re: Kiffin is THE obvious successor

Exactly.

Kiffin is a college coach now. Every fanbase secretly loves to hate him.

Hes such a perfect fit.
His ego would make him bullet proof to the pressure of replacing Saban.

Recruits would be banging at the doors to get in.

The only knock on Bama during Saban was what ? "No fun."

Something tells me Kiffin is a fun coach to play for.

This is such an obvious hire that im getting really worried Byrne is going to overthink this.

I mean Kiffin has Ole Miss nationally relevant in just a couple years, and just coached circles around James Franklin.

If you watched the game Kiffins team didnt just win, Kiffin coached circles around James.

This is a no-brainer slam dunk - just get it done hire.
