Kiffin would recruit better than anyone and probably put together a better offense than anything seen in Reser in 10 years. Even if he takes off after 3 years the cupboard would be well stocked. It is always better to fire or lose a great recruiter than a great coach. Anyway that's what my duk frenemies tell me. I know many consider the idea of Kiffin a joke but I think he's legit. He isn't just a great recruiter but he knows how to coach an offense. Knowing it won't happen I wouldn't be upset by such a hire. No idea why Kiffin is such a non starter. Did he kill someone? SC was an unqualified disaster for him because SC is the ultimate coaches graveyard.

SC was an unqualified disaster for him because SC is the ultimate coaches graveyard. Not too mention the ridiculous sanctions at SC that were in place for 2 of his seasons there. I agree and have no clue why he is so despised by so many.

Spud, what is funny is that a beaver fan as savvy as you can't see that Les Miles "expressing interest" in the OS job is nothing but a ruse for attention. You gotta see it for what it is. I absolutely promise not to be I Told You So when this falls out. Thank you, but my post was clearly directed at many Beaver fans negative response to the "news", not whether it was feasible or not. It certainly would be a longshot. The LSU fan who was hanging around here during the baseball season. Where is his take? Les Miles = dumb bubba?

Kiffen was set up for failure at USC. Saban would have been set up for failure at USC.
People forget Kiffin's USC teams were banned from bowls for two years and lost 30 scholarships over a three year period. There was talk at the time they were going to be banned from television for a couple years. Talk about killing recruiting. Even with all that he was still one of the most successful coaches in the league during his short stint.
Kiffen has 6 wins so far this season at FAU, which had only won 8 games total over the previous 3 years.
He is a coach that should be strongly considered if he were interested.

I always had a sense that Lane Kiffen was one of those coaches that is a better coordinator than head coach... That he had not done as well in the lead / head coach position. But who knows...? Sounds like he is doing good now as head coach, so perhaps I’m wrong.
Will be very interesting to see what our administration does.

If I recall correctly, it was kind of an open secret that Kiffin was being set up for failure. I can remember announcers and journalists talking/writing out in the open that SC was facing severe sanctions and that Kiffin was going to wind up a fall guy.

I don't have any issue with Kiffin as a coach. Most of his issues have been self-induced and usually start once he opens his mouth and words fall out.

Kiffin is not in my top 10, he creates a lot of doubt in my mind, but seriously, reading so many of these threads, if I let that be my only criteria, then no one would be in my top 10. Guess I am going to have to leave it to the Search Committee.
