Yes. You don't chase after someone who you know will only be here one year. Have to think about continuity and the impact of being in this same position next year.

Yes.

This is the problem, and a criticism of Coach O. In a vacuum, as a single perfunctory move, hiring Kiffin is a good move. But good coaches must make hires in service of a long term strategy, not what serves him best at any particular moment in time.
