Why Kiffin would leave Bama

quote:

Saban assts are underperforming

Which ones?

Dantonio made it to the playoffs last year and is considered one of the top 15 coaches in the country.

Fisher has won a national title and was LSU first choice to replace Miles.

McElwain just won the east in back to back seasons with, essentially, no starting QB each season.

Kirby is in year one and it's too early to evaluate.

Muschamp underperformed at UF, but had a better than expected season at USCe.

Which assistants underperforming are the issue?

Damn, i hate to side with Bama fans, but i was thinking the same thing

being friends with O would be factor as well.

So to prove himself, he's going to go coach for his best friend. Makes sense, I guess.

I'd disqualify Fisher and Dantonio as that was quite a bit ago and not fresh in anyone's mind.

Mc has underperformed at UF. I don't give a shite about going to SEC look at his teams and how weak the East is. He has succeeded bc of defense He was an OC at bama and how has his offense been?

Muschamp- Awful in first head coaching gig got fired.


Smart- Pathetic first year, way worse than Richt would've done.


It's a valid assessment.

It's all about Kiffin. Nothing to do with the Saban tree. The Saban tree is what has schools interested at all. People really think these multi millionaire boosters don't know the shite show that is Lanes head coaching career? Hell to be honest, I'm not a big fan of him coming here because of his past. He's wrecked everywhere he's been other than Bama. Should tell people something. Hard to believe our fans, for the most part, have chosen to completely overlook Kiffin shady past. The guy even shite on us while at UT. He hasn't matured that much.

I think you are digging WAY too much into this. Job wise, there's not a whole hell of a lot of difference between being the OC at Bama and being the OC at LSU. The two schools are in the same conference and are able to recruit roughly the same caliber of player. He wouldn't be moving up the career ladder by coming to LSU.

So it comes down to basically one thing -- If you are going to do the SAME job at either place, wouldn't you prefer to do that job at the place where you are paid more AND you probably like your boss better? Maybe it's just me, but if my only option is being the OC at Bama or LSU, then I'm just going to go to the place who pays more and gives me a better working environment. If that's Bama, fine. If it's LSU, fine.

this is simply false.

His record as a HC in college is 35-21, while not great is a helluva a lot better than 10-25 that we just hired, and even 21-29 if we count the 2 IHC stops.

Kiffin was also extremely successful as OC at USC long before he worked with Saban. He was the OC in 2005 taking over for Norm Chow, with the same players as the they had in 2004 and the 2005 offense performed much better.

People don't like Kiffin because he is a douche and arguably got some HC gigs at too young of an age. But as an OC he's proven top notch and didn't "wreck" anything.
