Alleva needs to step in and tell O to give Kiffin a deadline.

Why? Teams frequently fill these roles later in January if not after signing day.

You realize all this Kiffin stuff exists in your head, right? Who says we're even talking to him? People on here are insane.

The only thing it could possibly affect is recruiting, and they're about to enter the dead period.

There's no sense in rushing it at this point.

Impossible to know. I'd highly doubt that Orgeron has not reached out to him at some point.

Why Alleva? You mean Alleva doesn't have confidence in O to run his own coaching search? Then why the hell did he hire him?

Yeah...when Kiffin leaves, it's gonna be Bill Battle issuing deadlines and dictates.

The answer to this is literally in the title of the thread.

Kiffin will take a huge shite on our football program if he is hired here. The fact that we finally got rid of les and cam and we plug O and Kiffin in is really sad.

Orgeron owns Alleva. O would tell Alleva to go get his fricking shinebox if he tried to do that.

Do most Bama fans still think O and Kiffin aren't close? They talk at least once a week. If not directly, he talks to O's kids. That's a fact.

I don't care if people think he's not coming here but it's hilarious some people mock the idea of the two being extremely close.

Yeah, I just edited. Doesn't matter. It speaks volumes about the Orgeron hire if Alleva does that.

Exactly. LSU fans are freaking out because we haven't lost a coach so early in the year and it's thrown the timing all off. In fairness, though, it also does appear that the not-knowing has for the moment cost us a pretty big QB commitment and may be preventing us from closing the deal on a really good RB as well.

It wa the LSU fan suggesting there wasn't a connection between the two parties.

There really is no point right now. By Monday, it'll be the Dead Period in Recruiting

The level of impatience, insecurity, and commitment to unfounded rumors on this board is unparalleled.

It sucks, but getting the right coaches in place is of far more value than any one or two or three recruits. Wait till the bowl games end and the NFL season wraps and the staff will start coming together pretty quickly. There's not too much recruiting happening between now and then anyway.

Many teams don't make a formal announcement because it gives the head coach additional recruiting visits, however the hire is typically a done deal and recruits are told who their coach will be, albeit with a "wink, wink".

In this case, however, O really needs to solidify the identity of the team since no one has a clue at this point what type of offense will emerge. I'd say, in this particular instance, he needs to get this done.

This is the downside to social media, message boards and the like. People can check 24/7 and think these things should be decided NOW!

The dead period in recruiting starts this weekend. Then the staff will be doing Bowl prep. There is no need to name an OC until after the Bowl.
