I'm not a Kiffin fan, but this is a good point. Regardless of how long his tenure is, he'll recruit better and leave the roster in better shape than the previous 3 coaches.

I think it's very likely to be the first name you listed. He checks all the boxes for Stricklin, most important being he won't embarrass him by saying no. Almost as important than that is he has the appropriate amount of melanin to make it the PC choice. On top of that Strick is completely familiar with him so knows exactly what he would be getting. On the downside is if he doesn't work out, the heat for going for an unproven and relatively cheap option will be severe.
But I've been saying all along that MuLLLLLLLen (fuk him, he's getting credit for the FSU loss) is gone and Brian Johnson has probably already been hired, and I don't see any reason to change that opinion.

He has been brought up before for a few college jobs, including Colorado when it was open. Yes he has been brought up often and passed over in the NFL, but I think the talk is that he has his eyes on an NFL job, thus the college talk on him seems to cool each year.

I might actually boycott if they hire that scum.

Muschamp, McElwain, Mullen, and now Malzahn. I call BS, not going to happen.

The best predictor of future success is past success, and being a head coach is very different from being an assistant. So I tend to favor candidates who have been successful head coaches. That said, the recent successes in the SEC seem to have been assistants.

I think that assessment is a bit premature.<---- Is this not the "Kiffin" emoji anymore?

Malzahn reportedly scheduling a press conference to express his excitement about ramming AR up the gut 36 times a game when he takes over for the bowl game....

3 million dollars and he has a strange clause about getting to bang the Saban's daughter again, so that could be a little difficult to arrange.

I understand your views, but so much of upper level management is an innate quality that really can't be taught, but someone who wants to learn can garner some info. I believe that is kind of how Kiffen is now. Has the football knowledge, but no clue of management. Strichnine mentioned something today that Cousin Eddie has never had and I said that for 15 years now. Attention To Detail. Lack of that trait is enough for me to disqualify almost everyone and the fact that Strichnine could not see that in Cousin Eddie at while both were at Cowbell proves that Strichnine is either stupid, blind or does not care, possibly all 3. Dumbo has that smartest guy in the room attitude but does seem to have a bit of football knowledge that Cousin Eddie never had. A guy like Pittman clearly has the management, attention to Detail quality. Just looking as some football statistical numbers can often times be misleading. Identifying the hidden qualities is difficult, but that is what I expect those getting paid the big bucks to do.
