Is this the guy that will bring big time recruits?

He has been a wildcard, and a loose cannon wherever he has been. Not the kind of stable influence we need.

We just fired stable influence.

We just fired stable influence.

Stable influence ate his way through 5 years here and turned us into a doormat while gaining 100lbs. 

I want to win. Give literally zero Fs about some stupid recruiting hearsay from 10 years ago.

Another Kiffin thread.  Haha.

How would you manage a Lane Kiffin contract? You want him to perform and pay him a salary large enough to sign him. You don't want him leaving in 2 years so you include a buyout clause nobody will touch. BUT...  What if he can't get the job done? Do we then have a Coach we can't get rid of due to contract stipulation on buyout amount? I like the Lane Kiffin idea... But is it right for our program?? How do we assure it has a reasonable safety??

If he leaves after a few years for a quote "better program" it more than likely means he had success here.

I like that to the alternative, like being stuck with Bert and there being ZERO chance anyone would want him.

OP's point is irrelevant

Correct, we paid BB an excessive amount of money to be rid of him. I think Kiffin would be successful. He would be exciting and sell tickets. Guess I'm thinking, like some others, what's the long term effect.

[kp72204]

Not sure how to manage his contract with regards to him having huge buyout if is\isn't successful. Personally I think he's not ready to coach here. I just think he'll give opposing teams bulletin board material and not be able to cash checks his mouth made.

I want a winner thats why I would take a chance on him, he might have settled down.

Kiffin is sexy

We have been taking the safe hire for a while and look where it has  us. No, I am ready to take a risk the benefits are worth the risk.

He does follow a lot of Arkansas guys.

McFadden, D Hyatt, B Martin, Damian Williams.. Clinton hah

[Flrazrback]

You make a good point. Desperate times do call for desperate measures. I like the Kiffin idea, understand he has a few blems on his record. But he has had success and he is experienced. Big question of course... Will our PTB consider him?

[Hoggie17]

How could we make it known that we will support Kiffin and that we are tired of the safe hires.  By the way as far as wins goes he is a safe hire.

[HOGSWEAT]

If we're going to hire a ticking time bomb, we might as well bring back the one who already exploded on us
