Never have to worry about QB or the offense.
Seems to be getting better and better and has matured.
Has Ole Miss competing with the likes of Georgia and headed to the CFB playoff.
Would be a much needed shot to the arm for the fan base.

He has shown he can score on great defenses in the SEC.

I like how he can lose a QB and still put up points.

I think he would crush it at LSU. I don't care what he does at Ole Miss.

What has anyone else done to win you over?

I’ll say Ole Miss won’t ever win a National Championship as long as Lane is there. He will get them as close as they can ever get, but it won’t be enough. They’ll have a year like Indiana, Notre Dame, or Penn State last year, but will never get over the hump.

Very average coach. Decent teams but nothing that makes me think he’d work here

His teams have energy
Play every play full speed
Hustle
Exciting
Fun to watch
Unpredictable
Never know what's next

I guess you are happy with
Predictable
Excuses
Play the old style no turn over boring offense

If we’re to hold people accountable for their actions, Kiffin should be avoided

Left Tennessee in the lurch. USC fired him before getting on the plane home. He drank a lot. He philandered a lot. He was generally regarded as an a-hole.

Why is that acceptable now?

He was nothing special before spending time in Alabama at the Nick Saban Coaching Rehab Clinic. He’s a much better coach now as a result of that and so much better than his time at USC.

You think that a very average Coach could turn a basement dweller like Ole Miss into a contender? Were you born dumb or did you just become that way?

I don't want kiffin at all. Talks a big game but doesn't back it up. And why does he feel the need to troll people and try to big time them. What an a'*hole. We just got rid of one...no Kiffin, please!

Very average coach
If there's one thing he's not, it's "average"

Lane Kiffin is the football version of Tony Stark- absolute genius, enormous frickup. He could destroy any opposing scheme, as long as he stayed focused.

IF he's matured to the point to where he takes the job seriously- and it appears he finally has- he could go on an amazing run at a major program.

Agree. The guy has no skins on the wall as HC. The most he can say is a loss in a non-playoff Sugar Bowl.

Dumb calls on fourth down, teams with lots of penalties, off field drama, Twitter foolishness.

Do not want.
