The upside, as you laid out, is the dynamic talent he’d bring immediately.
No. This is not proven. He hasn't proven this.

Kiffin is the likely guy.
Lane Kiffin is leaving the SEC. And he will do it on his terms to keep from being tarnished because Lane wants to replace Saban.
That path ENDS if:
1- He stays in the SEC and gets beat (will lose at least 2 more this year). And it's only going to get harder.
2- He takes the Auburn job. His career goes down after that regardless. That's where we are headed in the NCAA and SEC.
Kiffin will go to Lincoln (if he is smart) win 99% of his games with a decent booster money in NIL and wait on Saban to retire.

Was Born there because his father coached at Nebraska.
Nebraska has already made it clear to HIS AGENT that they are willing to pay and will have the NIL money in place.
That does not mean he will take it, but Kiffin is a very aware man. He knows
1- He can not stay in the SEC and have his record tarnished if he want Bama.
2- Saban is going to retire sooner than later.
3- A move outside the SEC to a place where he has 1 hard game per year but still in a "upper" conference will only help his stock. Should he prove he can make that program move and win the conference, he will get the job after Saban retires. He already knows that.
It's not about "swanky" It's about wanting Bama and how to go about getting it

Enjoy Dan Mullen
Proves what little boy you are if you believe this.
Mullen will never be considered for a position at Auburn, but you were probably 5 or 6 during the Cam Newton season, and don’t get it.

Very few FCS coaches have been successful going directly to the P5 level. Zero SWAC coaches have.
Prime isn’t the typical FCS/SWAC coach not just from an image/recruiting standpoint but connections and ability to assemble a coaching staff. You look at what’s he’s put together at JSU and it’s pretty impressive.

I don’t know about that. If I were hiring a suicide bomber or kamikaze pilot I probably would not pick the guy with lots of experience.
