Not for or against (yet), but I love it when people swing for the fences instead of the same ole topics. Good job.

While I think Mullen is really an OC posing as a HC ... I'd have to say Kiffin would be in that same mold too.Quote:

At least he tries and looks like he gives a damn whether or not they winQuote:

Of course I'm not sure who the most likely candidates are we could get either.
He drove me crazy Saturday with all the lateral passes against Ole Miss. Worst game plan possible against their D.Quote:

Says the person who called him a idiot just 72 hours ago for throwing 9 passes in a row.Quote:

Give me Larry Fedora anyday! and before y'all say he'I'll leave in 2 years, that could be any coach
I agree that he's a good coach. I wouldn't mind him an offensive coordinator. But he's shown with the Raiders, the Vols, and the Trojans, that he cannot sustain a winning program. Don't forget this is the same coach that ran his kicker out to try a 76 yard field goal. He's 3-10 against Top 25 opponents.Quote:

What one eyed, castrated spider monkey couldn't do that?
Somebody mentioned he'd win then leave in a year....but it's probably more like lose, knock up a coed, and then leave after a year.
I would rather have Orgeron, anyway. He's a great recruiter, the players love him, and he would personally want to beat Ole Miss for the way they treated him.Quote:

After Mullen leaves, I predict we will never be #1 again. We will never be in the conversation for the playoffs again. We will never win 19 games over 2 seasons again. At least not in the next 15 years or so.
Mullen could stay and the same thing happen too Sleepy. I like Mullen and think he's done a fantastic job here but something is seriously wrong with him. It's been obvious for three years now. He's not giving 100% but he demands that his players do and the fans do as well. If Mullen coached and recruited with the same intensity I saw during the South Carolina game we'd be a perennial top 10 team with a top 10-12 recruiting class every year.Quote:

I'd give Kiffin a shot.
It might be worth looking at the AD and/or coach at Houston.

He was only at Tennessee for one year and he got them to a bowl game in what amounts to a rebuilding year for them. He left them in shambles because a lot of their recruits followed him to USC. Had he stayed at Tennessee, no question they would have done well.
He took the USC job which was his dream job- which would be good for us because that would eliminate his dream school from hiring him- and he had three straight winning seasons there including a 10 win season while they were on probation. If he has a full deck of scholarships to play with, I imagine they would still be close to Pete Carroll levels of winning.
Now, he leaves USC and ends up at Alabama which to me makes him even more attractive because you know he has learned a LOT from Saban over the past three years. He has an offense that is pro style but it’s also very versatile- a lot of spread and pistol concepts and formations.
He’s also a top 10 recruiter per 247 sports and you know he would improve our recruiting quite a bit including giving us a pipeline into California football which is a largely untapped area for us. And he’s good at developing QB’s as well.
Which is still a very good record for us historically speaking.Quote:

The USC team when Kiffen got canned was one of the worst SC teams I had ever seen. Ogeron turned it around overnight and almost won the head job for real. Let that sink in.Quote:
