I hope we hire someone intelligent, younger, relentless, diligent, and ambitious.

I never cease to be amazed at the lust of many posters for young coaches. They really seem to like their young men.

Nick Saban would instantly break LSU’s playoff drought. I’ll take that 74 year old (or anyone of any age) any time.

Hell, I think some of you would hire a middle-schooler if it was legal just because he’s young and therefore has by definition less experience.

I will give more details via PM to an admin, with the understanding that it will not be leaked.

This is the very definition of someone who cannot be trusted with sensitive or confidential information.

You do know that they can add topics of discussion in the middle of the meeting right? Not everything is already pre-set.

Unless subject to attorney-client privilege, the additions could not be held in executive session and we’d hear about it.

You do know that he didn’t ask for this, right?

He was just rocking along and having a great season when two other schools that were not rocking along with great seasons fired their coaches and started throwing everything they have at convincing him to fix their programs.

Now he has to decide if they are offering enough to justify making the change while dealing with losers criticizing his ethics for having had the misfortune to wildly succeed and attract the attention of more lucrative programs.

The gall he has, I tell ya’!

Put yourself in such a situation and tell me you’d stay with your current employer without giving the outlandish other offers a second thought because you “dont quit on your team”.

Everyone is obsessing about Lane Kiffin and you’re out there worrying about a jersey logo?

You just keep doing you…alone.

And this “It’ll be huge with recruits” thing has gotten way out of proportion. You know what’s huge with recruits? Cash.

Do NFL teams worry about how much potential free agents would like particular uniform combos and logos?

how much blame should be put on city officials?

You think that city officials have any reason or desire to clean up da clucha? Hell…that’s their base. It’s why we have St. George.

It baffles me that they didn’t have a helicopter for the Kiffins so they could fly over the distressed neighborhood that is everything between Ryan and campus at an altitude too high for them to really see anything en route.

I don’t know about his family, but the HC will basically live at the facility and be isolated from everything else, so there’s that.

And yet Kiffin sent his family for a tour Monday…must not have been that bad of a conversation.

Easy.

He’s poised to cash in on his life’s work. He’s already doing well, of course, but he’s not likely to have another chance at this kind of a pay raise unless he can sustain what he’s doing now at OM.

Which leads to sustainability. His field is a highly competitive one. Outside of Nick Saban, not many have managed to sustain this kind of success. And there’s no job security whatsoever anywhere.

Let’s say that he stays at OM. If that happens, it’ll come with a ridiculous raise, else he has no reason to stay. Along with a ridiculous raise comes ridiculous expectations…like “win now and every year or you’re fired” expectations.

Frankly, the same kind of expectations that got BK fired.

He will have those same expectations no matter where he is because of the money he’ll be getting.

So why stay at OM if you’re going to have the same problems as you’d have anywhere else…unless OM is paying at least as much as anywhere else.

Remember…one shot at this and he could get multi-generational wealth.

That could be at OM. It could be somewhere else. Maybe he secretly hates living in Oxford.

Only he has the answer.

Choose wisely.

P.S.: Choosing LSU over UF is a no-brainer…he can actually get homeowners insurance in BR.

In this era, it’s about teams. Meaning a different team each season. Let Kiffin and his team finish this season while you search and hire your next coach.

Screw that. He’s got a team to build at his new destination, and he ain’t getting paid 8 figures to put that off so he can continue in his old gig.

Nonsense. I saw him downing shots at Fred’s telling Nuss how it’s going to be.
