That only shows that Kiffin was likely the #1 target. It also shows that we were looking at and talking to other candidates, should our #1 target fall through, since an announcement the day after Kiffin is gone would be impossible otherwise.

So what is the issue with having a top target, looking at other options, and moving on them if #1 goes elsewhere?

Is the simple fact that LSU didn't get their first target the source of all the misery and perception that LSU is a dumpster fire? That seems...dramatic.

The drama comes from the perception that we were basically just waiting around for Kiffin to exhaust all HC options, and in the meantime, we were losing QB recruits because of no OC or QB coach

if we hire Canada or another promising OC, I'm perfectly happy with the OC search

What's idiotic is that the anti O people are claiming that Orgeron got this job because he promised he'd get Kiffin


No one believes that but I do believe he used it as a selling point within the binder of doom.

If he wasn't, just about every media outlet had absolutely no clue. I mean, everyone would have to be completely fricking lost on this situation. And before you even say anything, no, this is not the same as polls. This was simple information about who we we wanted to hire as an offensive coordinator.

Also, the timing of the Canada info is all too convenient.

Don't be a blind sheep. You know Kiffin was our target.

Not sure this is easily avoidable when you're targeting coaches that are likely HC targets at other schools. It's the nature of being at a school that goes after people with that kind of resume.

Recruits will have time to make their minds up once an OC is hired. Ultimately, it would be no different than hiring an OC immediately and recruits bolting due to the choice.

The thing that I find hillarious is that random people with
"sauces" have said Kiffin was the guy. The people that believe this are the ones who've chastised everyone else with "sauces". This cycle is so stupid.

well....I don't think that is how if happened, I think O helped his friend by leaking the LSU interest for leverage and once Kiffin got a job, O went after his real targets...

well you have some people close to O claiming he said he was coming, so more than likely Kiffin being Kiffin used his buddy than it was O helping him out.

It's not irrelevant because people think he had Kiffin in the freaking binder. Lol

That seems a bit far-fetched. I'm sure someone will run with that as being fact just because it was posted, though.

If that's true, then we were always looking at others and were never "sitting around" waiting for Kiffin to exhaust all options. I'm not sure why interest from LSU to be our OC would entice a school like FAU to grab him anymore than him being OC at Bama.
