Zero energy in that room. The disappointment is palatable.

[ShotgunDawg]

He looks like a fake human. It's like they hired an actor with a history of face lifts.

I think people had Kiffin pegged wrong. I think most OM fans thought they were getting an extroverted, trouble making coach that was just muted by Saban, but in reality, Kiffin is an introvert that really struggled with the media at USC & struggles to relate to people.

His twitter account is not who he is. I think people didn't realize that.

They think they bought a party animal but they really bought a hermit that likely won't get along with their boosters

[Dawgology]

This appears to be a trainwreck....wow

God, I hope this was a money-grabbing disaster for OM. Of course I commented on a video of JoMo earlier in the year in which I stated "Man, I hope this guy succeeds". So... my hit rate has been shotty at best.

[Leroy Jenkins]

He kept saying "this is halftime" (of the recruiting process). If that is what he really believes he is waaaay behind. Although I think he said it in an attempt to get out ahead of the panic. I bet that,"I had the #1 recruiting class at USC" line is what got him the job.

[ShotgunDawg]

Twitter was great for Kiffin because it allowed him to build a brand without talking to people

In reality, he's got a really weird, awkward, aloof personality

[timotheus]

shotgun has it figured out

God, I hope this was a money-grabbing disaster for OM. Of course I commented on a video of JoMo earlier in the year in which I stated "Man, I hope this guy succeeds". So... my hit rate has been shotty at best.

...with that said, what a perfect match for that school! Warped perception, sketchy accomplishments, pretty boy that's not so pretty anymore, arrogant without reason and privileged douchebag.

ETA... not to say he won't succeed. Hell, if he doesn't with the backing of the Network and his callousness in recruiting, it'll be shocking.

[MagicDawg]

His body language is so constrained. He looks down constantly and seems to be afraid of his own voice. Maybe that's just the sound system not being integrated with the video? He also shifts back and forth constantly while he's speaking, which is usually the sign of an unprepared, unconfident, or uncomfortable public speaker.

Then again, it is OM. It could be a hangover.

Hes definitely unprepared. For example when they asked him about numbers and what positions he is going to target he says "well...... we are going to get some linemen (insert generalities and platitudes) and special players". OK, buddy. In other words, no clue.

If Moorhead can figure out the coaching side it's game over in this state. Moorhead appears approachable, relatable, and down to earth with kids. Kiffin can't compete against that. Money can, but Kiffin can't.

I predict a train wreck of epic proportions with this. OM is going to have to spend so much money trying to cover for this idiot they will end up getting destroyed by the NCAA.

I will say this about Moorhead. 1 week in I guarantee he knew just about everything related to the recruiting of our program. Kiffin just out there throwing bombs on his own program. Admitting he didn't know anyone. Sounded like he didn't want to be there. Talking about it being halftime.

If I'm OM I'm scrambling the money jets now because Kiffin looks DOA. That was an awful press conference.

[MedDawg]

Kiffin signed zero 4-star recruits in his three years at FAU and his first December signing day at OM.

Like I said above... a money-grab is what it looks like. Disinterested, aloof and content.

[KB21]

This is a guy who, if his dad wasn’t Monte Kiffin, would definitely not be getting the opportunities he has gotten to this point. He might not even be coaching at all.

[msstate7]

Kiffin signed zero 4-star recruits in his three years at FAU and his first December signing day at OM.

Fau has never signed a 4-star.

[msstate7]

Just remember that freeze's first class was 48th, and his 2nd was 4th. OM will go back to the old tactics soon. They can't help themselves

[dawgday166]

On the flip side ... Joe's presser he was ultra positive and pointed out he's only the 2nd coach other than Jackie to go to bowl games his 1st 2 years. I'm super pumped ***

He’d make a better MSU history professor than a football coach. He reminds us how bad our past is regularly. Maybe in the off season he can concentrate on the future of OUR program. I’m still kicking rocks tho.

That would be a better career choice for him. Joe reiterated over and over how much improvement has taken place since he's been here. Threw in 10 straight bowls and he's only 2nd coach to go his 1st 2 years (here's pointing at you once again Dan ... Joe did a remarkable job with that '76 Tampa Bay Bucs team you left behind).

Personally, I'd rather have the low key approach and see what happens on the field myself ... especially now with Joe himself. Tired of the rah-rah BS.

Not saying Kiffin will knock it out of the park but ... he didn't promise rings and heismans either. He knows he has a rebuild and a lot of work to do. IMO it's better to show than to glow.

