I wouldn't mind seeing kiffin come to BR but, just how difficult is it to be a stud OC at BAMA? Shouldn't we be looking for someone who did more with less?

Spot on. If only he had been the offensive coordinator somewhere else then we could research that and see how he did there.

Gonna be quiet honest with you LSU had better skill player talent than Bama!!!!

The OL is the only disparity and good creative play calling helps mask it.

So no.

Kiffin is one of the best ocs in college football. Is he a douche? Sure. But he's one of the best and a great recruiter.

I'd like to have his brother on staff as well.

Kiffin has had 3 different QBs in 3 years and they have all played better than any QB LSU has had recently

and none of them were elite talents

Yup

Saban would own Kiffin

He has the luxury of ridiculous line that gets to hold and a defense that provides him so many opportunities that eventually he will have success but his playcalling is atrocious. Even Bama fans agree.

They actually would probably be better off without him. It would be a huge risk on his part to leave to go anywhere for same position.

I agree, for the most part. It's not like LSU is hurting for talent, and it's not like the past few qb's at bama, had NFL talent. Simms and Coker were average at best. I just hope Orgeron can get Kiffin.

LOL. So you would be happy with a recovering alcoholic in LOUISIANA of all places, instead of a national champion OC?

How can you be so stupid? Seriously!

Kifin has kicked arse as OC everywhere he's been.

My main worry about Kiffin is if O will be able to control him. Kiffin has always been O's boss. How much will Kiffin respect O's authority? Will O be able to dial Kiffin back when he gets too cute like Saban does?

Damn do you even really watch the games? He has his moments just like Sean Payton that you go WTF, but he is definitely not a horrible play caller like say Cam Cameron.

His playcalling ability is not a question. The problem is he's immature,he's a cheater, and he's burned down every program he's been at except Bama. He needs a heavy handed HC to babysit him and O's not going to be that guy.

Kiffin is a better x's and o's coach than O. So no worries there.

it appears to me that Kiffin was very good at QB development. sure, they were very talented but LSU has had some talent also that went bust. bama had some that did too but they always manage to have one that fills the bill.

working for Saban is tough. the man is a machine and has little, if any, human traits.

Then we should have won more games on talent alone?
