PigskinPat 2,579 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 If the Kiffin to Houston rumor is true, any chance he'd go after K Briles as his OC? Could be a lot of things happening in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could REALLY screw us. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/aac/2016/12/08/lane-kiffin-hired-houston-cougars/95128236/ Alabama is probably the only school that could get away with hiring him. They'll never do it. Kiffin was too up tempo for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randman5000 4,228 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 You know a recruit is important when there is a rumor of a rival coach getting a job and maybe in the slightest hiring a recruits former coach and there is speculation about that recruit signing there. here's to recruiting!

UAgrad93 6 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Everyone knows that rumors sometimes have a tiny bit of truth. I've read, like many of you probably have, that Sark had some issues in ATL last weekend. Truth? Only Saban and Sark really know. As far as what happens with Sark should he not get the OC job, I would imagine Orgeron or Kiffin will try to snag him up. No inside information, just speculation. To be honest, I never saw Kiffin staying in Tuscaloosa no more than a year or two tops. I saw it for what it was for, a rehab project for his image. Don't really know if he matured or not, probably not. I am appreciative for the work he did though. 3 different starters at QB for 3 years straight. The guy may be a snake in the grass, but he knows how to get the mismatches he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Wow. I bet 2 things did lane in: 1) He is a journeyman and likes to jump from school to school. Houston has lost 3 straight coaches and I bet they were looking for a long term coach that will be good on and off the field. 2) He is a journeyman and likes to jump from woman to woman.

rtftiger 40 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 From the time the news of Kiffen to UH broke, it sounded like a compensation game. If these things are going to happen, they're going to happen quickly. I think Kiffen may have slow-played UH without intention of going. See the Saban to UT in 2013 saga for an example.

This may make it Charlie Strong's job to lose. Via Larry Brown Sports: One big problem, however, is family ties.

If I remember correctly, CLK didn't even tell him he was leaving Knoxville and he found out he was out of a job when he saw it on the local news. WDE!

AUBwins 10,075 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I heard on sports radio it was a serious negotiation with HOU and LK. Houston wanted to create a ridiculous buyout to prevent LK from leaving in a few years, but didn't want to provide a comparable buyout if LK were fired. Who's to say LK flops as a head coach again? He has proved it everywhere he has been. Jimmy Sexton advises LK against the deal, and Houston promotes from within. TIFWIW, but I could see it play out this way.
