No thank you on Lanning!

Give that guy a couple more years of seasoning and I think he is top of the list.

I'll take Kiffin over Lanning.

Kiffin will go for it on 4th down at the fifty on national TV if he feels like that's what he has to do to win. In other words he isn't scared to be second guessed, or what people will say about him. He will do exactly what he thinks has to be done to win - that takes balls. A lot of people fear the kind of second guessing that comes with that, but Kiffin is more of a DGAF kind of guy that calls his own shots.

He comes from the Saban tree, but Kiff was HC of the Raiders when he was 30 years old, and his father was a defensive minded legend. When you think about it there is no other guy that has the pedigree or the ego to attempt to replace Saban.

I think as the trips to the bars and behavior of youth fade away, and all that is left is football for a guy like Kiffin you're looking at a coach that is poised to come into his own.

I think the crowd at Kiffins first Media days as Bamas head coach would send a clear message to the entire league and recruits as Kiffin would instantly be more polarizing than any coach in the league. The media can't get enough Kiffin. It would be comical to see how much more exposure he would get than Sark or Kirby.

I think Kiff is a day 1 keep the train rolling hire assuming he has the right coaches around him. I think he also continues the tradition of the highest profile coach being at Bama which we all have grown accustomed to, and that would burn texas and mUlliGAn fans asses up.

Well, let’s hope we’re not already looking for another coach in a couple of years.
