So Glad We Didn't Get Kiffin

Nothing personal and I don't like the Gumps. But, if your Kiffin, you don't allow this to go down if you have a shred of influence. Saban gave the guy a chance to rehab his career. He owed the man his best effort for another week. Glad he and his drama are heading to Florida

Can't stand him it was the best Christmas present I've ever had! We made out well

Glad we didn't get Kiffin because he likely would have been one and done here and off to the first available HC job. I'm much happier with Canada. At least he'll probably stay for two or three years, and maybe longer. Frick Lane Kiffin. I hope he falls flat on his face at FAU.

He is very immature and a jerk to boot. He has shown his posterior the last month. Saban had enough.

From a good ESPN article:
ESPN Article:
When late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis fired Lane Kiffin four games into his second season as coach in 2008, Davis said Kiffin had "conned me and conned all of you people."
When former USC athletic director Pat Haden fired Kiffin five games into his fourth season as the Trojans' coach in 2013, Kiffin was famously left behind on a tarmac at a private airport near LAX.
And let's face it: Kiffin is about the only coach who could be fired from a job that he'd already quit.
Even more than that, Kiffin's undoing was caused by what had often doomed him in the past: his immaturity and mouth.
Kiffin told SI reporter Pete Thamel even though he was one of the sport's highest-paid assistants with an annual salary of $1.4 million, he really didn't make that much after paying taxes and alimony to his ex-wife.
"I make [about] 9 percent and I'm living in Tuscaloosa," Kiffin told SI.
Later in the SI article, Kiffin complained about Saban's 7:30 a.m. staff meetings and having to live in Tuscaloosa away from his three children.
"This will come across wrong," Kiffin told SI. "But it's like dog years. Three years is like 21."

He IMHO has always been a POS and probably always will be. And I know the fraternity of coaches is littered with some unsavory characters but I think this guy at the top of that class.
I too am glad circumstances worked out where he's not a Tiger.

Reminds me of the Johnny Manziel of college head coaches. He's a disaster waiting to happen.
Posted on 1/3/17 at 1:34 am to mikecno
Never wanted him. He scares me.
Posted on 1/3/17 at 2:07 am to mikecno
C'mon man!I would have been the head coach at LSU before Kiffen.

I 100% agree. What happened last week and what caused him to get the Satan axe shows how much of a sack of crap he is and why he deserves to fail for the rest of his career.

Honestly, at the time between Nov 27 and it Canada entered discussions, I wouldn't have complained if Kiffin had been hired.
I glad it ended the way it did, so far.
But with recruiting looking like it did with our 2 QBs and Akers, and a couple others, yeah... wouldn't have complained. Turns out it wouldn't have had an effect on Akers at all, but we didn't know that then.

I'm trying to figure out why you people can't take Saban and Kiffin at their word. Kiffin couldn't concentrate on his current job and his new job at the same time. Like Kiffin said he will still have input on the game and I'd bet he will surely be in Tampa and maybe even on the sideline.
FWIW this happens in the real world all the time. People that put in 2 week notices are let go on the date of the notice and paid for the 2 weeks very frequently for the exact same reasons that Saban and Kiffin both talked about.

If he had came to LSU and this had happened, the media firestorm and egg on faces would be unmeasurable! We dodged a big bullet, this would have devastated our recruiting.

Kiffin is crazy as an s-house rat.
Posted on 1/3/17 at 2:52 pm to mikecno
The state of FL will have Beever Teeth, Richt, Strong, Fisher and Kiffin recruiting the trails!

Already proving his reverse career path ends ugly in Boca.

Like Coach Orgeron said, "Things are going to happen the way they are supposed to".
That's why he went after Matt Canada.
