And this is AFTER playing in a Sugar Bowl, which as a fan-base, they covet more than anything else (maybe outside of recruiting).

Their program trajectory resembles a team coming out of a 5-7/6-6 season....so something is obviously amiss. I agree with others re: Kiffin. He's definitely an introvert that somehow thrives on twitter....but that ain't who he is, and 'cruits see it.
Well, we're exhibit A that a great season doesn't necessarily translate into momentum the next year. See Dan Mullen after 2010.

Coach O was the brains behind Kiffin's "great recruiter" reputation, and it is more obvious than ever now.

Kiffin hoped to ride Corral to a better job and it hasn't happened yet. The end game of this is not going to be pretty.
