Week One when FSU rolled Bama, the Tide fans were calling for DeBoer’s head and saying Bama should throw all its money at Kiffin.

DeBoer looks solid now, and only the most insecure Bama fans are going to melt about Kiffin going to LSU.

This is going to be fun.

You want so bad to be relevant to Bama fans.

Have fun with your coach who has never made the conference championship game.

Good luck

I like Kiffin personally. He's a decent coach

We don’t care about 7-5 teams.

We sincerely do not care who your coach is.

Husky Harsin, as you guys called him, is playing for a conference championship in year 2, in probably the most competitive this conference has been in a couple decades.

Your favorite color is crimson and it pains you to not admit it. You know you have a shirt in your sock drawer next to your wife’s dildos.

I tried to start an Iron Bowl thread on here this morning. It didn't take.

LSU can’t hold Bama’s jocks. When Saban retired Kiffin wasn’t on the list. Period. I’d expect no less than 10 win seasons at LSU or else you dipshits will learn the world has changed. How much money you keep pumping to coaches your program has ruined? What about Texas Tech?

Big reach, Kim. As I’ve told you before, Bama fans don’t really care who “L”3u has coaching. It doesn’t change the overall regularity of Bama owning the tigahs. You’ll get yours every once in a while, but you know who daddy is.

Kiffin was a non-starter for Greg Byrne and the Alabama trustees. Wasn't considered.
Kiffin definitely wanted Bama after Saban retired and word got back he was disappointed.

These are people that worked closely with Kiffin at Bama and they didn't want him. Likely because of the drama and the baggage that they have intimate knowledge of.

LSU believe he's worth the risk I guess. They have their own drama and baggage so it's probably not a big deal to them.

Doeber is a much better coach than kiffin, and better yet mentally stable

Bama never wanted Kiffin.

Rant fans are not representative of the boosters.

Congrats on getting your guy.

I don't know if DeBoer is going to work out but I wanted Kiffin about as much as Dabo, which is not at all. Congrats on the hire, though.
