One of the guys was a Texas alum and a big supporter. His comment to the group.

“The truth is if Kiffin had been offered the HC gig at Texas, Ohio St, Alabama, etc.. he would have accepted almost immediately”

Never thought about it but he might be right.

A Texas alum thinks the most coveted HC in america right now would accept his school right away? Whoa. Earth shattering stuff here. Interesting.

Lane Kiffin is what's wrong with CFB

Openly flirting with rival schools in the middle of a playoff run. Really hoping to see him swirl the drain for his antics.

You should have asked him how many coaches turned them down before they hired Sark. He was either 5th or 7th on the list.

His bigger point was none of those schools would let this drag out once in the open. They would protect their brand,

Dumb.

He's got two behemoth programs vying for his skills as a Head Coach and they have deadlines.

Probably the hardest decision hes ever made.

If he thought he could sustain this level of success at Ole Miss he would have signed the extension weeks ago.

There hasn’t been a single thing Kiffin has done in this saga that could remotely be described as “openly”

I’ll bet a couple months ago that jacktard probably thought Sark and Arch were the best things since sliced bread.

In the current landscape I wouldn’t want to deal with the boosters at one of these schools that just expects championships. PSU fired a coach that was in the playoffs last year. Only reason I think Elko signed extension at A&M is that the AD shields him from that crap

Let’s be honest one of those is not like the other others


A dozen coaches have rejected the job at Texas in the last 15 years

Lies, DeBoer waited until the season was over, tom Herman waited until the season was over to accept Texas job. Osu just promoted Ryan day.

Quite the selective outrage since he clearly mentioned other schools there. You missed the point.
Lane would jump at the chance to coach in a large media market. I don't agree with him, but that was clearly what he meant.

You should sit this one out.

Since 1937 Charlie Strong is the only Texas coach to not win or play for a conference championship or finish top 15 at least once.

You're team has hired 7 such coaches.

Two jobs that would be instant yes's from Kiffin have always been Texas and Alabama. That has been known.

If he were to go to LSU. If either one of those opens, you better believe the Kiffin circus would open back up.
