re: Kiffin is going to be a thorn in our side

He was in a small market with FAU and didn’t have the same access. Take a look at Tenn, USC, and Oakland. Anytime he gets a big gig, he will self destruct.

You can go back and look at the old post from his time as a coordinator. All we wanted him to do was run the ball. I even have a t-shirt that has that message. I would have been more worried if he landed in Arkansas. Same resources, but less access to the college life.

You can bookmark it, I don’t think he is there for more than 3 years.

I tend to agree with this. Even with all his success at Alabama, he was always teetering on the edge. Being under Saban's thumb was all that kept him in line.

OM boosters still don't think they did anything wrong. Kiffin will alway be Kiffin. That's a combination that isn't going to stay on the right side of the law for more than the time it takes to get Rebel Rags funded again.

He'll win games like Hugh and his tenure will almost certainly end in the same fashion.

As far as 'locking down' Mississippi? Yeah, he was going to do that at Tennessee too. None of the Mississippi schools will ever lock down that state when you've got Tiger Stadium, Bryant-Denny, Jordan-Hare, and the other venues knocking on recruit's doors.
