Point of order... He won 9 games 3 times. We were 9-2 our last year as an independent, playing a mostly CUSA schedule.  Do you know why there was heartbreak? Because there was hope, expectations, and something real to play for.

Does anyone seriously think we were an option for Kiffin? That’s the most insane thought I’ve heard in this whole process. More insane than the notion that firing Strong was impossible.

How is there anyway to know who is an option and who isn't, under this shroud of secrecy (which is the right thing to do imo).

I doubted he would want to come here, and even if he did I doubt we would have considered him seriously because of well, he is Lane Kiffin - speaks for itself.

Why must we always disparage coaches that have done good things during their time here.  Leavitt and Taggart did good work during their time here. Period.  Skip and Charlie were handed teams

I think your... IN A BCS/P5 conference is the key here... UCF has been great the last few years right? How many conference championships would they have won in the ACC? I'm going to say zero with how

There are something like 11 college coach openings currently. Around 4-5 P5 spots with possibly more coming like..Mich State, S Carolina if they decide to cut theirs loose?? Appears Memphis may be looking?  Cincy?  Temple? if good offers go to these guys. If all that took place it's going to be a whirlwind of programs trying to fill their openings. What a year is unfolding in college football.

I don't think it's insane to consider Kiffin a possibility for USF. I mean, he *is* at FAU right now. He probably could've landed in the AAC to rehab at some point if he wanted to. And who is to say he's ready to be a head coach in the SEC again, even after his rehabiliSaban stint? SEC teams, even the doormats like Ole Miss and Arky, may not be ready for him yet and may want to take other routes.

 

I think USF fans think Kiffin to USF is insane, and I can agree that he's not the type USF typically likes to hire, and doubt Kelly is seriously looking at him but can't dismiss it, esp. when people are willing to not dismiss certain other candidates.

Tough one. even CSS came to us with some personal baggage along with his losing record from TX but, he was CSS a big name so an apparent good pick to take us to success....OK that didn't go well. I'm sure Kiffin has matured some over the years but he is a vocal guy who doesn't mind walking a fine line when it comes to NCAA rules. The latter could be more of a negative/worry for an AD

Someone name me the last C-USA head coach that decided to make the incredible leap into The American.

It should be obvious to everybody that the typical USF hire usually does not work.

And Tubberville made a similar step down. But I'm looking for a coach that was successful enough in the C-USA to look for a jump to a different G5 school.

And I can wait all day.
