Mike Elko ever win anything? Cignetti ever win anything? Did Ryan Day or Kirby Smart win anything prior to getting their jobs?
20 years is a pretty good sample size....that's what Kiffin has had - and again, he's been at 3 other colleges besides Ole Miss and the NFL....and has won nothing.
And the big money folks have gone ALL IN for him at Ole Miss. Cignetti is at INDIANA...took him less than 2 years...AT INDIANA. They never gave a shite about football....that comparison really makes Kiffin look bad actually.
Neither Day nor Smart have a 20-year track record at 4 different schools of not ever getting over the hump, so again I don't see that comparison as valid....the look they never won anything before they went there....well....it's because they didn't have all the same opportunities.
Kiffin would be best off staying at Ole Piss, it fits him, it suits him....he can go 9-3 bust out clever tweets and be the social media darling and that's good enough there. Here - it would go over the same as it is for BK right now.

Lane would have us competitive. He has proven he can compete in the SEC and seems to have matured some over the past few years.
One side of the ball would excel under him. That is not even debatable.
Now, who else would we want that has proven he can run a program and can manage offense or defense on his own?

That OU defensive front is going to be the best defensive front Ole Miss sees all season. Ole Miss better pray that Mateer continues to struggle with his velocity & accuracy from his hand surgery. If not, they have no shot Saturday in Norman.
The Egg Bowl is a rivalry game where craziness occurs. State is very capable of upsetting Ole Miss especially since the game is in Starkville.

Because Lane Kiffin coached teams are actually still enjoyable to watch even if they lose 2-3 games a year.

1. Hire Kiffin
2. Pay to keep Baker
3. Hire Moffit from aTm
WIN WIN WIN

Because he's winning 72% of his games at Ole fricking Miss, a program that was under .500 since integration before he arrived.

He has Ole Miss as a consistent winner. Got them to the Sugar Bowl for only the second time since the Vaught era.

Ole Miss wa a 6-6 program that he turned into a 10-2, at worst 9-3 program. LSU ceiling is higher than Ole Miss. He would be a much better coach than BK.

Ole miss doesnt have a path to a natty.. LSU does. Kiffin has reached the ceiling in Oxford.
I hope he doesn’t land in Gainesville.. oof

Ole Miss is a perennial loser. Maybe not a celar dweller but not historically great.
The problem with this line of thinking is the college game is not what it was 5 years ago. It's mainly about the money. Ole Miss was one of the first schools to figure out NIL. Just about every Ole Miss fan I know contributes to their NIL. Just about every LSU fan I know don't give anything. Now I don't know if these lower level givesr make much a difference, but they also have a lot of heavy hitters helping with NIL.
You just can't say because a school has been historically bad or great will continue under this new college football model. Ole Miss is paying him a nice salary and probably can't match an offer.

Historically Ole Miss has not been as relevant as LSU
Kiffin is 2-2 against CBK at what is considered an inferior program most years
Hiring Lane Kiffin at LSU does multiple things that benefit our program, and perhaps most importantly steals him from one of our permanent opponents. He definitely knows offensive football and could do great things here. Ole Miss isn't likely to upgrade from him so that's another added benefit of the acquisition. We also run the risk of letting UF poach him. They aren't on our permanent rotation anymore but it's still another SEC program.

He's not a winner, he's a whiner. And a bit of a jerk. We can do better.

That doesn’t refute the fact that the most successful programs in the last 5-6 years are schools who hired completely unproven Head Coaches.

Freeze was a 5 loss coach, next coach was a 7 loss coach. Lane is at 3.6 losses and making Ole Miss relevant. I don't know what coach "fits" over here because the previous 3 were all insanely different. I would like to see a younger type like Lanning, or Kiffin (50 isn't that young) but he's young at heart.

Wow, that was aggressive! Are you shocked that LSU recruits better than Ole Miss? Really? That's like me saying look at Bama's recruiting classes compared to Auburns' recruiting classes. Bama recruits better than Auburn. I would also point out that, while we may have recruited better than him, it hasn't helped in the win/loss column, which was my main point of showing the records. He clearly has a team that isn't as talented as LSU while at the same time has better results. I do think he is an elite talent evaluator/recruiter and his record clearly shows that. We talk about how awful the LSU talent level was when BK arrived, which it was, and if that is the case, what do you think Ole Miss was like when he arrived? The 3 years prior to his arrival they were 6-6, 5-7 and finished 4-8 the year before he arrived. Do you think he started with a full deck? Again, I do think he is an elite recruiter and that doesn't have to mean that he gets a million 5 star players to be an elite recruiter. Part of recruiting is being able to evaluate and find talent. His starting QB, the one who absolutely dominated us, was a 3 star that came from Ferris State!

I personally like Drinkwitz at Missouri.
I have liked him as well. I would hope he would be on a list whenever this job opens up. But I know Woodward wants a "Name" so not sure that he will be given the same look as others. I would not be shocked if he lands an opening this go round if Florida cannot lure Kiffin.

Wasn't trying to refute that in any way, my take was that this is in no way related to Kiffin because he's never won anything of significance in 20 years at 5 different stops in his career. Those coached did succeed as unproven coaches at their first real stop....Kiffen has not over several steps.
That was my point not to say unproven head coaches could not succeed. This thread is on Kiffin so I was just backing my opinion that Kiffin and these guys have little or nothing in common.

This is a myth and a lie.
Ole Miss’ NIL Collective has been Top Ten in the nation the last 2 years. Above LSU, Georgia, and Alabama.

I'll say this, he had more talent than LSU last year - without question and he lost.
