re: Why are we even considering hiring Kiffin....

I want Kiffin because he's a great offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Why is everyone is so sure he'll land a job next year? He's won 3 straight SEC championships with 3 first-year starting quarterbacks and he isn't going to land a head job this year.

I don't think it's completely out of the question that Kiffin would be here 2-3 years. You just never know. Shouldn't be a reason not to hire him. News flash: Every offensive coordinator wants to be a head coach. Anyone we hire here could bolt after a year or two if he's really successful.
