But most college coaches are Type A personalities believing they are the ones who can actually make it happen.

Ipso facto, Kiffin would jump at the USF job if its the best offer he has.

So if all the coaching threads from this round were merge would that thread be able to give the conference realignment thread a run for it money?

Shouldn't this be in the realignment thread?

 

I kid...

You know... Because every chance to add to the realignment thread.

Seriously, though, I was wondering when someone would call out the multiple coaching threads.

At least we have something to talk about besides firing Coach Strong.

Easily disagree, mostly with the "would jump" aspect.

I'm still not sure why you think the USF and FAU jobs are on the same level, but we'll just have to agree to disagree on that. Either way this is probably moot.

Do you have any thoughts on this:

I'm hearing Lane Kiffin is interested in the job. He's injected himself into all the searches, so why not USF? You also have Shaun King in the building & a darkhorse Houston OC Marquell Blackwell could come home.

Josh is definitely one of the more reliable sources for USF info, though it's less frequent these days.

For sure but money plays a role as well as public perception. Leaving one G5 job for another seems unlikely...especially when he will more than likely have P5 offered. Kiff is one of the biggest Type A personalities in college football.

My argument isn't that FAU and USF are on the same level (on paper). But you need to look at the context. If your goal is P5, moving from a conference championship caliber G5 program to a start-of-rebuild G5 program does not get you closer to the end goal.

Josh noting that Kiffin has "injected himself into all the searches" really devalues the observation. Makes it sound like a leverage move by Kiffin's agent more than anything else. And Kiffin's name hasn't come up by anyone in the three days since that tweet.

I understand the point re: G5 to G5 jumps but I think Kiffin is just too craven to turn down the job if it is offered. Seems like we all agree its probably a long shot anyway though.
