Alabama blew it. Kiffin was the obvious choice

How did they frick this up so badly? The only coach I was remotely worried about landing the Alabama job was Kiffin.
He’s shown that he has adapted to the new version of college football better than anyone. He dominates the transfer portal and brings in guys that fit his system to a T.
I thought for sure Deboer was a smoke screen and now he’s insisting on bringing his staff of non recruiters to Tuscaloosa.
Don’t get me wrong I’m excited for High to dominate in state recruiting but I feel a little dirty about it.

Turns out that fricking a prominent booster’s wife isn’t a good idea. Especially when they are on the committee that approves hires

Not saying Deboer is going to be bad but I’m glad they didn’t hire Kiffin

Kiffin will be a good coach at some place other than Ole Miss soon.
Just won’t be at Bama.
A lot of Alabama fans were in denial. We all knew he had no shot at the job, but refused to believe it.

No he wasn't. Kiffin has never won shite as a head coach. DoBoer has already accomplished more than him and he's only been coaching D1 for 4 seasons.

Kiffin was the hire I was most worried about
Probably followed by some combo of Norvell then Sark.

NO!!! Bama got this hire right. Kiffin is a good coach but he is to immature for the job. Plus Kiffin has lost several games he might could have won because he makes stupid coaching decisions that end up costing him games. Bama got this hire right.

Kiffin might be their insurance plan it DeBoer fails. The Kiffen can come in and clean it up. Kiffen would probably demand saban not be on campus and ride of into the sunset. I find it interesting saban will have an office there looking over DeBoer's shoulder.
After all, it is tough to follow a goat. Ask Ray Perkins.

I agree. Some buddies and I were discussing this last night over dinner. Kiffin is way ahead of everybody else in the new portal/NIL world and he is a damn good on-field coach. He’s the one I absolutely did not want in Tuscaloosa. I’ll take my chance with Kaitlin DeBoner.

Kiffin CAN NOT come back to BAMA !! He slept with the wrong women while he was there !!

They can get him next time when bama is desperate

Why would Bama be interested in that?

Which is exactly the way to adapt when you are a mid-tier school like Ole Miss or Colorado trying to compete with the big boys. But if you are Alabama, Ohio St, Michigan, Georgia, etc you focus on recruiting and keeping your talent and then occasionally poaching other players as needed. Not saying Kiffin can’t run a big program, but his elite transfer portal ability isn’t necessarily a quality needed at a big time program already at the top.

But they got the next Saban.

We don’t really know this. He’s going all in for the 2024 season. He’s never shown he can win big games consistently or maintain anything.
Ole Miss is just as likely to fall apart after next year as they are to continue the recent success.
Kiffin is basically making his new reputation off of winning a shootout against the worst defense in LSU history.
