.Another couple of good things is that he was a Marine and was born in Georgia. Imo, Keith taught other national broadcasters how to properly say "Alabama" "Bama" The Tide" after a touchdown. I know Musburger caught on to it.Wasn't he in the broadcasting booth with Keith Jackson? I always loved KJ calling an Alabama game.
That would be toxic for the Bama/Barn relationship...not that the Barn cares.My prediction. Auburn hires Lane Kiffin for 2017. You heard it here first.
He was about the best there was until he made the mistake of un-retiring. By the 2004 Rose Bowl broadcast, he had evolved into a pompous, nearly unrecognizable SoCal homer (proclaiming the game he was about to describe the "human" championship, as opposed to the LSU-OU "computer" championship Brent Musberger was forced to call). When KJ finally hung it up after the 2006 Texas-SC game, he had long since lost me and, to my mind, tarnished a sizable portion of his legacy...I always loved KJ calling an Alabama game.
I agree. I just feel that Lane is more Dye than he is McEwain. I think the jobs at Auburn aTm and MSU(Mullen moving up) could come open with Kiffin in the mix, not LSU though. We might see what happened in the east, happen in the west next year, and if the Saban tree holds true, one of those will snag him. Auburn could throw a lot of money at him. Just my speculation if I was Auburn....I would hire him.That would be toxic for the Bama/Barn relationship...not that the Barn cares.
Won't say never about nothing anymore, but I'd hope if/when CLK leaves he will go some place we can at least hope for his success except for when/if we play him. Kinda like the way we feel about Coach Mac at Florida.
Auburn wouldn't do it. Auburn tries to present itself as a classy bunch behind a real swell guy, even though they clearly aren't. Kiffin has somethings that will take that aura away from them. Also Kiffin isn't going to play "yes man" to a weenie like jay Jacobs or a bunch of crusty old men.I agree. I just feel that Lane is more Dye than he is McEwain.

Maybe they can get hire another up and coming high school coachAuburn wouldn't do it. Auburn tries to present itself as a classy bunch behind a real swell guy, even though they clearly aren't.

I think they would go after someone in the family or someone like Texas tech's coach.
Don't forget his cameo with Jerry Reed at the beginning of The Waterboy!!
