We have a team ready to win now, and a great recruiting class next season in miss. Kiffin could win next season and lock up a great class.

What is the fascination with Kiffin? Where has he been successful? Saban fired his *** for being stupid.

44-24 as a HC. Has made a bowl every year his team is eligible. Took over a losing tenn and FAU team. Took over USC after worst NCAA trouble in recent time

Kiffin is an egomaniac but a good coach and he brings a level of national prominence to our school. Go read his Twitter, entertaining as hell. We would get lots of publicity for sure.

I’ve been really impressed with his work at FAU this season. Undefeated in Conference USA and are just killing people and putting up huge offensive numbers. Kendall Briles (Art’s son) is his offensive coordinator. I would be pretty pumped if we could get Kiffin. He definitely wouldn’t be scared of Saban like Mullen is.

I’m sure he would want nothing more than to piss on Saban. I could see him buying into the egg bowl and trolling them like No other.

False? He did about as well as anyone could have at USC with the sanctions, and has been an instant hit at FAU. Alabama went 40-3 with him as OC, where he got Saban to stop whining and embrace the spread.

So we should hire a guy who has failed spectacularly at a Top 5 job with infinite resources to coach at a school with the 2nd lowest budget in the SEC? And we should do it because it will keep one season and one recruiting class from falling apart? No thank you. But to give credit where its due, he would win for one, maybe two years before the struggles of sustaining a program. There is no doubting that.

And before you say anything about USC’s probation, don’t forget that freaking Ed Orgeron went 6-1 to finish the season after Kiffin’s 2-3 start the year that he got fired. So he literally had no excuse for failing at USC.

Kiffen would be an absolute homerun! That is a right now hire. He’d be hungry to move up and he’d have a talented roster. I feel like he would lock up the 2018 and 2019 class also and recruit at a level not seen here before. Like the other poster said he does not fear Saban or anyone for that matter. Mullen cowered down Like a whipped Dog when he thought he couldn’t win before a game and he’d coach like it too but would be cocky when he knew he had the better team. Joey Freshwater would bring a ridiculous amount of publicity with him too. Keep the Gravy Train going at Starkville. It’s a Win-Win I think.

Hearing we have reached out to Mr. Freshwater....dilly dilly

Thats the only thing that will get me back active on Twitter. And I would follow only one account. We could also save that alledged video of Saban dancing that he has for the next Bama game at home.

downside is the guy could leave in the middle of the night any time and we not know it until he is introduced somewhere else.

One thing is certain, we would get recurring mentions on Tosh.O. Don’t know if it would be good or bad.

I’d be ok with it if his buyout numbers were something like this:
- $1 million if we decide we don’t want him anymore. If it’s year 1 or year 4
- $30 million if he leaves to coach ANYWHERE in college football or the NFL, even as a coordinator

He has earned the skepticism.

The plus side to him leaving at anytime, is that it’s unlikely we would be competing with so many schools with such little talent pool seemingly to work with.

That and he would likely leave the roster in pretty good shape.

I’m starting to kinda get on board with it.
