Why are we holding out to see what Kiffin "might" do?

This is just stupid. There are a number of other great coordinators who would jump at the opportunity to coach our athletes. We're putting our eggs in the Kiffin basket, meanwhile he's not shy about wanting a HC gig. We're basically his fall back option. Even if we got him, he'd be here a year and we're in the same boat next year. I also don't think O has the ability to reign in Kiffin the way Saban has done.

Holding out for Kiffin could end up biting us in the arse and we won't end up with a top notch OC.

Because your head coach, athletic director and president are incompetent.

This is a new idea that has not been discussed in numerous other threads.

At least interview some others. Let's see what Canada, Gilbert, or either briles have to say. Eaux supposedly wowed the admins with tBinder and in his meetings. Why can't that happen again?

Bc our head coach, AD, and university president are complete morons who all have their heads up their asses 24/7.

Agree. Probably after the college jobs are filled, we will have to wait for all the Pro OC jobs to get filled. I wish Orgeron would hire Canada right now and get him on campus.

Y'all really should tell him no and get someone who wants the job. What could go wrong?

Because it's the only big name willing to hitch their wagon to O. No up and coming OC wants to be tied to Orgeron.

Believe it or not, coaches aren't lining up to be part of his staff. For the record, I'm not a fan of Kiffin.

It's shocking that they can't think even slightly outside the box. They whiffed on the two coaches they wanted, so they panic and hire O.

They are going to do the same thing with Kiffin. There are dozens of OCs that would be a good hire, to focus on one guy is ridiculous.

Hell, call up Bob Stitt at Montana, just do ANYTHING other than focus on 1-2 ppl.

Weren't people complaining because we didn't wait to see what Herman was going to do?

Now there are complaints that we are waiting to see what one of the leading candidates is going to do?

"We" aren't doing anything.

Rantards pissed about hiring HC too fast

Rantards pissed about not hiring OC fast enough.

Good times on TD.

Because that is who O wants. I just hope it doesn't bite him in the arse when the dust settles. I had settled in on the hire, but now he really has me worried with QB recruitment and seemingly waiting around for Kiffin. It's not a good look.

You are correct about the fact that if we hire Kiffin there is probably a good possibility that he will be looking for a HC job next year especially if he is successful at LSU. That being said I personally feel that he is the perfect hire in that if anyone knows how to beat Bama he does. His offenses go up against Saban's defenses every single day in practice and he knows where the weakness are and who to pick on and how to scheme to beat that defense. Plus if LSU is successful with Kiffin then the reality is we will be able to hire just about any OC we want. So as much as I would hope Kiffin would stay for at least 2 years I don't if he is successful and leaves after a year while not ideal to me it is ok giving what we can learn from him.

How do you know LSU has not already made an offer to Kiffin?

It's a lose/lose proposition. You don't hold out (aka Tom Herman) Rant goes crazy. You do hold out-- Kiffin-- Rant goes crazy.

How can waiting bite us in the arse? I haven't heard of a big demand for OCs have you?

LSU fans are either dumb as shite or drama queens...we rushed to hire Orgeron but are taking too much time to hire an OC
