Quote from: Barton Fink on Nov 30, 2025, 01:58 PMYou can still hire a coach if he coaches the season through. Just like when coaches would be fired and coached through a bowl game back in the day.

What's the harm if he coached and lost? Program is still 11-1 and in the playoff. But what if he coaches and they win it all. That is a huge benefit for the coach coming in.

To me reward > risk.

If this was the way to play it, Kiffin needed to tell LSU up front that he was the Ole Miss coach through the end of the year and that if they wanted to talk to them he'd be available after their last game.  He could have coached, kept both programs in limbo, and still ended up with the job he wanted with minimal fallout.

Amazed at how much the UF job seems to have declined as I would've viewed it as better than LSU or at least equivalent for quite some time.

Not sure that I'm convinced UF made a better hire than we did

Quote from: RPL on Nov 30, 2025, 01:58 PMKiffin has a total lack of empathy. He's not a narcissist. It is almost like he's on the spectrum and...oh, shiny new object...must play with.

LSU will learn this when the Bama job comes open in a couple of years. Heck, they may learn it in the next couple of weeks. 

It would be so Kiffin to ditch LSU if DeBoer bounces to Pedo State.

Said this exact same thing earlier today.

Kiffin will 100% jerk LSU around when the Bama job comes open, be it in a few weeks or years.

Valid, it's getting to be slim pickings.

He was DC at Bama for a few years.  No HC experience.

Is he a good DC?

Yep, it's not realistic to expect LSU to wait without at least some assurance.

And it's not realistic for Ole Miss to not be able to move on.

It's back to what Saban said initially, the calendar needs to be changed. He said it should match the school calendar, but with the season now extended to 15-16 games, how does that happen?

Bama fans hated the shit out of him and celebrated in the streets when he left for Ole Miss.

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

Once authored a post that critics claimed, "Was notaslibro level."

I obviously have no insider knowledge, but I believe that was exactly the plan. It was said 2 weeks ago that Keith Carter was giving the ultimatum to sign an extension, or leave after the egg bowl. That's it. I get that Keith has a duty to the school. I think Lane was done dirty and it's easy for everyone to attack him due to his rep. We all knew this would end ugly and I hope it ends ugly in LsU too. Fuck all of em.

he must be incredibly stupid if he thought ole miss would just let him keep coaching despite holding out till the last minute to let them know he's running to LSU. Sorry
Yep. I'm not trying to be a dick about it. It could have lived. It didn't. Not by my choice. -Elvis

I said in another thread that he seemed to have a little retard in him. Watch his interviews after a game with the sideline reporter. His can't quit moving his right hand. He uses it for emphasis after nearly every sentence. And he just talks weird to me.
Well, shit...

This is who he is.

Twitter theatrics, immature bullshit, and textbook narcissism.

Al Davis held a press conference to tell everyone what a piece of shit Kiffin was. Leaves Tennessee in the middle of the night. Hated at USC and fired on the tarmac. Fired by Saban on the eve of a National Championship game for being completely disinterested and focused on FAU.
