Florida gets skulldrug by Miami, and Florida State is very close to going 0-2. Jimmy Sexton sez, "The Bidding starts at $20 million".
The Lane Kiffin Bidding War begins
- Thread starter HammerOfTheDogs
- Start date
***Unfortunately we are depending Loaferz & Mike Alford to make a good hire***
No. We’re hoping for them to make an obvious hire.
And who’s more obvious than Kiffin?
Everyone acts like UF is broke. They got money.
The next HC won't be hired by Loaferz. He gets fired the same day Sunbelt Billy does.
Dan could sit in his chair and recruit. He'd be a portal coach for sure.
Some of y’all have been pimping Kiffin out for every job you can think of for years. He’s not going anywhere. He has it made at Ole Miss. I only see him leaving for a true blue blood, and those type of programs aren’t going to hire Kiffin because of his trolling antics.
Florida State is about to start 0-2 before they play Clemson and go to SMU, Miami, and Notre Dame. Sheesh.
Actually, I've always said he's not leaving yet every year up until now. And he won't leave for anything but an elite job. The UF job fits that bill and the FSU job probably does, and at least one of them will be open.
In 3 months it’ll be Jeff Lebby*****
There are very few programs that would hire Kiffin. There are a few, and he is at one of them.
100% correct, and if he does leave UF would be a horrible choice if he wants to be there long term. Their fanbase and athletic department expects something they haven’t been for a long time, and even when a coach does very well he gets canned.
Since Urban:
Muschamp: Fired in the middle of his 4th season.
McElwain: Fired in the middle of his 3rd season coming off of back to back SEC championship game appearances.
Mullen: Fired in the middle of his 4th season after coming off a SEC championship game appearance and 2 New Years 6 Bowls.
Billy: Most likely will be fired in the middle of his 3rd season.
I know most coaches are arrogant and they think the can win anywhere, but I would steer clear of UF. If Lane wants to go to a bigger program in the SEC, he should wait another year until LSU runs Kelly off.
Completely insane take. There are very few programs that wouldn't hire Kiffin
The guy has more baggage than most any P5 coach I can think of. I thought the Rebs were insane to hire to guy, but he has really, really maintained composure and has done a million times better than I could’ve ever expected.
Any school that considers hiring the guy will most definitely look at his career before the bears, and it was absolutely a dumpster fire.
Sarkiesian didn't have any problem getting hired at freaking Texas. Kiffen hasn't had any issues at Mississippi at all. He will be in high demand if they meet expectations this fall.
The guy is a great coach and definitely a winner.
Everybody loves Joey Freshwater and would love to have him as their coach and bangin' their coeds.
See OM. They will throw everything they've got at him to keep him.
They will outbid or match UF and FSU and probably anyone else, including LSU.
So the only reason Joey leaves is because Joey wants to go somewhere else.

His "baggage" at this point is that he left Tennessee after just one year and didn't get along with Al Davis. His stint at SC was only considered a dumpster fire because their expectations were ridiculous at the time
I think this is way off. All but about maybe 15 schools max would trade their coach for Lane Kiffin right now if they could snap their fingers and make it happen.
15 might even be a stretch
his "baggage" is rather light.
Hes actually done nothing.
Won at UT, took a better job, happens all the time
.got fired at USC for not winning --wasnt and wont be the only coach that got fired for losing.
Didnt succeed as a college coach in the NFL-- join the list of coaches this has happened too
Started back as a coordinator at Bama. Was extremely successful.
Took HC position at a lesser school, won big, and earned himself the Ole Miss job
Built/Building Ole Miss into a program on the brink of becoming a major player in college football
Actually i dont see any baggage there... unless you dont like his social media or sideline presence-- which is way over blown....
There is no baggage in Joey's closet these days that couldn't be handled with much more than steady supply of Valtrex and Plan B.
last i checked he hasnt done anything dating wise that is wrong... but i get what your saying. That said if schools higher people like Freeze they'll line up for Kiffin. There are probably less than 10 schools that wouldnt be interested in Lane if their job were to pop open... and even that might be high.
The “15” is what he’s after. I acknowledged he’s done a great job. But, he’s a character risk and a social pariah.
He’s very much minded his P’s and Q’s in Oxford, and it will pay off some day. But jeebus, they hired the guy from Florida Atlantic…. Don’t act like you fall from USC and Tenner to FAU without a freaking reason.
If Lane goes to Florida, what are the chances Ole Miss officials elevate Arnett to interim head coach ?
LOL in this day and time, what could a winning football coach do that would be considered "wrong" ?
Arkansas just rehired Petrino. Auburn just hired Freeze. I can assure you that colleges give absolutely zero 17’s about previous behavior. And Kiffin is basically a saint compared to those two POS’s
Nope. He has something of a track record at every place he has been. There aren't many places that want that kind of distraction.
If there's one thing I've learned about major college football programs over the past few years, it's that ethical principles matter as much as other considerations.***
Defend this. Tennesse has reasonable beef with him. Who else?
He was fired from USC for not competing for national championships under probation. He was fired from the Raiders for not immediately wining at a franchise that hasn't won at a high level for over 20 years. He excelled at Bama. He excelled at FAU
