I don't think Kiffin is the sharpest tool in the shed (and I admire his offensive skills) but I'm not sure he'd want to have to go head to head with CNS for next few years.
If Kiffin keeps winning, he'll get another shot at a big time program. I'd advise him to be patient.
And NO Shaw will never come to Alabama to coach,..espcially not the Barn!

Nope. They were pathetic then too, but they had a plan (or thought they had a plan) to resurrect the program. They're floundering all over the place now.
He might be high on lists of the fan base, but I cannot believe that Kiff would be anywhere on the administration’s short list. Too much is known about his personal life and tendencies that I don’t think would go down very well culturally even at Auburn.
Well, I disagree. They'd hire him in a New York Minute IF they thought he could compete with CNS. Matter of fact, they'd hire the Devil himself to beat Bama.
I just think LK has enough sense to know CNS isn't going to be outcoached, outrecruited and outmatched.
I don't keep close on this thread so this may have been mentioned. I saw today that Gus wants to split the GA and Alabama games up in such a way that Auburn never has to play them both on the road in the same season again. Since the games are close together, and the SECCG is the week after Alabama, I get it. On the other hand, he wasn't complaining last year when the home field advantage in both games helped him land a $49MM contract extension that simply would never have happened without those two wins.
Sounds good for Auburn and I sure don't blame him, but if every team were granted 1 or 2 major demands in regards to schedule I would imagine it wouldn't be very long at all until some demands would be impossible to fill and still get all the games scheduled, somebody will be disappointed. I really have no knowledge of it, but I doubt the SEC office will consider granting those kinds of guarantees, especially when the coach is asking for "never again" types of requests.
Fine, they want have Bama an GA at some the same year either. Which is the only way they ever pop up and make the SECCG anyway
Kiffin would be a horrible dumpster fire that I would thoroughly enjoy watching.
David Shaw made a backhanded put down of us and our academics not too long ago. Auburn is way beneath him. Maybe enough money would sway him, but I doubt it. Also, I wouldn't be scared of him at all. A pro-style offense against Nick Saban's defense? LOLOLOLOLOL

Exactly because at some point the demands will become mutually exclusive - slippery slope.

Thank goodness!
I think it’s safe to say if this weren’t true, gus would have been put on the short bus to firedville.

IF the SEC would/should do anything, just ship 'em to the east and move Mizzu to the west and let us play them in late Sept. and they can keep Georgia late.
Awbern has always been whiny. Why do you think the IB is not in Bham anymore. Younger folks will never know how great that game once was. Ticket sales split 50/50, nothing like it other than maybe the Cocktail Party. They have always complained about the schedule. Bunch of crybabies!
I shouldn't the vindictive sort, but I damn sure am.
And I don't want Gus or Auburn to get this for a simple reason: in 2010, the SEC offered to give US some relief from that gauntlet of teams that had a bye week before playing us. I honestly don't remember the specifics - remember, it got swallowed up in the whole Cam Newton saga and since nothing happened it didn't matter - but the SEC was going to have Auburn re-schedule one of their games to an open week where one of their opponents also had won IF both teams were agreeable.
Gene Chizik, realizing he had almost beaten the champs the year before with the extra rest, wasn't going to do a thing to help us, and he shot it down immediately so he could keep his advantage.
So screw Auburn on that issue. You didn't help us, we damn sure won't help you.
But there are some other problems with it, namely, short-sightedness and convenience.
1) Alabama and Georgia won't always be the dominant teams. This stuff goes in cycles. He may screw himself or Auburn worse by trying this.
2) I sure as hell don't recall him complaining in 2013, when he won two miraculous games, or 2017, when he did as you stated above.
I'll be honest with you: I don't mind helping out a fellow SEC school within reason. In fact, I wouldn't mind this one if not for Chizik's refusal. But the reality is that Alabama has already made a couple of changes to keep the other teams happy.
1) When the SEC expanded, we played in Baton Rouge twice in a row (1991 and 1992).
2) The Arkansas game used to be around the 3rd Saturday in September for nearly two decades.Then they moved it to October to accommodate the new schools.
Besides - Gus is literally admitting he can't beat these teams without the home field.
