Head Coaching Candidates Thread; Brian Kelly goes to LSU

I used to loath Lane Kiffin. He was a jerk, spoiled brat, and cocky. But I have seen a change in him that I could not explain until now.
Here is one of his quotes, “I don't like to focus too much on my past, because then it stops becoming your past and starts to become your present,” he wrote. “However, my story is a special exception, because it shows people that it's never too late to rediscover God, and that we can overcome anything in our past. I like to tell people these days, if God can forgive you for whatever you have done, then why can’t you! I’m proof.”

Is he still cocky? Yes!
Does he still tick people off? Yes
But, I like his SOS cocky attitude fitting in at Florida! I think he would turn us around!

1. Must have been a false accusation. Everyone known Urban Meyer never cheats and never lies. Really though, he accused Meyer of calling a recruit when he was visiting UT. His story is much more plausible than the counter story that he was “mistaken.” But Kiffin screwed up because he mentioned the recruit by name. That got him in trouble. Fooley demanded an apology and Kiffin complied. He actually apologized. So his ethics here compare favorably to Urban Meyer, based on what we now know about his capacity for contrition and coming clean.

2. Leaving Tennessee for USC is such a massive red flag. Who would do such a thing? /sarc. Of course, if he didn’t, some posters here would use that as evidence that he was happy working in a hopeless dump and didn’t really have the desire to win big at a real big time program. So a bit of a catch 22 there.

3. Carroll ran away from a sinking ship. USC on probation and scholarship limitations is what Kiffin inherited. That 2011 class which signed just over a month after Kiffin took the job— Carroll’s last class— finished 3rd with 29 signees including 1 five star and 14 four stars. The 2012 class— Kiffin’s first— had only 17 commits, due to Carroll’s sanctions, but has 1 five star and 11 four stars, a far better blue chip ratio. The 2013 class— Kiffin’s second and last— had only 12 commits, again due to Carroll’s sanctions, with 4 five stars and eight four stars.

That’s 5 five stars in two heavily restricted classes, as many as UF has brought in over the last 8 years.


What other moral turpitude complaints do we have?

Not getting along with Al Davis? Ha! Snort. Being his buddy would be a far bigger red flag.

Rumors about banging chicks? That’s what nerds do when they feel threatened by attractive men: bad mouth them for all the sex they imagine they must be having.

Anything else?

No, it shows that people can change! That person is still the same person, but can turn and take a different direction in life.

This may have been the most embarrassing post in the history of Gatorchatter. I cringed all the way through it. Calling Lame Kitten "attractive" at the end was the icing on a hideous cake.

Kiffin banging sluts and prostitutes isn't the issue.

I think the Napier hire would be a lot like the Harsin hire for Auburn last year. Wouldn't move the needle one bit in recruiting and we'd be looking at 2 to 3 losses at best each year. Gotta get someone with a higher ceiling.
