Kiffin to auburn
- Thread starter Dontworryboutit23
- Start date
Really? I didn’t see that, but I guess somebody published the story before they were suppose to
Auburn would be a lateral move at best IMO. The boosters control that program
Is Lane Jimmy Sexton's client? If so, this is just Jimmy working his magic and spreading false rumors. Look for Ole Miss to offer a new contract extension any day.
Latteral move? How many NC and Conference Titles does Ole Miss have since 1990. I am not a AU fan but Ole Miss is not on the same level as AU. The right hire at AU would leave Ole Miss in the dust after 1 season. Ole Miss cannot out recruit or out spend AU if they start winning again.
Seems to be more upside potential with Auburn. That being said, he can win at Ole Miss I think, but the modern FB track record at AU is just better.
Under the right coach, AU can be a "big-three" counterpart to Bama and LSU in the west in the present SEC configuration
When we pick up Tex and OU, it will be important for AU to have a marquee coach to not get pressed into a mid-tier status in the new-SEC.
Smart move for both Kiffen and AU IMO.
GBB!

Yes, Auburn has had a couple of special seasons the last 18-20 years but they have lost 47 games since their 2013 national championship appearance.
I think Kiffin can win at Ole Miss.
Kiffin is a great play caller, average to a little above average recruiter. But let's not forget he left UTjr after 1 season basically pulled a Petrino, was fired at the airport from USC and had to find a way home, relieved of duties as OC at Bama before NC game and left USF at first opportunity. Yes he has helped OM to get respectable, at a time when 4 teams were struggling and Vandy was their crossover opponent. He is a better plsycaller than Gus, but Lane has never won anything.
Combine that to him telling his agent he will take a payout to be the next coach at Bama, or to get back to the NFL. AU is rumored to be ready to pay 12m per year and 15m NIL per year. So expect your price of treated lumber to skyrocket.

Of course they do, but no where had a booster like AU had who ran the athletic department. It was a banker named Louder, not sure about spelling, who ran it for years, now it's the guy who owns Yellar wood. A company that treats and sells lumber.
I hope Kiffin is smart and refuses to go somewhere that don't give a shit about him.
What happened to Texas A&m and their coach could happen to Lane Kiffin. You best stay where you wanted for life.
If you're Ole Miss and you lose Lane kiffin I would just hire a bullshit high School coach for $100,000. Go lose your 11 games and collect your 50 million from the SEC network. If all the bottom level teams do this exact thing there won't be a league worth watching.
The big name teams want to take the all the coaches from the teams that have historically sucked then the teams that historically suck will really historically suck on purpose. No sense in spending $10 million on the coach just spend $100,000 and be done with it. Recruit locally and don't even worry about making a good team. Make the worst team you possibly can save as much money as you possibly can and collect your 50 million dollars from Sec network. Repeat every year.
Just be there to get a check.
There's no sense in paying big money to a coach that is going to take off on you and there's no sense and giving money to players that are just going to take off on you.
Shut off the checkbook and suck on purpose. Send the fans a check from that 50 million dollar SEC network income that every team gets.

I worked for over 20 years for a law firm in Birmingham. I could not believe how much influence the man that owned the firm had with Alabama football.
So we have a reason to throw stones losing possibly three games we thought were in the bag, including OM.

LSU, Florida, Pre-Saban Bama and Tennessee all have been booster driven to shambles.. it just means more
Yes he is.
Jimmy doing work! If he tricked Barney into paying Stoops for this disaster imagine what he's going to get for Lane?
Auburn is a cesspool. Since Ralph Jordan, Pat Dye left as a result of investigation and every other coach has been fired. Tubbwrville’s 9 years is the most any coach has lasted. Lane would be a fool to take that job, IMO.
But Lane is loyal to nobody. He would take the job and shop around for a better offer. Maybe they deserve each other.
The way he has, does and will piss off TN fans makes him OK by me.
Or not-
espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/35102741/ole-miss-lane-kiffin-says-expects-return-rebels-coach
He’s waiting on Saban to retire because he wants the Bama job. He won’t take Auburn, he knows that would keep him from EVER being the Tide HC.
I think this may be what Kiffin is thinking. Although, losing at home to Miss State isn't very impressive for his resume.
But, I was also under the impression that Dabo Swinney was the unofficial coach in waiting for Bama when the job does open up.
Has that plan been scuttled or has Bama cooled their interest in Swinney?
"Expects" is the key word here. Intentionally open ended. Certainly not the firm wording of someone who isn't exploring other options.
Sounds like that early report maybe threw the deal into flux.
