If he continues to put a product on the field like he did last year, Kif will get another big job offer, likely somewhere on one of the major coasts or out West somewhere.
Kiffin's Rediscovery
- Thread starter mlh
- Start date
Well, the majority of the ADs interviewed said they wouldn't hire him. Of course, as was noted, that might change with desperation. It's interesting that he couldn't find a job anywhere, not just as a HC, after two years with us. Saban didn't have to take him back but did on pleas from common friends. A lot of his peccadilloes aren't known publicly and you probably don't know them, but they're know to ADs and the football community of employers know them. He probably resurrected his career with that third year under Saban and yet he deserted us at the end. The details are known by the pool of employers and they are hard to forget. I think those who believe his betrayals will simply be forgotten and he will be welcomed into a P-5 berth just don't know all he's done...
I don't know all the particulars of how bad Kif's behavior was while at Bama, but I had a strong negative feeling towards him when we hired him. Who needs an obnoxious guy like him around?
So I'm trying to keep that in mind, and resist the underdog attraction in this game. If FAU beats Oklahoma that would only make Kif even more obnoxious, but then again, what a comeback that would be for the disgraced boy wonder coach.
Kif has really had a fall from grace on this particular board, while he was here we were told misspelling his name would get you suspended. :smile:

You could be right. We’ll have to wait and see. I happen to think some major metro/urban/coastal schools may have a higher tolerance level for some of his personal indulgences than what you and I know would never fly at Alabama or anywhere in the sec for that matter. Heck—If he had just won enough games, I think he’d still be at SC.
Maybe, maybe not. From what Ive heard it was more of him hacking off boosters, and rumblings that Sark was always their first choice, but the pending sanctions scared him off when Carroll left. Ive been of the opinion that Kiffin never really got a fair shake at USC, and he deserved another year.
I remember you were very realistic in your evaluation of him, which is another way of saying you were critical where it was deserved. :smile:You must not have been reading my posts while he was here...
I also remember we were told if we misspelled his name we would be suspended. My guess is that prohibition against misspelling his name has been lifted. :smile:
I don't remember that at all. If a mod had stated that, I would have nuked it and reprimanded the mod. However, if you can dig up an example, I'll concede that point. However, what I don't care for are the posts inferring that some of his conduct was just playful stuff. It wasn't, not by a long shot. He was unreliable at crucial spots. Here's his latest shot, inferring that he couldn't get Saban to follow his sage advice, but that Saban did after he left...
Backhand Compliment
This is starting to feel like a "Fatal Attraction" relationship, the ex that won't go away!
By all the attention the media is giving Kiffin and Saban you would think they were together as long as Nick and Miss Terry.

Didn't CNS state last year that he had indeed cut back on the practices leading up to the playoff games for the express purpose of resting the players?
He did. Do you buy that he did that because of Kiffin's advice, after Kiffin left?
I believe that he makes decisions based on his own beliefs and observations, that of his assistants, and others that he observes or has discussions with.
