Just read that the Gus Bus made a trip to Arkansas to interview for that job.

He will need a job soon, he may be interviewing for Greeter at the Fayetteville on Campus Walmart

Ok, so two years removed from not even calling Kiffin, and everyone ok with that. . suddenly , he is the favorite for the fanbase to take over if CkD leaves? Bama fans…Amirite?

Despite waves of nausea... I brought this up with my other Bama group yesterday. Lane offers pretty quick wins and you might be able to springboard a soft landing after he implodes in year 5.

I think we either let DeBoer build the program for 5 years or we end up wandering in the wilderness with a string of 3-4 year coaches who never really put the program on solid ground. I think that is why Nebraska gave Rhule a big contract. They know he is a solid coach who has resurrected two programs and they need to commit to a rebuild.

We have no idea if Bama contacted Kiffin or not.

True. But, I do trust what GMAC said about his indiscretions while he was at Bama hurting his chances. Don't know what they were though.

Well, getting fired before the National Championship game and, probably; costing us a Championship might be one. Just sayin'

You really trust Gmac at this point?

Bless your heart...

Everyone needs to back up on coach KD! If was going to leave, alot of teams would be interested because the man can coach, let him build his program with his players, the oldest players he has recruited are sophomores, when he gets the right players we will take off, I think he's doing good now

 

[CrimsonTitles]

I don't think it matters if we get a good hire and the NIL is right for the players. Due to board policy I'm not even going to to touch upon his sideline interviews and his expressions on the sideline. The guy can coach, but I'm gonna need more than 9-3 and barely making the playoffs.

But who is available that would be a definite upgrade from DeBoer? I haven't seen anything from Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss to suggest he would be doing any better here than DeBoer. We actually finished ahead of Ole Miss last season, and we have one less loss this season, but a more impressive resume. I just dont see it. And then if Ole Miss loses the Egg Bowl (good chance they do), and Bama wins the Iron Bowl, Bama will likely finish ahead of them again. Apart from Cignetti, there isn't really anyone potentially gettable that I would consider to be a definite upgrade (not that Cignetti is either, but he's the only one who might) so that would be a huge gamble.

Well, he seems to know stuff on the situation that I certainly don’t.

The phrase "while we discuss next steps" seems interesting. What next steps need to be taken if he's staying?

He gone

If you wish to believe this, okay.

I'd suggest GMac knows exactly as much about stuff happening behind the scenes as the Bama fan at your local gas station.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

He gone

I think so too. They will probably lose to miss state, because of the distraction and players might not want t o go all out for a guy leaving

 

[crimsonaudio]

He gone

Maybe. Or maybe he's vying for more cash for himself, staff, etc.

In the NIL era, OM has the ability to be as big at Florida or anyone else - and OM has cash...

 

[Elefantman]

He gone

The only question is where.

Welcome to your opinion; but I disagree.
It's basically his full time job; and he's a pretty smart guy. Whether you like him , or not.

If he’s staying, why not announce it now?

Of course, it’s Kiffin. I wouldn’t surprise me if he’s orchestrating the whole thing to make it be some kind of huge splash for Ole Miss.

I agree with you, and that’s why I think his best move is to remain. He will end up fired from LSU. He will have a statue if he stays at Ole Miss.

Kiffin Field?

Leveraging more money?

Yeah, he's a smart guy, but there are plenty of examples of him making ridiculous statements in an attempt to either show how smart he is or to seemingly distance himself from Bama bias.

I ignore him now. His commentary is largely garbage.

When / if he actually breaks a real story I'll start to pay attention.

Otherwise he's just a guy who has chosen to place his career objectives above all else.

 

[Elefantman]

After the egg bowl, Lane will announce he is staying. Then have Arch and Eli kiss his ring.