Joe's presser as usual was a salesmanship spiel ... smoke and mirrors.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Didn't take long for the cucks to attempt to change the subject and drag everyone down into their inferiority. I'm not taking the bait.

Seriously. You would think that we could at least be united in making fun of NMS's splash hire looking like an unprepared Prince Valium.

[msudawg1200]

I just want to know if he has the mumps? Those cheeks look pretty swollen.

[Liverpooldawg]

I'm also a USC fan. I tried to tell y'all. This was not a splash hire or a good hire. It was a desperation hire.

Damn, DeputyDawg brining' it!!! Rep given, you rock kicker, you. (I'm right there with ya).

[KOdawg1]

Sounds like Kiffin is going to focus on recruiting nationally instead of primarily in-state. That's fine with me. Give me a bunch of Mississippi kids who take pride in playing for their state over a kid from Chicago who doesn't give a shit and just wants his money.

[Todd4State]

All Ole Miss wants is another Hugh Freeze. I can't totally blame them. I'm not sure if they got one or not.

I'll be shocked if they aren't all-in next cycle

[Todd4State]

I'll be shocked if they aren't all-in next cycle

They probably will be. But I think they will focus more on out of state guys than in-state. Losing Peeler and Nix hurts them in Mississippi. The other thing is we won't have Dan recruiting anymore meaning we will be more competitive in state than we were under Dan.

I also don't think they will be able to do what they did at 2013 levels again. Not while they are on repeat violator status.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Visor in December and while indoors. That?s a red flag for drugs and alcohol abuse to cover his eyes

Plus his clothes are brand new, like he just put on that hoodie to hide a greasy stain on his shirt.

[defiantdog]

Kiffin may not like the camera but he ain't an introvert. Trust me on this one.

[RocketDawg]

He's certainly not the world's best speaker, but at this point he has to be cut a little slack since he's only been there a week. He's probably going to have to learn how they, the fans, value recruiting rating though. I doubt he knows very much about the school or their football team at this point.

[RocketDawg]

I suppose that he's not familiar with the "no white after Labor Day" rule. I'm not surprised his clothes are new though ... if any of us suddenly became the head coach at OM we'd need a new wardrobe too.

[LC Dawg]

All Ole Miss wants is another Hugh Freeze. I can't totally blame them. I'm not sure if they got one or not.

Ole Miss was Freeze's dream job. I think it's far from Kiffin's dream job. The Network will try but I don't think Kiffin will ever be as all in as Freeze was and I damn sure don't think he'll fall on the sword if they get busted.

[maroonmania]

I really don't see how he is gonna play in homes in MS. Freeze's downhome religious schtik was made for MS, but Kiffin is going to be like a fish out of water.

I don't either based on how Kiffin is building his staff. And I agree about Freeze- the reality is Ole Miss will not find a better coach that fits them than Freeze. Kiffin will nuke the hell out of them before he falls on any sword there. I think Ole Miss being Freeze's dream job is one reason why he fell on the sword there. Although I would guess there were other benefits to Freeze falling on the sword as well- like salvaging his career.

If you don't play the audio and just watch, you'd swear this was a post game press conference after a blowout loss. The body language and the hung head with constant side to side shaking of the head is just depressing.

**** you dude. If you enjoy all the veiled references to how crappy our history is and how much Joe is improving that so be it ... but I get tired of hearing it from him myself. He wants to talk his way into making us believe he's really a top-notch coach. He just needs to shut the hell up and show us all this improvement on the field ... where it matters.

He is a troll plan and simple. He will hide behind his phone and computer. Just watch how he cowards when Saban yells at him on the side lines. He is weak person. Hell he's probably trolling this message board.

I dont doubt that at all. Of course there are few that would dare stand up to Saban on the sidelines. Grantham comes to mind. He established his relationship with Mullen pretty quickly.

But back to Lane, I think that presser may be a bit misleading. He plays the game. He is a troll. But with all of the posturing by OM fans, if he doesnt beat State or pull off an upset of LSU in the first couple of years, the torches and pitchforks will come out.

I don't know about that but the official word from Alabama was that he was focusing more on FAU than his OC job at Bama.

Anyway- probably only a matter of time before he pisses off the wrong person in the Network. Based on history- three years is probably a good guess.

I saw this a few weeks ago:



My favorite Lane memory is from 2 years ago when he came to La Tech. He talked and taunted back at the student section. Which is behind the away bench. We were down by 20 in the 1st half and he decided to go for 2. They converted it. He turned and yelled at us that he did it because of us.

...

When someone asked him what Nick Saban’s daughter was like, he replied with “Not as good as your mom”. Then dropped his play calling sheet like a microphone.
