100% same thought when I read that.

If he leaves he clearly didn't.

Wut? Leaving UT for USC is NOTHING like leaving Ole Miss for LSU. Not when there's reports of $90 million in play, if that's accurate.

Do we really know what $90 million of LSU money IS compared to schools that honor their contracts? If I'm Kiffen, LSU sounds like a dumpster fire. Like they really weren't even shit before Saban stepped on campus there. USC has a much deeper history of success.

BK was a horrible fit there, but probably not a terrible coach if we're being honest. LSU is probably exactly what USC thought they were 15 years ago when they hired Kiffen.

He was winning and happy at UT.  USC was his dream job, he left and underperformed expectations (despite not having enough scholies) and was fired on the damn runway.

Had to start over as an asst with Saban and work his way up through Florida Atlantic after that, he's said in interviews it was a mistake he regretted repeatedly. He should've stayed at UT.

He's king at OM, they'll give him everything he wants. If he leaves for LSU and is good but not great...

Leaving for USC was his dream job, agreed. But leaving for LSU is nothing like that now. Not with the price tags being thrown around, if those numbers are to be believed.

I do agree that his best play is staying at Ole Miss.

He was 7-6 in his one year at UT. Then USC wanted him.

They fucking loved Kiffin and almost burned down the campus when he left

They thought he'd win a NC within a few years, he had Orgeron and they were killing everyone recruiting

That was a very weird deal. He talked mad smack there in a very short period of time. I guess they were yearning for something exciting after fat Phil cashed it in but I kinda felt a little bad for them. They got mired in a long string of bad coaches, similar to us after petrino. Hopefully it's our time to break the curse.

Considering USC had Kiffen and Riley as HC, yet still couldn't win is fascinating. Definitely would've thought they would have done much better.

If you told me then Orgeron would be head coach of LSU and win a NC, then get shitcanned almost immediately...

WILD BOYZ indeed

He'd be a fool to sign that.

Florida will make him a top priority when Lane passes on them.

He would be perfect at Pedo...considering the guy already looks like a convict pedo now anyways.

I don't get Kiffin leaving a playoff team to go to a place where they shirk out on paying buyouts and have shown to have a quick hook.

I'm sure mostly this is to leverage more money out of Ole Miss.

It's sad that we're somebodies backup plan (as opposed to Ole Miss) and that if you believe some we go passed on my the fucking North Texas coach. Probably more likely he got told he's 2nd or 3rd on the wish list.

If Kiffin decides to stay at OM, everyone's world will come to an end. That would be the "shit hits the fan" decision for a lot of coaches licking their lips to go a better program.
Well, shit...

he would have no problem fucking with lsu and leaving them scrambling.

Maybe I missed the secret insider information here, but I just saw that Dilly Dilly is likely going to Florida.
