🏈 The New Heir Apparent?

I was wondering how long it would take before this scenario was postulated.

Yeah, we knew it was coming.

How premature this is, but Scabs has to do it now to make a splash...

After what happened first at Oakland, then UT, then USC when he was the head man, I don't expect anyone to knock on his door with a major HC job anytime soon. If he hangs around a few years and shows some consistency and loyalty it might happen, but it would take a lot of success on offense for this to be accepted by the Bama nation.

Gawd.

I don't think as of right now, he coaching material.

I think that was the plan. Kornheiser and Wilbon were talking about this on PTI this afternoon; Scarbo had his name mentioned. Wilbon shot this idea down with an AK 15. I think Kiffin's best bet if/when he moves on his to take an OC position in the NFL. I see him being a likely HC in the near future as much as I see Shameis Winston repeating as the Heisman winner.

Leave it to Scarbinsky to belch up this muckraking nonsense (which is getting airtime tonight on the national sports programs). Kiffin has done a phenomenal job at Alabama so far, but to crank up conversation at this point about his succeeding Nick Saban is patent absurdity.

IMO, I think CLK is trying his best to help Alabama period. His head coaching track record is controversial bc of all the drama that has played out at Oakland, UT and USC. No one doubts his ability and success being an OC. I think he stays at Bama for a couple of years b4 taking a job as a head coach somewhere else. He has done a heck of a job so far.

All I had to do was look at the name of who was credited with this article. SMDH Scarbinsky is a hack to put it nicely. I do think that if the offense continues to put up these playstation numbers, Kiffin will see his name thrown into job searches. I honestly think he lands a pretty good gig after about a two year hitch here. His rep will be restored and he will have learned the ropes from the best HC in the game.

I still chuckle when I think about how Scabs was hired as a sports writer. He applied for a job as a food editor and was told that there was no vacancy, but they had one for a sports writer.
