Point still stands. When he was out of a job after he was fired from USC, it wasn’t UF who gave him another shot at coaching. It was Saban and Alabama. The AD at UF at the time was hired during the years his ex-FIL was on staff. You really think those guys didn’t know each other?

It’s really not that hard to grasp that if UF really wanted Kiffin, he’d already be at UF. It was rumored he’d end up at UF in 2021. It didn’t happen. It was rumored he’d end up at Auburn in 2022. Didn’t happen. Florida fans really think if he didn’t take what’s considered the most toxic job in the SEC, he’d go for the second most toxic job in the SEC?

There isn’t one single coach in America making career decisions based upon where their ex-wife went to school

It’s not about Kiffin making that decision based on those factors. Networking is a thing, even in college football. If Spurrier were going to endorse Kiffin for any level of coaching job at UF, it would have happened by now. How you think most assistant coaches get their start? Either they know somebody, or they know somebody who knows somebody to get them in the door.

Around the same time, but to imply Kiffin was committing recruiting violations just because his comments weren’t that great isn’t exactly what can be defined as “professional”.

Florida last won a national championship during the BCS era. Florida is like middle aged beauty queen. She’s a beautiful woman, but her time in the spotlight is done and she doesn’t want to accept her time to shine is over.

There is a loophole that allows for 6 year extensions.

Kiffin calling Spurrier his idol implies respect, not friendship. Y’all forget about this? This article implies there was bad blood between Kiffin, Meyer, and Spurrier when Kiffin was at Tennessee. LINK

Would Kiffin get Spurrier’s stamp of approval considering Kiffin’s former father-in-law played under Spurrier on the Tampa Bay Bandits, and coached under Spurrier at UF in the early 90s?
