of people want Kiffin but I don't think he's worth 7.5 to 8 Million a year when he can't beat the teams that matter. He only has Bama and a Bowl game left on the schedule and I don't see him beating Bama. That will leave Kentucky as his best win and that can't be ignored. He will also have to play UGA and not Vandy every year.
This is a startling lack of nuance. Why, in theory, do you think Lane would make the jump to Auburn from already being at an SEC west school to begin with? Could it be that he thinks he can thrive with the resources from being at a school like Auburn compared to being at Ole Miss?

No one knows anything, including you. You can speculate just like everyone else based on prior history, experience (or lack thereof) and many other factors. None of that matters because you have nothing to do with the hire. I'll just assume you want to talk down the coaches who are not your choice so you'll have a talk track later on. "See? I told you this guy was a bum!" Welcome to the internet in 1998.
If Cohen actually does use some sort of analytics to determine success, I view that as a positive and another good data point. I'm just glad its not solely based on how someone interviews. AU will make a good, informed hire. Some will like it and some will bitch about it and say 'I told you so' when he doesn't win 12+ games a year.

Who is on your list of options? You’re anti Kiff and anti Prime so I’m curious to hear. My apologies if you’ve stated before, these threads are tough to follow.

I always felt like Lane Kiffin would troll his Dad, at his grandma's funeral...
This newfound professionalism has me excited. Of course, I could be grasping at straws, praying they get this hire right....

Last year alone, Arkansas, return to Neyland, A&M were all big wins. Those are games Ole Miss historically doesn’t win and definitely were “big games”

Freeze
Urban (I don't see it though)
Prime
Kiffin
Until the top 2 are off the table completely then I would just have the rest as gambles. Neither Prime or Kiffin fits what people are asking for. They are just looking over the bad to force them into being good hires without looking at why we fired the last 2 coaches. Prime is a gble from never being at P5 schools but if he could recruit at the high level I think and halfway coach then he might would work. Kiffin has just been average everywhere he has been and why they all sent him packing. People just want to ignore that.
Both can recruit, coach up lesser players, win big games, proven in the SEC, and won everywhere they have been.

Lane is doing at Ole Miss what Freeze did but he’s doing it faster and better and without keeping the Rebel Hooker Ring alive for recruiting purposes

Freeze is a shitebag and urban is as well. Auburn will do the most Auburn thing ever by hiring either of these idiots

If Kiffin ever decides to get serious about defense his teams are going to be a juggernaut.
That said, if he comes to Auburn he can afford to recruit on both sides of the ball.

Kiffin with a muschamp defense might be cool to watch

The same people running around saying claiming not to hire Bruce Pearl because he was tainted are now cheering him on.
