You could link to all the insiders that say only Kiffin if you wanted to prove your false statement.
But you actually cannot do that.
Because that’s not what they have been saying.

If we must do nerd then I prefer our nerd in Fisch over Drink nerd.

Who else have them even brought up as a possibility? All they have said for 2 weeks now is "Its Kiffin". "Boosters want Kiffin". "KIffin is 1A and 1B".

what are Auburn's absurd demands? asking a coach to NOT having a losing season? or Winning more than 2 conference games annually?

Yep...I think he's had so much success at Ole Miss he's pushed the bar too high to take an LSU or FL or Aub job at this point. They would all have to make significate improvements to just be considered a lateral this point. 5 years ago....he'd prob jump at LSU and FL, maybe even AU.

Do you actually watch football or just read articles?

Beat Alabama and UGA regularly. Make the playoffs in year 3. That was the expectation for Freeze in August.

This is the issue that so many Florida, LSU, and Penn State fans seem to be glossing over when they talk about hiring away Drinkwitz or Kiffin. Those guys are already in the Top-10 nationally for coaching salaries (actually now tied for 9th in light of Kelly's firing). To lure them away, it'll take a raise. And Mizzou and Ole Miss are more desperate to keep those guys than the schools trying to hire them away, so they will almost certainly match even a stupidly large offer. Even for a blue blood, paying either of them $13-$15 million per year is absurd. It would make Drink or Kiffin the highest paid coach in the country - earning $4 million more per season than DeBoer at Alabama or Lanning at Oregon.

Drink, Brohm, Urban, Riley, DC at UG, Fisch, GT coach and lots of others have all been mentioned. Kiffin is far from the only name “insiders” have mentioned.
Certainly, most feel Kiffin is the first choice but I actually prefer he stays at OM.
And to be clear, most insiders are full of shite. ADs don’t feed good information to anyone any longer. It will be on social media in seconds. It’s all just guessing. Just look at one of the Rebs calling Spivey an insider. That’s hilarious. All his former contacts are from decades ago.

They shouldn’t have fired Mcelwain to be honest. Just because he wasn’t the type to say hello to the softball coach in passing. They made Mullen so miserable that he got lazy and said screw em. That’s what other coaches are looking at and why they’re saying hell no to that job.
Mac had no control 13 players were in trouble for credit card fraud, his offense sucked, and he was an embarrassment in front of the microphone. He just got a show cause for being a slimy person. Mullen openly campaigned for the Cowboy job while coaching on Saturdays. He lost the locker room and had a recruiting class ranked 88th in November. You are obviously trolling. Even South Carolina wouldn’t accept either one of those coaches mediocrity.

What UF fan is talking about wanting to hire away Drink? I haven’t seen any LSU fans clamoring for him either.

Before Auburn can expect to beat UGA regularly they should try just beating them once...
and regards to the Playoffs - those expectations were put there by Freeze himself

South Carolina has only fired one coach in the last 25 years too. And the one we fired, we gave him plenty of time. Yall would have fired Beamer after this season but we are giving him another year. My thing is it can’t be ALL those coaches faults from Ron Zook to Napier. Maybe it’s time to look in the mirror and be like “Hell maybe we are the problem”.

South Carolina isn’t interested in a trophy case. UF wants to add to theirs.
It’s not all that difficult to understand.

LSU will probably hire him. He’s the only one left to poach

#1 He would be extremely expensive. He already makes $9 million a year. Paying him $13-15 million a year would be idiotic, especially due to the reasons below.
#2 He would not satisfy my main criteria for the next coach which is firing up the fanbase. Napier sucked all the juice out of the program. We need someone who will get the Swamp rocking, boosters donating money, and impressing recruits. Drink does not have the attitude or demeanor to do that. He would immediately piss off half the fanbase or more. He seems like a mix of Mullen and Mac, which is potentially the worst possible combination of attitudes.
#3 From an X's and O's standpoint, I am not sure how much of his success is due to Kirby Moore. Nothing seems overly impressive.
Due to this, I think he has both the lowest ceiling and lowest floor of the potential coaches. And he would be too expensive to fire quickly. A Drink regime would have the potential for kneecapping us until the 2040's
Same reasons I don't want him.
At least with Kiffin, he'd fire up the fans and probably retain most of your talent.
I don't like the idea of $13-15 million for him either though.

The coaching cycle got a lot more complicated with the transfer portal window moving to a single window and that window happening during the playoffs. Now you've got to wait for a coach if they are in the playoffs (feels inevitable to me that OM will be) and you no longer have the spring window to try to fill the roster in. Not to mention that HS recruiting is essentially over before Christmas now.

What a dumb comparison. Who is our Harsin?

I’m trying to figure out what absurd demands he’s referencing.
Running an effective offense?
Eliminating procedural penalty after a timeout?
Clock management ability?
Developing one of the top QB recruits in the country?
So demanding.

They are the same clowns praying we'd keep Napier but now we are an unreasonable program?
