Kiffin would be a home run and I pray that’s who we get. He has been my first pick for years for when this day finally came.

I don't understand why there seems to be no smoke around Kiffin? Good recruiter, good football mind...What did he do to piss of money people at Bama?

“What could you possibly do right if you don’t win the national championship every year?” Kiffin said. “‘You’re going to follow Nick Saban at Alabama?’ No, that would not be a good decision for anyone.”

“I followed two Hall of Fame coaches in Phillip Fulmer and Pete Carroll. Not smart. So, you see how USC ended. (Replacing Saban) would be the dumbest follow ever.”

Bama supposedly wants nothing to do with Kiffin. He must have double teamed the wrong mother and daughter while he was there

After Mike Price, there is no way Byrne is going to hire Joey Freshwater at the Capstone. Too many ifs.

Lane Kiffin has been a head coach for 14 seasons - 9 of those seasons were terrible for his team. The fact that anyone thinks he’s a good coach is hilarious.

Kiffin is a hell of a lot better coach than Big Game Brian.

He’s no Brian Kelly. That’s for sure.

Best way I can explain it is his whole persona is perfectly aligned with Auburn and what they look for in coaches. For better or for worse that type pisses off Alabama supporters.

Eta: just like with all programs, the number one goal is to win. If it was determined that he was the best man for that job obviously everyone would fall in line.

Well, they were probably only 12 years apart in age, so he thought they were sisters?

I will say that 2016 Kiffin isn't qualified. But 2023 Kiffin....I think would be a great hire.

I think that one line " get your popcorn" was a revelation for him. Don't be a ja just coach football..because after that blew up in his face...he seemed to realize that it takes more than hype and people across the field are really good

I don't think it'll happen but the whole mark helfrich chip Kelly thing was in the back of my mind. Chip bolted around the same time saban retired. Not a great time to shop. They decided helfrich could stabilize what was already there. It went poorly

He'll be playing for one next year.

Also, didn't you coonasses rush the field the last time you beat us?

I think there's a certain level of quality of life you lose coaching at a bama uga ohio st texas etc. I think a lot ppl question kiffens love for the game. I liken it drafting Johnny football. The talent is there but will he have the dedication now that he didn't when he was younger. Most guys don't get hungrier when they get older.
