He can always go back & be a power 5 OC, but he won't get big time programs interested in him as a head coach until he shows he can be a good head coach

It already does to some effect. The depth that used to be at Miami and Florida on the bench is now on the field at UCH, USF, FAU, and FIU.

Finebaum threw FAU under the bus when talking about this hire. He says you couldnt even find their campus on a map and

"Go to a high school, you'll be seen by as many people as at Florida Atlantic, "I don't want to say there's no chance of success, although I'm going to say it - there's almost no chance of success at Florida Atlantic. It's impossible. The play in a 29,000-seat stadium. The biggest crowd this year was 13,000. You tell me."

Paul doesn't give a shit... just tryin' to move the needle... more times than not, it works...

May not be such a bad place for kiffin. Here's recruiting rankings for FAU in CUSA...

'13 -- 3rd
'14 -- 8th
'15 -- 2nd
'16 -- 7th
'17 -- 6th as of now

So, kiffin should have a decent senior and sophomore class relative to the conference.

Also of note... jack Walker of Madison central committed there. Wonder if kiffin looks for more a dual threat guy

Betty lock your daughters up.

Boise State had a stadium that seated 30,000 10 years ago and now only seats about 36,000. And it's in freaking Boise.

Just "run the damn ball" and he'll be fine.

Paul doesn't care, he simply wants ratings. Plus, Pawl knows Kiffin is taking a job with FAU because Saban was ready for him to leave. Otherwise, Kiffin would be the OC at Bammer one more season.

I'd give up my 2009 SEC Championship T-shirt/Rifle Cleaning rag to see Bammer install & run the wishbone for the UW game.

Kiffin ain't hurting for money..Unless that smoking hot ex-wife of his has taken him to the bank.

I'll bet she did and I would also bet the divorce was a Cali divorce. If so she really put the hurt on him.

Sure you can find it on a map....on the East side of I-95 at Glades Rd. Been on campus a few times - your typical smaller FL metro college. Nothing great but it's alright.
