Title: Kiffin to LSU looking more likely.
Post by: Chechem on November 30, 2016, 06:33:10 AM
We should know more by Saturday, but it's looking like Kiffin is heading to LSU.

 :wall:

Hopefully he'll stay until the playoffs are done.

I'm still not convinced he'll go, especially with more and more HC positions opening up. He would be a good fit for at Oregon, I would think, and there will be a lot of openings in the west before it's over.

Yeah, the link above says 75% chance he'll leave for LSU.  I think that's more like 50/50, but 75% chance that he leaves Alabama this year.

Coach Saban said he hadn't discussed it with Lane yet, so it prolly won't be until the weekend: Saturday or (more likely) Sunday.

If he leaves before the playoffs then all the discussion of Kiffin's maturity is still premature. I just don't see any benefit to him doing that. Sure, he can get an earlier start on recruiting, but it's still abandoning ship, and a bad look for him. He's burned too many bridges in his career as it is.

I'm not putting much credence into these stories until Kiffin and/or Saban say something.  In the past, didn't Orgeron work for Kiffin, and not the other way around?   ???

Let's not be naive.  Kiff to LSU could happen.  So what then?  If he doesn't stay for the playoff games, does Sark step in as interim OC ?

Kiff has a lot riding on this move and how he handles it.


Title: Re: Kiffin to LSU looking more likely.
Post by: lstephen on November 30, 2016, 09:12:11 AM
With the Oregon and Houston openings (so far) I think Kiffin is committing himself to permanent OC status if he doesn't get a HC job this year.  Especially if he leaves the BAMA OC position for the LSU OC job.

I keep hearing rumors that he and Coach Saban don't play well together.  Anyone know anything factual about this?

Neither of them would discuss such a relationship, so ...  :dunno:

As far as Kiffin leaving for LSU, I'm standing by the story.  Looks like you're all doubters; wait and see.  It may not happen, but believe me: Kiffin has an excellent offer and is considering it.  Lots of chatter from friends in Tuscaloosa about it.

If Kiff leaves before the playoff games, I think the team will close ranks and strongly support whoever comes in even if on an interim basis.

Of course Kiffin could go to LSU or somewhere else.  I am fairly certain that Clay Travis and Bruce Feldman are not in the loop though.  They are just speculating.

If he has an offer he can't refuse to be the LSU OC, then I can't imagine he would leave before the season is over.  He would follow Kirby's example from last year.  And Kirby was going to be a head coach, not a coordinator.  Do you think he would really turn down the chance for another national championship so he could get a head start at being the OC at another school?  I don't think so.

So, I anticipate that he will be here through the rest of the season.  After that, who knows.

Agreed.  Most everyone expected Kiffin to leave after 2-3 years.  But few expected him to strengthen LSU by leaving Alabama.

As far as 'why make a lateral move', it seems Kiffin wants a change.  Lots of speculation about why.

We seem to go through the Kiff to (insert name of school) rumors after every season.  The only thing that's different this year is the Orgeron factor and the idea of Kiff moving to another OC position instead of HC.  We've had Kiff for three years.  To me, any longer would be just good fortune on our part.

What we do know is that SEC mandates that  ass't coaches be available to the press after the SECCG, so you can be sure Kiff will be asked on the record about all these rumors.

He is going to have his hands full with being the HC at Oregon and Houston, and the OC at LSU.  :dunno:

Are these sources the same guys that said "Saban to Texas for 100 million"?

The fact that he is going to all of these places just shows me that none of these people actually know what they are talking about and are just speculating.  He may end up leaving, but no need for concern until an official announcement is made.  The fan base has worried about this every year since before he even arrived.  We know through logic that at least 66% of these rumors are going to turn out to be false, if not 100% of them.

where ever he goes I wish him the best! I got to say when we hired him I was shocked and puzzled. But, living in Tennessee I truly enjoyed the biG oranges fans meltdown. He ran the offense like a chess game and nothing was more enjoyable than watching him raise his arms in TD stance when the ball was snapped!I kind of hope he stays in the SEC so he can bring us some competition and challenges

Now I did spell rumor in capitals but I didn't know if anybody else had heard of this sequence and yes I know we are suppose to post links, and not rumors. If this over the rules of the board please moderator remove it for me. I don't want to break any rules for Heaven's sake but this person was pretty adamant and I know well enough he tells me something I know it was not made up. Just saying. RTR!

Kiffin to interview for HC job at Houston. (http://whnt.com/2016/12/02/report-alabamas-lane-kiffin-to-interview-for-houstons-head-coaching-job/)  IMO, that would be better than going to LSU as the OC...

To me this Houston report sounds more credible than any of the other rumors floating out there, except maybe LSU.  If Kiff tell CNS that this is a job he'd like to have, then I have no trouble thinking CNS would try to help him get it.  CNS is a pretty good character reference.

It's good for Kiff's thinking to get an interview like this.  Hope the possibility of an HC job will cause him to pause in taking the LSU position.

One of the comments at the bottom of the link stated " Maybe kiff wanted more civilized living conditions, and less abuse.   :rofl:

and another comment:This isn’t personal. As much as I’d like to make it sound like “we’re stealing him from Bama,” that just isn’t the case. Alabama renegotiated his contract without an extension.

Yeah, he gone. 
Looking like Houston will offer him the job.  If so...  :wave:

Just saw an alert that Briles is out at Houston. Not surprising since Houston has a female President.

If Sark's not next, every up and coming OC in the country will jump at the opportunity to play with Bama's toy box and be mentored by Saban.

We replaced the best DC in the country last year and the defense got better this year. The offense is going to be a beast next year regardless of the OC.

THIS is certainly true. 
Sark is definitely out; Coach Saban moving on.

USA Today reporting that Kiffin to Houston is all but official.

Quote
Houston has decided on Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin to be its next football coach, pending a Thursday meeting at which school President Renu Khator will have to give the final OK, two people with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports. Those people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the school had not yet announced the move.

anonymity  Well I wonder why people tell things they are not suppose to, but they do and then afraid for somebody to know it. Sounds kinda like untrustworthy people don't it. RTR!

The lawyers haven't agreed yet.  Should sound familiar to most anyone!

At this point Kiffin has to decide if he REALLY wants to go to LSU.

A week ago it was likely; now NOT so much.

He's just hanging out there like a slab of meat.

LSU has to convince him now.   :popcorn2:

 :lol3:, yall making me think he won't go to lsu. I don't blame him because as we all know "O" ain't gonna last very long and then he becomes the HC he has to face up to the mentor like CNS. Not a good thought I would think. RTR!

Kiffin was leaving, willingly or not.

LSU offered him $$$ and all the fringelets.

Houston AD wanted him, but the Prez nixed it and convinced others to look elsewhere.

Florida Atlantic was the only viable option left.

BYE!   :wave:
