Retread

If you're going to continually use a term, at least understand when it's applicable. Elko is in no way a retread.

I just want DeBoer. Traylor is another Sumlin and Dabo is another Jimbo.

The longer this drags out, the more it confirms that we are going after a coach who is still in the playoff hunt.

Can he recapture the hunger to build another championship team?


No.

The Transfer portal is one of the biggest things about the modern game today, and he refuses to use it.

You can't succeed at a big school like ours without actually recruiting AND using the transfer portal.

The more I sit here and think about it, the more I’m interested in Lane Kiffin

He’s put a great offense on field, would keep a lot of the offensive guys we currently have. I bet they’d be way more inclined to stay.

Would use the transfer portal tremendously well. Plus he’s been mentioning he needs more NIL help from Ole Miss. imagine if he had A&Ms NIL support.

Keep ERob as DC and a lot of the defensive guys would stay. He lines up perfectly with our timeline too. He could be the new HC by Monday once the Egg Bowl raps up this weekend. I get the fan base hates him for how he spoke about Jimbo but still, I think he’d be a good hire

Kiffin would be great. I think we will know if Bjork or the boosters are in charge by the selection. Elko or Traylor, it is the boosters.

If you have the time go watch the full interview with Bjork on WFAA. It is on YouTube. A little over 30 minutes but it is really good. Believe this is actually the first time we've done an open search and not focused on 1 or 2 candidates.

Y'all are crazy. Kiffin is not an elite coach and he will never be one. Settling on Kiffin would be settling for 9 win seasons. Always good, but never good enough. He also has a tendency to let teams get back into games. The last two seasons, he couldn't put us away despite our anemic offenses.

Our goal is to hire someone that can beat Saban and Kirby. Lane has shown he can't do that

I agree. Let's hire the guy that beats Kirby & Saban all the time. Not sure that person exists, but he'd be a great hire.

The only guy with a win over Saban or Kirby this year is Sark. Should we take him from tu?

As opposed to hiring a guy we KNOW can't beat them?

Do we know that? He is at a significant talent deficit at Ole Miss. Put Sark at Ole Miss and he would get drubbed by Kirby and Saban annually as well.

How do you know it’ll be settling? What coach can you guarantee me will come in here and win besides Saban and Kirby? You can’t, it’s a crap shoot either way. Personally I think Kiffin has a high upside. I’d like to see him get a shot and roll the dice

I think he’s using us as leverage to secure his spot at OSU in case he loses to Michigan again
