Maybe, Maybe not... I have to wonder what CLK could do with Jalen in year two?
I suspect if you find out, you will wish that you hadn't. Just my uneducated guess. I've read more than I care to, at this point, just in a few threads.
Believe me, this has been tried, more than once. It doesn't work...
We've learned that even if coaches don't break the law, the culture of an institution is important (think Baylor). The example the coaches set is a key element in that culture. I don't know exactly what Kiffin has done, but from all that has been said, it involves things that are scandalous. Even if it's not illegal or in violation of university rules, you have to consider the possible effect that this example has on the players and their possible good or bad decision making. A role model who celebrates his own arrogance and selfishness is going to instill that in his players -- it's okay to be manipulative and selfish so long as you don't get caught. Being ignorant of the details, I can't truly judge, but to my mind a deep risk here is the effect it has on the minds of the young men.
Are you seriously trying to compare what Lane has done to the rape culture at Baylor?
I don't know why you can't get it, but, if you can't, you can't. You're basically saying that anything he's done which is not a violation of law or institutional rules, is OK, so long as it's "win baby." I have a lot less feel for you than I thought. And, actually both may be involved, hence the administration's concern...
I'd have to know all the facts to respond to that, Mr Earle. I'd prefer to have a man of impeccable moral character in each position on the staff, but in today's world I'm not sure that's realistic. Yes, there are some things that I could tolerate, but there are others that I clearly would not. I DO trust that Saban, unlike any of us, is in possession of all the facts and will make the best decision for the program and the university.
The only reason the Petrino incident was as bad as it was, is because of improper benefits. I.e. Promotions and hiring of certain people
You have to wonder if Coach Saban is thinking the same thing.
ESPN is reporting Charlie Strong is in the running for the USF job. My guess is Strong will be a more attractive candidate for that job than Kiffin at this point. I'm getting the feeling Kiffin's "baggage" has accumulated more "stuff" since arriving in Tuscaloosa and those in the know of college football know it.
My stake in this one is purely in the interest of a nickname for a game.
