Lane Kiffin Interested in Ole Miss ??

Lane Kiffin would be a fool to take this job but then again he took the USC job amid a sanction cloud.

I listened to an interview with Tubberville yesterday on sirius college sports. He said Ole Miss had serious leadership issues and should totally clean house in the athletic department and, in his words, "start over".

I think Tennessee is desperate enough to actually seriously consider it.

Nope they are not that desperate. I have connected family at UT and they cannot stand him.

Maybe maybe not. I think the reality is starting to set in on these old timey programs like Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Nebraska that they are in desperate need for a coach that knows how to cheat and get away with it. While I seriously doubt Kiffin is hired again by Tennessee, but I can't help but to be reminded that Bobby Petrino once burned similar bridges and crossed similar lines.

So did most Bama fans until Saban hired him. Then, suddenly, he was a genius who could do no wrong. Now, he is back to being a scumbag again. Some people are willing to change their opinions about a guy when he starts wearing the right colors and/or logos.

Yeah, that's not how it went.

People didn't like him as a HC but said he would be pretty good if he only had to worry about the offense. That turned out to be true. He just let off the field activities derail him.

No way Ole Miss even considers Lane Kiffin. I think they hire an interim and go after a splashy hire after the season.

Yeah, actually most people had nothing nice at all to say about the dude except that he was a pretty solid offensive guy. Most people gave Pete Carrol the credit for the USC success when Kiffypoo was there. They said he was a horrible hire by the Raiders. Again, most people said he was a spoiled little .... who only got his breaks due to his daddy. In fact, about the only positive thing people said about him was about his ability to select an attractive wife. However, I suppose memories differ.

I guess I should add that he would be a great hire at Ole Miss.

The interim is an OM guy and IF he can navigate the season well I think they might give him a shot much like we did with Shula. Navigate a difficult time in the program's history and hold it together. The Rebel color radio guy was on the OD and talked about this as a real possibility.

The interim coach is part of the allegations. So I highly doubt he gets the job.

I'd open the bank vault for Les Miles. If he turned me down, I'd close the vault and hire a Shula type to get us through probation and then look for a real coach later.

I can't speak for other people but I can speak for me. I could not stand Lane Kiffin. But when Alabama hired him what was I to do? I will not bad mouth an active coach (not talking about being critical of plays). Also on this site people would be banned (and rightly so) for dissing a coach all the time. So I bit my tongue and crossed my fingers for the best. When he took the FAU job I celebrated.

I felt the same about Sark.

Just because I did not harp and carp on Kiffin all the time DID MEAN I LOVED THE GUY just because he was wearing Crimson and White. Not badmouthing Lane Kiffin for three years is not the same as liking Lane Kiffin.

Kiffin has a experience guiding a team through a NCAA issue at USC....

If you hire les miles then you are accepting that you lose to Alabama every year.
