Kiffin wants Ole Miss job??

[Turfdawg67]

Supposedly, his last 4 Twitter follows have all been Ole Miss related. Oh... please, please, please let this happen!!! From the frying pan, straight into the ****bird fire!!

Well, if anyone would be enough of an asshole to dump a team 1 week before camp starts to jump to a "better" job, Lane Kiffin would be that guy.

[Turfdawg67]

Next year maybe...

It would be extremely stupid of OM to hire him with his brother in the thick of the NCAA mess. Even though I wouldn't put it past them after everything they've done in the past several years, I don't see it happening.

[Tbonewannabe]

So how would he try and bring his brother back to the job that he had to leave because of the current NOA that he is listed in? I guess if he gets a show clause then it won't matter because he wouldn't have a job at FAU or wherever Joey Freshwater is now.

[Dawgface]

There is no upside to hiring Kiffin. But....they may be nutty enough to do it.

[Bothrops]

If he does, he's a bigger idiot than I thought.

[TrapGame]

He'd be gone in two or three years. Why? He'd have half the boosters pissed at him for screwing their wives and daughters.

The boosters are saving their wives and daughters for the recruits.

Yeah, priorities.

[Dawgology]

Bargaining chip. No coach in their right mind would go to Ole Miss right now.

What coach is going to turn down an SEC job?

If I was a coordinator or lower level HC with realistic ambitions of having a long, successful career as a HC, I wouldn't touch the ole miss jobs for at least 3 years. I'd wanna know the sanctions first, and then if wanna let someone else take the lumps of a crippled program for a few years before there'd be enough light at the end of the tunnel to formulate a realistic rebuilding plan. Right now there's no realistic rebuilding plan to be made. If the 2nd coming of nick saban was the HC, they'd be lucky to only lose 25 games the next 3 seasons. And the fan base will be looking for a fresh start as they are coming out of NCAA probation too. I'd rather stay a coordinator or the fau HC another year or 2 waiting for a job I could realistically win at within a couple seasons than take a job I know is going to nightmare for the next 3+ years regardless of the HC.

This would have to be someone either looking for a money grab or a chance to be a head coach when they probably won't ever have that chance again. If you do like Tuberville then you spring board to a better program like Auburn. However, if you end up doing a horrible job like Croom then you are lucky to be a RB coach again. For all of the people saying UM will get someone for 5 Mill a year, I am sure they would except they are going to take a big hit on bowl money also. I would also figure that donations will be down after this also. You can't spend like Bama on a USM budget.

Whats the bowl money loss look like? do they also lose the money from the conference revenue?

But why spend $5M/year on a coach when even a great coach will struggle to go 4-8 the next 3+ seasons? Matt Luke could probably coach them to 3-9 each year for $1.5M. Then when sanctions are ending, they can hire a guy for $5M that can now actually build something.

[DogsofAnarchy]

OMG !!! I can't BEAR their stupidness!!

Kiffen to OM makes a lot of sense. He is the disgruntled Bama OC that Saban told to **** off right before the NC game and his brother already knows the ins and outs of the shady OM ways.

yeah ... but if Freeze had a few numbers, this guy could have an entire phone book ... but this move would be so OM - replace a cheating coach with someone that left the state of California one step ahead of the NCAA ... sounds like a good fit to me

[TUSK]

If I'm Kiffin, I'd have to consider it... Ole Miss > FAU regarding exposure... It's a better "stepping stone"....

They'll have drastically LOW expectations... Plenty of Hos to bang.... and, a HELL of a lot more money....

Hang out in Oxford and try to go .500 until the next stepping shows itself....
