I don't want to have the details posted, but a couple of the episodes were clearly outlandish and they were true. Unless there's another hairpin turn, like last year, he's terminated Sunday. However, we'll see and we'll see what happens next. I still doubt anyone wants to take a chance on him as a HC. However, I've been wrong before...

I've read your comments on Kiffin for the last couple of years and they always leave me pondering what happened at USC. What Haden had seen or put up with, and what he confronted Lane with at LAX. This has seemingly less drama than being left at LAX, but the idea that a playoff bound team would fire its freshmanQB-whisperer OC right before the playoffs is equally shocking.

A couple of his escapades at UT are deemed 'too crazy to believe' as well.

I know nothing about her as a person; but, from a purely physical standpoint, take one look at his ex-wife and you realize he's got a problem if he needs to troll bars.

As far as I'm concerned LK can move on down the road. Alabama football dosen't need THIS kind of attention, with all the bar hopping rumors and attempts to pick up college girls under an assumed name. This is not what Bama football is about, it's about winning, not rumors about who assistant coaches have slept with. This is the type of behavior that has a negative affect on very impressionable young players who look up to there coaches.

And the presidents of these schools know about these things. It seems that CNS is the reason he has had the chance to rehabilitate his image as HC candidate who has matured and learned from his mistakes. I'm thinking he squandered that chance. I know I wouldn't take the chance when you are hiring the face of the program and spending millions on an adult who seemingly never acts like one.

CLK is obviously a talented man. It just makes one shake one`s head when you see someone who apparently and so obviously gets in their own way.

I'm starting to wonder why this is such a revelation to many of you because this has been news for 2 years now. Go to any rivals board in the last year and see the punchline reference. Those rumors haven't died since the ole miss game, but many other crazy ones have

I was wondering the same.. and I mean no disrespect to anyone reading this, but no one can't be that clueless not knowing what he did at UT, Oakland and USC....

Re: Why Lane Kiffin isn't a slam dunk to get a head coaching job

It seems odd to read about so many people objecting to having a blatant womanizer in an important job like OC.

This rumor came to this site throughout the time period between ole miss and UGA week last year. HSV, if I remember correctly, put a stop to it because some of the content.

But the point is the freshwater thing is nothing new.

Mine to, curse of getting all my information from this board I guess. Been his biggest fan from day 1. If all this stuff is true conflicted on how I feel about him now.

If you meant "not objecting" then I think you should turn your guns at CNS as well. Keep in mind these rumors came out last year and CNS still retained him.

The thing about people with that issue is it doesn't seem to matter at all who they have at home. There are numerous examples of this Tiger Woods' former wife is extremely attractive, most of the other women were not, but that had no impact on his behavior. My opinion, Seal was way out of his league with Heidi Klum, but he engaged in the same behavior. Billy Joel, Christie Brinkley, same thing. Countless other examples. I'm not sure if it's a sickness or just a character flaw.

Re: Why Lane Kiffin isn't a slam dunk to get a head coaching job

I was only a fan of his recruiting/playcalling possibilities, but his actions (even the Twitter stuff, as funny as they may be) point to an immaturity issue that he has not resolved. My thing on rumors is that 90% of the time, there is some credence to the rumor. I also look at the success and evolution of the Alabama offense under CNS, and I trust that if he decides there is a need to make a change, he'll make that change, and the long-term effect of that change will be generally positive. I hate the timing, but if even Earle believes that as things stand right now that Kiffin is gone after tomorrow's game, then it shall happen, and CNS will be able to manage the transition. Kiffin and Sark come from the same Norm Chow-coaching tree in terms of offensive philosophies so I can't imagine that the transition will be all that difficult if it should come to pass.

I meant what I posted. I'm not trying to turn any guns towards anybody. Today is the first day I've ever heard of Joey Freshwater.

I agree with what seems to be the consensus of the board...the OC ought to act in an appropriate manner. I would greatly prefer that blatant womanizers not hold important jobs.

Re: Why Lane Kiffin isn't a slam dunk to get a head coaching job

Folks every OC we've had since 2008 has won a national title and have been replaced by someone who won a national title (except Kiffin) With the QB, backs, lineman, and receivers we've got coming back, I might could be OC myself.

I hadn't heard any of this prior to today, but I get my Bama news from TF where the Zero Rumors policy is written in stone :cool2:. Putting someone this reckless on the recruiting trail is a disaster waiting to happen, if it hasn't happened already.

Yesterday was my first time to ever hear of Joey Freshwater. I don't know if the rumors are true but if so I would expect CNS to handle the problem. If not true, we should wait to pass judgement. Don't make it a problem if it's not a problem.
