You can see it coming.

I always try to leave well when I change jobs and I haven't done it much.

Oakland - left badly
Tennessee - left really, really badly
USC - left badly, pulled off the team bus and fired right after a game
Bama - Saban doesn't want him anymore. Apparently Saban has had enough of something

How many flashing red lights and sirens do you need to just stay the hell away???

I think as an OC great hire and probably the best OC for LSU in a long time but the off the field issues are the red flags. Think about it with so many HC jobs coming open including bottom feeder in P5 like Purdue and IU why is he not getting mentioned at all. Especially after the job he has done at UA.

We thought he would only be at UA for 2 years but we got 3. He took a recruited athlete that was slotted for RB and made us a playoff contender year 1. Took a QB they was on the bench at FSU and could not beat out the athlete the year prior at UA and we won a NC. And now this year with a TF. But yet may leave the team prior to being a part of a NC team for a lateral move. Some concerns need to be raised in my opinion.

The one plus may be if Kiffin lands in the swamp former UA QB B Barnett(a 5 star) may follow him there.

I'm not discrediting him at all. I don't want him for the simple fact that we'll be replacing him in a year in all likelihood.

Bama doesn't want him back, for starters

if this is true. WTF would we offer 2 million(ish)?

I don't trust him.

but, if he is hired i'll support him because of what you said (I agree with it). BUT, I would bet my bottom dollar that 2 years is the max with him. I fear he'll disrupt the coaching staff and probably try to stab coach O in the back. like I said, I don't trust him.

And now you probably can count his departure from Bama as another case of leaving badly - right before the playoffs. Kirby coached through the playoffs, but Kiffin hits the door.

I guarantee you Kiffin will try to flip as many players as he can to LSU just as he did when he departed Tennessee.

If I were an AD I wouldn't want him part of my program and if I were a father I wouldn't want my son playing for him.

He is a man of poor character.
