I think this would be a great hire and would put us ahead of the game as far as SEC coaches are concerned. This is a guy who's got "it"....yes the same "it" so many people say Gus has but Kiffin has the experience at top tier universities that Gus doesn't. I feel like he or TT should be our #1 target.

Happy remember that Callahan also attempted to bring in an offense was completely against husker tradition and recruiting base. I think it's fair to say that Kiffin won't do that.

Just tell me this.......... why would he come here

Just tell me this.......... why would he come here

That is the problem that I am having. Why only after one year are you wanting to leave the NFL? Then again, who really thought Saban was going to Bama?

[ark30inf]

Fine with me.  Would give him the chance.

That is a question mark for me too, but i dont see Joe Schad, or however you spell it, reporting that he was interested if he wasn't. His dad was DC for Holtz from 77-80 and i think Al Davis has pissed him off just like every other Oak Coach.

Would rather have Kiffin than another Jack Crowe (a coordinator with no head coaching experience). Did we not learn anything from Crowe and Stan Heath.

Kiffin may be a great choice, I was just pointing out that some of these sexy hires are not so sound in the long run and reacting to the smart remark by the poster--who by the way may be giving Kiffin credit for being the benefactor of being in a good program and a benefactor of the prior offensive coordinator Nrom Chow.

No that would be Norm Chow, who is now at the Tennessee Titans

Kiffin was a position coach at that time, I think QB coach (Palmer and Leinart= Heisman)

Dude!  Chow was not the OC in 05'.  How many times must I post this.  Check his bio!!!!!! Kiffin was OC both times they played us.

If Al Davis were my boss I'd consider it.

Lou Holtz came to Arkansas after one dismal 3-10 season with the NY Jets which is about the same as kiffin is having with the Raiders. This is our chance to become a national power again! Send everything you got at Lane and hope to God he bites.

Kiffin would be a great hire.  Lets go after him!

[DrSwineESQ]

I love the idea of Kiffin. This is the most exciting name I've heard yet.  And why wouldn't he come here?  After a sluggish year at Oakland under an unrealistic taskmaster like Al Davis, he might have figured out that his days with Oakland are numbered.  I hope this is true, I think he'd be a great fit.

Ex OC at USC under Carrol? If that is the one I would be happy to give him a few years to prove himself. I'm not picky. Just bring in someone who has the potential to take us to the next level.

I'll take arrogant and sob if he wins SEC championships and BCS bowl games.

I couldn't agree more.

[BigHog396]

Besides JJ, Kiffin might be at the top of my list...probably not realistic though.  Gus would be up there too.  I say let's take a chance on Gus if we can't get Kiffin, Petrino, Davis or TT.

What's not realistic about it?  It has been reported by ESPN, and I know that he has shown interest in the job.  I don't know if it was UofA that contacted him, if he contacted the us, or if he has just let it be known that he is interested... but trust me, there have already been conversations with people VERY involved in the situation.

Lane Kiffin has won a SEC championship?  Really?  And, in what BCS bowl game did he serve as head coach?
