🏈 Update: Kiffin to FAU (Bama OC through playoffs)

[TUSKtimes]

The Houston crowd not happy. They were pulling hard on the Lane train.

It's Major Applewhite....seriously

Here's where we disagree.... "if someone gives him inside information with the understanding he's not going to run his mouth on the internet THAT is on him". To me, that's on the guy divulging the "inside info", not Boz. I mean, if it's info you don't want out in public, why tell anyone? If it's supposed to be a secret, keep it a secret. It's pretty clear at this point that Boz does not care about keeping secrets, which I happen to appreciate.

As far as inside information... Unless I'm mistaken, Terry basically confirmed in the previous post that they get a lot of the same info. So I do believe he has some type of legitimate sources.

I agree 100%, and tried explaining the same thing in my post. I don't see it as a gift too not be able to hold a secret, but I enjoy learning things about the program before the media gets ahold of it and rival fans start talking about it so I can try and form an unbiased opinion.

The whole Sark getting drunk thing apparently didn't happen in the confines of his own home, so it's fair game in my mind as well. The whole "What's happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" deal is stupid as shit, albeit a good marketing ploy for them, but in the real world everything you do outside of your house is privy to speculation and opinion, especially as a celebrity of sorts.

Well shit. The hubris that Kiffin and Saban had in regards to Lane getting a head coaching job look pretty silly now. Are there even any other openings left? USF is about to hire Strong.

Joey Swampwater here we come.

Temple is going after Strong. So, I expect kiffin to USF. Don't want to see him at LSU.

Houston passes on Lane Kiffin, hires former Alabama OC Major Applewhite

Houston promotes OC Applewhite to head coach

Kiffin to USF is a major downgrade. OC at Bama is still >>> HC at USF. I sincerely hope he doesn't go that way.

Wouldn't mind Strong at Temple. The fans are still reeling from the Rhule departure .. Folks back home are devastated.

Houston is obviously looking desperately for a HC who will be there longer than 2 years. Provided he can actually coach.

Another Saban coach getting a head coaching job.

 

[EasyTider]

So it's Kiffin to LSU again??

 

[TUSKtimes]

Who knows about South Florida or Temple? Taggart is recruiting Strong to Oregon for the DC spot.

Sources of 247Sports.com tell us that Strong is currently debating the head coach vs defensive coordinator path after Texas. He still wants to coach, but a source said he's not sure if he wants everything that comes with being a head coach after what he went through at Texas right now.​

Report: Charlie Strong, Temple In Talks Over Head Coaching Position

There is this as well. Who knows what is going on with Strong.

It's Major Applewhite....seriously

My thread would have been.....MAJOR disappointment

 

[UAgrad93]

Houston PTB logic, "we don't want someone that will use us as a stepping stone and leave after 2 years. So let's hire a guy that has ZERO experience as an HC and make him the HC. Then we can replace him in 2 years when we fall flat on our face!"

Sound about right?

 

[rick4bama]

Houston got Major a little less, than what Kiffin wanted too? I think Strong would be a good fit at Temple too.

 

[Bamabacker]

I've said this before...Why do I continue to have this feeling that Kiffin wants to stay at the friendly confines of Bama and CNS is trying to push him out of the nest? Their public conversations seem to suggest that.

Options are limited for CLK at this point. I don't think I'm being a homer by saying any other coaching position is an uphill battle for him.

What's silly about having confidence in one of your coaches being ready to be a head coach again?

Saban has got to be tired of reeling in the football savant side of Kiffin. The fact he got another year at the Capstone is somewhat amazing given the chemistry between them and the history that follows. Had the Clemson game gone the wrong way, I doubt any of us would be contemplating the possibilities now.

It's more the idiot side of Kiffin that concerns Saban.

I could be that Saban and Kiffin talked at the beginning of the year and Kiffin said he was going to look for a HC position at the end of the year...

Saban could have offer Sark the opportunity to come on board as a consultant and then take over as OC at the end of the year.

All these rumors we keep hearing are just that... rumors. None of this stuff is anything that is leaving the office and minds of Nick Sasban and Lane Kiffin. I doubt either of those two are leaking information to anyone... so ANY information you are hearing from ANY source is going to be best guess take it with a grain of salt information. Until we hear something official from either Saban, Kiffin or the University... I don't worry so much about what, if, why.... because no matter what, Saban has control of the situation and it's planned for... and in the end, that's all that matters.
