Kiffin leaving

[Lakedawg]

From twitter:

Confirmed from program sources: If Lane Kiffin does not get Houston HC job, he will be the offensive coordinator at LSU next season.

Unless they are giving a big pay raise, I don't understand the move to LSU. I know O is his boy and all but that seems pointless. Stay at Bama until he gets another HC shot or go to LSU and put all your faith and job security in O? In Saban I trust.

Interesting. If he turns LSU into an offensive juggernaut from where they've been offensively the last several years that is saying something. That's the only thing I can see as far as a career boost from moving to LSU.

 

[FlotownDawg]

I think both he and Saban are ready for him to move on. Joey Freshwater has worn out his welcome in Tuscaloosa. Time for a change of scenery.

 

[codeDawg]

I can't imagine he and Saben see eye to eye

 

[Lakedawg]

I just read somewhere else his contract was up. I guess with Sark waiting in the wings (most likely in a drunken stupor), Kiffin is being encouraged to exit stage left.

Saban seems to keep his thumb on Kiffin's throat

and with good reason.

And I suspect Kiffin is too spoiled to continue with that, and needs to move along.

Likely don't care for those sideline *** chewing's.

Whose twitter? Makes no sense. Like he's telling Houston that if they don't hire him he's going to make a lateral move? LOL

 

[DerHntr]

O is likely telling him he can run the offense however he wants which would be quite the change from Saban.

This is important, because his contact is what made him attractive to Bama. He is being paid by USCw right now every penny he was due... minus what Bama paid him (which is like less than half a million, I think). So Bama is getting a huge bargain.

I think the offer O has made him is significantly more than what Bama is willing to give, considering Sark is right there waiting on his career rebound, which will likely start out very cheaply.

Plug Cutty Sark in and keep rollin'.

All that is true, but I don't think Bama is too worried about money. Meaning ... if they really wanted to keep him, they would, if money was the deciding factor.

He should go to work for Dan**

If Houston is his best HC offer, I would make the Corn Dogs pay out their Coon Asses for my services. Their offense can't help but get better keeping him in the running for a good HC opportunity in the future. Univ of Houston is a land locked commuter university with no football legacy except Andre Ware, smack dab in the middle of the 4th largest city in 'Merica. No thanks

Sumlin to aTm
Briles to Baylor
Herman to Texas

Houston is a great stepping stone job

Actually, from one who has worked for both, Saban is easier

Houston has money and a good natural base to recruit from. Forgetting Case Keenum? Greg Ward is pretty good. LSU won't and can't match what Houston can pay him as a HC. They can pay $3 MIL easy for the right guy

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Kiffin has to go to a place like Houston, to prove himself

Considering his POS history, he is going to need some confirmation, that he has matured.(Lot's of work to be done there).

Otherwise, be a coordinator...

Recall that he got fired at his dream Job.

 

[was21]

Lus folk worried that Less Miles would take Houston job because he would out recruit Orgeron in the area. Since recruiting seems to be Orgeron's strong suit (and nothing else) makes me wonder why they fired Miles and hired the Ogre

 

[rem101]

Only when Saban stands on a stool.

I think you underestimate how bad it sucks working under a miserable ******* like Saban. After I've made some money like Kiffen has there is no way in hell I would stay and deal with his BS. O will let him run the show without any BS. It's an easy decision IMO.

What makes you think that's Oregeron's only strong suit these days? His time at Ole Miss was 10 years ago. Since then as interim coach twice he's done nothing but win. What the hell is Miles strong suit? Being in the right place at the right time?

 

[civildawg88]

Lsu administration looks to be the worst in the league. They totally botched their head coaching search and if kiffin takes the Houston job they will be looking for another oc.

Have y'all seen how much they are paying their DC? 1.8 million. Pretty crazy a coordinator makes that now

 

[Shmuley]

Bobby Williams (17 years), Burton Burns (10 years), Bo Davis (8 years), Mel Tucker (6 years), Billy Napier (4 years), Mario Cristobal (4 years). May as well include Kirby (11 years). Wish our miserable ******* could locate and hold onto quality assistants as poorly as their miserable *******.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Ego Shumley!

I doubt that whole group added together matches up to Kiffin's Ego.

 

[Shmuley]

No doubt. He gone (although there's an espn report out that he may be staying through the CFP).

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

That would be expected.

Mullen went back to Fla. (after a couple weeks in Vegas) to coach , and get one of his rings.
