The issue is not Kiffin. I'm not heartbroken he's not coming. I'm not sure I wanted him.

But we were supposedly willing to pay him around 2 million? I can understand wanting to be a head coach, but to make less than one THIRD of what you could have made as LSU OC?

Something is rotten either from the LSU side or from the gump side. I would not be surprised if LK is getting some under-the-table checks from Tuscaloosa to supplement his income in return for him staying away from LSU.

Meanwhile, seems like the O and Joe show is getting played right and left.

Kiffin doesn't want a boss. No amount of money can change that for someone who doesn't need it.

Plus getting under the table REC money. Does anybody really think Saban was going to let him come to LSU?

This is a frickin joke. But seriously, if he wants to get a big time HC job, he is going to have to prove he isn't going to act like an idiot being the head guy. The only way he can do that is take a job like FAU.

Not surprising since this deals with understanding money matters.

The responders so far are from the large segment of rantards that hold down the third shift at the Dairy Queen.

This.

Take a pay cut now so he can get a big time HC gig in a couple of years if he does really well at FAU (with no expectations).

Our fan base is such an embarrassment sometimes.

maybe LK learned in some of the interviews that he needs to do more as a head coach.

Or maybe he wants full control and is tired of being an OC.

you are one paranoid son of a gun. do you wear your tin foil hat regularly? are you 12 years old?

I have been around for many, many coaching searches, mostly assistants of course. each search is different but the ONLY thing unusual about our OC search is the people on this board. people make shite up and then get upset and melt when it doesn't happen. i'm beginning to think that LSU has some sick fans.

all of the whining, bitching, name calling and conspiracy theories are mind boggling. I don't want any of you young bastards working for me. i'll go with people that are more level headed.

No mystery. Rehab 101:
1) get OC job to re enter coaching.
2)get HC job at largest school possible.
3) win.
4) get job and money as HC major school.

LSU was 1A) get out from under Sabin for 1 or 2 years and go to step 2.

do you have a link to what his contract is at FAU?

I think Aranda is making 1.815 so why would Kiffin make 200k more?

FAU is to Kiffin as Houston was to Herman. Just a stepping stone to a bigger program.

I am not a Bama fan, but really?
