Who Exactly is the MoFo That Held up the Kiffin Hire?

My guess is that Kiffin's agent slow played us waiting to see if a last minute job offer would come up... and it did.

I get the sense this is not so much we put the brakes on as it is that Kiffin, and other coaches, are scared to come here and try to rebuild the program.

Any potential coach sees the situation and the extreme risk in taking this job right now. You're looking at least one, maybe two years to get to a bowl at best. Even though Chad Morris should have been fired, it sets a bad precedent for any potential coach that he was fired in less than two seasons. You're basically going to be walking into unrealistic expectations and locker room in total chaos that is only going to get worse in 2020 without some type of heroic finish before signing day. Or you could stay at your G5 school and win another 10-11 games and wait for something else.
