Jeff Grimes is now a major target. I had to look the guy up.

 

[patdog]

Cohen could do us a solid if he hires Kiffin.

[Dawgg]

Well that pretty much guarantees it isn't Kiffin.

 

[kired]

Which means it absolutely will not be Kiffin. Did Cohen ever hire his first rumored target?

I found some secret video of Marcello consulting with his sources at Auburn.

Spoiler: Sources

 

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

Hell anyone can play the name game.
I’m going to throw out Freeze AND Bill O’Brien as names to watch.

Pine Box part II. Electric boogaloo

That rumor's been floating around as long as the Harsin being fired rumors.

It has.

Wait...Cohen is our Trojan Horse?

Top 5 use of a gif on this board all time.

Marsala is a good chicken dish.

 

[Shmuley]

Pretty big risk for Kiffin to get in bed with the biggest bunch of 17'd in the head, bipolar drama queens this side of Oxford. Imagine finding an even more fickle, prima-donna assemblage of 17wads than Mississippi. If he flips to AU and fails, he's likely had his last big-time gig. I think he waits for a better offer.

 

[HumpDawgy]

I believe Joe Moorhead deserves another shot in the SEC. Pull the trigger, John!

 

[Cantdoitsal]

The only thing I'm worried about is Saturday Night. Sometimes players get extra motivated when their coach is fired mid season and sometimes they throw in the towel. I bet Las Vegas has spies out monitoring AU Locker Room Attitude.

If I'm Kiffin I would just as soon stay at OM until a better job comes available. I wouldn't be surprised to see him take another shot at the NFL.

 

[Ranchdawg]

Not saying I believe him

Well, last time a school hired our AD he took our coach with him. I'm hoping that doesn't happen this time.

 

[Preacher Franklin]

Lane would love the Tampa Bay Buc job. He does not especially enjoy recruiting at all.

Is there a better job than one that has you tooling around the campus at Ole Miss? I mean, seriously?
(I really want to add these ****, but I think the question is legit.)

- Why would Lane Kiffin leave Oxford for anything other than a ****-TON of money? He's already had a prestige job(s) at this point.

He's got it made in Oxford: he's winning, and will likely never be in danger of losing his job for having a bad season or several of them.

I think this is probably right. But I think Kiffin at least gets an eye popping contract out of this.

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

He is going after Joe Judge or Matt Rhule

 

[GloryDawg]

They will just hire another cock sucker.

 

[Negative Waves]

Kiffin will jump to Auburn if given the right offer. Power 5 coaches have egos the size of Texas, so worrying about boosters isn't going to go to be an issue in his mind. He'll think he can control/steer them in the direction he wants to go. Auburn won a Natty last decade. They do have a higher ceiling than Ole Miss. Plus, Kiffin gets a chance to stick it to Saban even more.

Saban rebuilt Lane.

Kiffin will wait on saban to die or retire from Alabama. He will stay comfy in Oxford.

my guess is auburn will hire somebody nobody expects.

Mullen to Lincoln
Kiffin to Norman
Freeze to Auburn
Deion to Northern Miss

Why not?

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Saban rebuilt Lane.

Can you imagine the media hype if he went to Auburn and the matchup with Saban that would happen for the Iron Bowl with those two head as coaches?

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Kiffen knows the territory, let's see if he bites.
Should he go, it just show how un-loyal he is .
OM gave him a chance to get back into the Big Time college ranks.
Let's see what happens.
Either way, HE will still be on our schedule.

It would be monumental for sure. Lane respects the hell out of Saban and greatly appreciates his mentorship.

 

[Tomas Smid]

Kiffin will be a top target for any P 5 openings.

 

[Grover777]

Lane won’t be in Oxford next season

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Lane's not leaving!!!

I brought this up a couple of weeks ago and was chastised for even suggesting such an outrageous idea!

I was asked what could he could not get in Oxford?

I learned to be quiet while the exspurts are talking.

Right on, If you can’t see the financial difference between auburn and ole miss, put the dunce cap on



kiffin to auburn is a done deal

 

[Preacher Franklin]

John will spin it ... LMAO

Year 3 of me hearing this. Fact is, there aren't many jobs that have any realistic chance of hiring Kiffin and Auburn is borderline at best. If I'm Cohen, I go after him 100% with all I've got. But Lane's no dummy. He knows what a cluster-17 Auburn is. And he won't even consider leaving for Nebraska or Arizona St. Wisconsin is another borderline job that's open.

I never necessarily said it was going to be Auburn, but you know how crazy it gets around here by the time we get near December.

So who else has what it takes to make him leave Oxford?
