I honestly think Freeze would have us competing with the big boys in recruiting and on the field

I think there’s a chance as well. But nothing certain. The guy lost to both Mullen and McElwain, and with some of his better teams. As I said, if it’s a Jets situation, so be it. But trading as if we’re landing a Meyer is inaccurate. Honestly, there’s no one out there that carries that type of near guarantee. Fickle would be the closest and I, personally, don’t want another DC turned HC. There’s a reason Freeze is considered the hot name and Texas just hired an OC with decent at best HC experience plus baggage. There just isn’t some plethora of slam dunk options right now.

So as much as I get and agree with the Mullen criticism, we should be careful what we wish for. It’s still in our best interest that he gets it together and is successful here.

Not arguing the need to keep him here and let him grow as a head coach...I honestly think he stubbornly believes he can only do it one way and that’s the way he did it at MSU...he’s not cracking but starting to feel the pressure he never felt at MSU and he’ll either fix it or be the same guy...it’s up to him whether he’s the thumb wrestling guy or the awe shucks we tried guy

If you talk s*** and lose, you're a jackass. If you do it and win, you're SOS. I for one love a good s*** talking coach as long as he can win games when it matters.

The problem is, Kiffin has never won anything, anywhere as a head coach. He’ll eventually be run out of Mississippi on a rail, just give him a couple of years. He’s a tard.

At some point, he might grow up. Everyone wants to be the team that wins the musical chairs and gets HC Kiffin. The problem is he'll leave an indeterminate number of teams in shambles on his way there (if he ever gets there).

Freeze would be an interesting pick. I don’t need to point out his background. I don’t think he’d pass muster for the simple reason sofla noted. He comes with baggage. I don’t think the UAA has the stomach for it. I could be wrong. I bet I’m not.

Your exactly right, the administration would never consider him. People can scream his name all they want, they'll never consider him.

Completely agree. This is why you're my favorite poster.

Seems like if I'm remembering correctly, Kiffin's teams always have sh!tty defenses. Better recruiter no doubt, but I'm seriously doubting he'd get us over the top.

Spurrier never blamed crowd noise, stadium configuration or his own players for a loss. He owned is like all good leaders do.

I wasn't referring to Mullen, I was referring to Kiffin. To my knowledge, he hasn't made a lot of excuses (could be wrong about that), but he's talked a lot of s*** about other teams. Spurrier did the same thing, but he actually won the games, which Kiffin doesn't do.

Ah, my bad.

And, BTW, that scenario I drew up earlier? Plausible. The Jets want a quarterback. They own the second pick. Dak has the leverage. It could happen. The Cowboys could offer him in a trade and use the second pick on a passer.

The only fly in that ointment is no team is giving up the #2 overall pick for Dak Prescott.
