quote:If you really must go wake up snakes from the past then consider Orgeron's Ole Miss debacle: 3-21, fighting with coaches, players, media, and beserk profanity. Then there are the firings of Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick. USC received historic NCAA sanctions from violations under Pete Carroll while Kiffin was head coach. The sanctions came six months after Kiffin took the job and included a two-year postseason ban and a loss of 30 scholarships over three seasons. Kiffin went 28–15 under those conditions. Pete Carroll and Belichick are now coaching giants in spite their many failures. Get over it.
Kiffin ??? Legacy hire ??? Seriously ??? Ha Ha Ha Ha !!! He has been fired from every HC he has held except Tennessee because he left after one year and now FAU and he has only been there one year.
Dr. John Kelly, Florida Atlantic University's president, strides proudly into a raucous postgame locker room with the game ball tucked high and tight, just the way Lane Kiffin coaches his players to do.
Kiffin is lauded by President John Kelly, the ex-Clemson VP, for his Swinney effect. If had known this I would have hired him sooner. Kelly says that Kiffin has transformed the entire University in every way, academically, donor support, 35% increase in enrollment, 130% increase in attendance, and given the FAU untold millions in advertising, recruiting, and Kelly is committed to making FAU a Top Tier athletic program. Kiffin is expected to be the highest paid Coach outside of the P5.
Kiffin's impact has transcended football. Kelly told ESPN earlier this month that FAU's out-of-state applications for the 2018 fall semester were up 35 percent.
"And we haven't done anything else differently, so it has to be Lane," Kelly said. "He just gets it, both as a football coach and being able to attract attention to our university. I laugh just about every day at something he puts on Twitter and understand that he's about the good of the institution and is thinking about what appeals to a 17-year-old kid and not a 60-year-old guy."
Kiffin: Positive Effects of an A+ Home Run Coaching Hire and a successful Football Program
Kiffin - One of the most Compelling Figures in College Football
Out-of-State Enrollment up 35% - Main Campus 30,800 (this is more than LSU BR...FAU is growing and LSU is shrinking)
Attendance at Games up 150% - 2.5x the revenue
Recruiting - Top ranked C-USA class
Huge increase in Donor Support
Top Faculty Hires
ESPN in town and covering games = millions in free media coverage
Live TV and Social Media Coverage for Games
Dynamic Offense: 3rd highest Scoring Avg in nation
2nd Longest Win Streak in the Nation
Coaching: "Coach Kiffin has made us all believe," FAU senior running back Buddy Howell says. "People see all the stuff on Twitter, but he's about his business on the field. He's not going to keep you roped up. He's going to let you be who you want to be as long as you're on your game, on your details and taking coaching. He just wants to win, but he makes you comfortable. Everybody is comfortable with being themselves and isn't scared to go out there and execute. Sometimes, guys get uptight and play uptight, but not here and not with Coach Kiffin.

Okay, will be easy to get over Kiffin NOT being a legacy coach.

He was also fired on the airport tarmac one season removed from being the first head coach since the 1960's to finish unranked after starting the season as the #1 ranked team.
Kiffin had gone 4-7 in his last 11 games before giving way to Coach Eaux who took the same players, coaches, admin, etc and went 5-2 in the meat of the schedule.
I feel bad for you if you really believe Lane Kiffin belongs on your list:
"Kiffin, Saban, Patterson, Meyer, Swinney"
A list of five coaches. Three have won national championships and one is the frequently-fired Lane Kiffin. Weird !!!
