yeah i mean i get what your saying.
This is my thought. There will be a tipping point where he becomes undesirable. Because with a guy like kiffin, he comes with baggage and you have to decide whether the cost of the baggage is worth the potential.
I agree that Florida is still a good job in terms of being able to field a talented team.
| season | Florida | Mississippi |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 7 | 27 |
| 2022 | 14 | 22 |

Kiffin may have success at Florida, but I see him nothing like Spurrier. Spurrier was far more innovative - he forever changed how football was played in the SEC. He was cocky and brash, but he backed it up, whereas Kiffin hasn't won sh*t. He had the gravitas because he won the Heisman, while Kiffin was a nepo baby. And he's not as socially awkward as Lane.
For arguements sake:
Thats true. My point was that the criteria to be selected as one of the 12 playoff teams is the exact same as the criteria used to be selected as one of the 12 teams to play in a NY6 bowl, per the committee. But to your point, it does add pressure now that its a playoff spot and who knows if that effects the team differently in 2021 or 2023.
This is the rumor. Knox is transferring from California to Oxford HS next year. Kiffin's daughter is currently at sophomore at OM.
Yeah I think its pretty much a done deal as long as Lane stays in Oxford. That mega house he's building in Oxford is almost done. The rest of the family, his mom and brother, are in Oxford already. Knox is already on a 7 on 7 team based out of Oxford. Now is he worth a damn? I have no clue.
He is already undesirable enough that he is unacceptable to several of the schools that have jobs that would be considered an upgrade to him.
Same kid that shoots the fire extinguisher? I thought he was like 9 years old?
"Last Dance" was a really bad marketing decision on two fronts:
They will have to use the portal to reload in 2025. The portal is expensive. And with them losing so much, they might have to spend $20 million just to have a roster comparable to 2024.Current depth chart with who all they loose after this year.

I don't think anyone knows. Heck, even Kiffin's name is just speculation. But other names I've seen mentioned include Lance Leipold, Eli Drinkwitz & James Franklin. Maybe they look at the SMU coach. Bottom line though is the difference in the Mississippi job and the Florida job is you can win multiple national titles at one school and you can't win one at the other.
Another way to look at it - the only people to have ever won big there are Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer.
I improved your post by deleting text that is unnecessary and arguably implies that UM has legitimate national championships in football prior to desegregation. Your welcome.
Have you ever been to Gainesville? There isnt a beach there. If Kiffin lived in Gainesville he would go to the beach in Miami, same as he does now; only his plane would be in the air an hour and a half longer.
It's not going to be about making the playoffs, it's going to be about winning a championship. Things may change because of NIL and the 12 team playoff, but the gap between being in the top 12 versus a championship team has been pretty large. I doubt there's been a team outside of the top 5 in the BCS of CFP era that could have legitimately competed for a championship if it required beating two of the top four teams.
If offered, Kiffin will crawl on broken glass to Gainesville. He'd be at Auburn right now if that whole thing hadn't gotten leaked ahead of time.
you could or did... not sure that can be said now. Florida hasnt shown to be able relevant at all in the NIL/Portal era. OM has shown to be way ahead of florida in this era... which is all that really matters.
Who has won big at Ole Miss during that same time? And I'm not picking on Ole Miss......the answer is the same at MSU and 80% of programs out there - NOBODY. And even Spurrier and Meyer didn't win big the entire time they were there. There aren't many Sabans out there, most championship coaches have a run, then fall off. And some just have one lucky year.
I think some of you have contracted an illness similar to Trump Derangement Syndrome. Yall really need basketball to go well this season.
I'm not an Internet bet with strangers guy, but if I knew you'd pay up, I'd be tempted. Do you seriously think Mississippi will win a national championship before Florida wins their next one?
you should change your handle to msdelusionalreb. I understand the odds are very high that it's already taken though.
I think one has just as good of a chance as the other at this point.
And again, even the delusional fans aren't trying to convince themselves that it's somehow easier to win at Ole Miss.
You want to look at UM coaches? Orgeron won a national championship at LSU, his high point was 4 wins at Ole Miss. Made it 3 seasons. Nutt started off great. Lasted four seasons and ended up suing Ole Miss and Huge Freeze for libeling him. Hugh Freeze? Made it 5 seasons but even after cheating enough to get them hammered by an investigation and a slap on the wrist in penalties, went 5-7. Luke made it three seasons.
OK. I agreed he wanted to win one? But he's also won one.
That with kiffin leaving they could get into a situation like we are currently in.
No one outside of Bear Nation really believes Ole Miss can be a contender and most UF fans will say he did a hell of a job at Ole Miss and think what he could do here. That's just another way they could view it.
No they wont. Florida has the money the population/market viewers and is a talent rich state Its not comparable to Mississippi
UF is in the group with Alabama, LSU, UGA, Texas, Oklahoma, Tenn, Auburn and A&M that will fire a coach for losing 3-4 games a year.
Exactly. The buyout wont matter. They think they can win it all with the right coach. Kiffin is on the short list for that.
