He will PISS this opportunity away.
December 7th, 2019 at 11:46 AM ^
So your title should really read, “Ole Miss finalizing a deal to have Kiffin become next coach”.
See, not that hard.
December 7th, 2019 at 11:56 AM ^
Out of all the poop filled titles we get on this board, I don’t think this one is worthy of outrage.
December 7th, 2019 at 1:19 PM ^
Disagree. Big difference between saying he's going versus the deal hasn't even been done yet.
December 7th, 2019 at 1:05 PM ^
C'mon man. it's not like it's Herbie saying Les is a done deal to Michigan.
December 7th, 2019 at 4:39 PM ^
Schiano to Tennessee.
December 7th, 2019 at 6:20 PM ^
Thank you.
Or Schiano to Rutgers the first time.
Or Miles to Michigan.
Or Meyer to USC.
Or...
I know it’s not the worst title, and I’ll get negged, but just take an extra second and be more accurate. (End rant)
December 7th, 2019 at 7:36 PM ^
I’m sorry, you were saying? Looks like the title is just fine.
December 7th, 2019 at 11:48 AM ^
Still think he’s a douche but .... also think he’s a solid tactician on offense.
December 7th, 2019 at 1:33 PM ^
My Ole Miss buddy was texting frantically last night while this was developing. I said it would be "Tennessee Part 2".
This morning he sent me a tweet showing how excited Lane's son was that his dad got a head coaching job in the Esss Eeee Ceee. The boy shouted, jumped into their SUV, and said "let's go!"
His son's name? Wait for it... "Knox".
December 7th, 2019 at 2:07 PM ^
So will he change the kids name to Oxford or Toddy?
December 7th, 2019 at 2:46 PM ^
They'll probably just call him Ox
December 7th, 2019 at 2:57 PM ^
Great hire. Perfect for Ole Miss. I think he's a great offensive coach, and his personality makes Ole Miss interesting.
Downside is that I was having fun suggesting his name to my MSU friends as a replacement for Dantonio. A couple of them were actually pretty open to it.
December 7th, 2019 at 11:48 AM ^
What a horrible hire. I'd rather try out a coordinator or mid major coach.
December 7th, 2019 at 1:15 PM ^
He is a mid-major coach.
December 7th, 2019 at 2:18 PM ^
I thought it was pretty obvious that I meant up and coming mid major coach
December 7th, 2019 at 2:22 PM ^
This is mgoblog, you have to be more specific
December 8th, 2019 at 12:35 AM ^
Yeah be more "Pacific" /s
December 7th, 2019 at 3:37 PM ^
You've been here since 2010. You should know better.
December 7th, 2019 at 11:55 AM ^
I give 2 years as an over/under before parting of ways at least he won’t have to worry about that pesky Houston Nutt.
December 7th, 2019 at 12:04 PM ^
“How close can we get to Hugh Freeze without rehiring Hugh Freeze?”
BAH GAWD THATS JOEY FRESHWATER’S MUSIC
December 7th, 2019 at 12:06 PM ^
Outside of Kiffin not doing the whole “Ole Miss football and god” schtick, this is a perfect in oh so many ways.
December 7th, 2019 at 12:08 PM ^
I’m sure he’ll be treated with the upmost respect when they visit Knoxville.
December 7th, 2019 at 12:57 PM ^
LOL!!! Must see TV...
December 7th, 2019 at 12:11 PM ^
December 7th, 2019 at 12:14 PM ^
What a perfect cultural fit. A school that is hypocritical about morals and a coach who has none
December 7th, 2019 at 12:17 PM ^
Still won’t bring back Layla.
December 7th, 2019 at 12:24 PM ^
Hahaha. Good ole lane
December 7th, 2019 at 12:25 PM ^
Finally someone takes a chance on Kiffin.
December 7th, 2019 at 12:26 PM ^
A marriage made in Hades.
December 7th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
Michigan fans are the last to hold on to this "clean/dirty" paradigm. Nobody else cares, nor should they. It's so frustrating to see how talk of cleanliness has dominated this board the last week. It's a total time warp.
December 7th, 2019 at 12:30 PM ^
Nothing in this post is true.
December 7th, 2019 at 12:39 PM ^
Says the guy who holds on tighter to the past than maybe any other poster.
December 7th, 2019 at 1:58 PM ^
Civilization is a product of the past.
You should thinking sometime.
December 8th, 2019 at 12:13 PM ^
Maybe YOU should thinking. It good, me know.
December 7th, 2019 at 1:09 PM ^
Morals and anti-corruption are so yesterday.
December 7th, 2019 at 1:53 PM ^
There is nothing amoral about paying players. Not paying them? Hardly moral!
December 7th, 2019 at 1:46 PM ^
Name checks out.
Also, the rest of your posting history leads me to believe you think whataboutism is a useful rhetorical device.
December 7th, 2019 at 1:55 PM ^
You have time to scroll through people's posting histories. Good use of the day.
December 7th, 2019 at 2:54 PM ^
Well there’s also the fact that you apparently find being a douche to be a good use of the day...
December 7th, 2019 at 12:31 PM ^
Ole Pissin' Kiffin
December 7th, 2019 at 1:14 PM ^
This will be interesting. Freeze was a big subscriber to the whole “hide your mercenary approach behind Bible thumper platitudes” thing which is basically essential in the Deep South. Kiffin seems like the kind of guy who just doesn’t really care about anything other than winning football games, itd be hard to see him do the whole community aspect in a place as deeply conservative as MS.
December 7th, 2019 at 1:17 PM ^
Gross.
December 7th, 2019 at 3:54 PM ^
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
December 7th, 2019 at 1:27 PM ^
What are the rational expectations for Ole Miss? I don’t think that’s a job I would take if there were other offers. Seems like he is destined to fail.
December 7th, 2019 at 2:38 PM ^
True. But then he'll get millions in a buyout. Probably reels in a few great recruits now that the boosters are willing to throw more cash around in hopes that Kiffen can actually compete with UGA, LSU, etc. Has one good season in the first few years of his contract, gets an extension, then fails miserably, then fired.
December 7th, 2019 at 2:54 PM ^
That sounds like the best case scenario. The money spends, just wonder if he considered the long game at all. I think if I were a coach I would be aiming for a Big 12 or PAC 12 gig. Seems like those conferences are wide open.
December 7th, 2019 at 2:55 PM ^
Destined to fail or not, worst case is he gets fired and they have to pay him millions of dollars to NOT coach them. Sign me up.
December 7th, 2019 at 1:35 PM ^
Believe the women are pretty damn hot in Oxford. Kiffin will have a field day.
