I’m just thinking from my prospective I wouldn’t want another SEC coach from a different team. For example I wouldn’t want Kirby because I don’t like some of the stuff he does even though I think he is a great coach. I would want to find like a diamond in the rough coach and be like yeah we took a chance on him when no one else would and now we’re going to the sec championship. Maybe I’m too old school.

Because he looks like he makes the games fun. And after BK/Napier, can you blame us?

Off-field crap aside, I can't imagine not wanting Kirby if you had a vacancy. Not that he is going anywhere.

Kiffin has proven to be one of the best coaches since NIL/Portal became a thing, it shouldnt be a surprise everyone wants him.

Its more surprising to me seeing how many want Saban or Meyer. Saban is 75 and retired because NIL frustrated him. Meyer is 61 and hasnt coached college football for the better part of a decade. Both legendary coaches, but I wouldnt want either of them leading my program with the present rules of the game

I would be fine with any of Kiffin, Drink, Morris, Chesney

True but you would have to deal with this crap if he’s your coach. If the bama job opens I could see him bolting for it.

Compared to what we’ve had it’s something to want to have in gainesville

And that’s why Ole Miss will always be Ole Miss

If Lane left and Kirby showed just a hint of interest, you’d be crazy not to offer whatever he wanted.

It is because Florida and LSU view themselves as a major step up from OM..."if he can do what he has done at OM imagine what he can do here"

That’s for you to say, now. You’ll have your chance to search for that diamond very soon.

Ask the media. From day one he was the second name on every single sports media outlet list of top coaches for all vacancies to speak too.

Every one said first call Saban, second call Kiffin.

Because they made a big mistake, they made an emotional decision to fired their coaches mid-season without the consideration of a potential replacement and the timing to get their replacement.

These schools continue to making emotional decisions in hiring their next coach. Lane appeared to be the quickest fix because if he is their new coach then everything will be sparkles and rainbows...

Texas A&M had gone through their emotional hire of Jimbo, so they wisely and logically hired a lesser known coach from Duke. Notice Auburn is out of the Lane sweepstakes, they emotionally hired Freeze in 2022 because Lane said no. Now I think Auburn will make a wiser more logical hire... or they can just be Auburn...

Because Kiffin does not deserve to spend his career coaching for people with such atrocious grammar.

Tell Florida fans to pin their hopes on Kingsbury. The Caw knows something but he’s not showing his cards
