AUght2win 6,903 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Lane Kiffin is NOT a proven SEC coach. If you want that, go get Mark Stoops. What Kiffin has proven to be is an immature dude who leaves every program he touches in ruins. Nothing has indicated to me he’s grown up. So you’re essentially taking the guy who tanked the Raiders, started riots in Knoxville, got fired on the tarmac at USC, and got let go before his finale at Alabama. Kiffin would be a Chizik - we’d compete for a natty in year 2 but by year 4 we’d be a disaster. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a team who had not had a winning season in 4 years and achieving 10 wins in his 2nd year, plus 6-0 and ranked top 10 currently in his 3rd year is pretty good at a place like Ole Miss. We hired Tuberville for accomplishing less. At least an SEC champ appearance or a high prestige bowl win along with too recruiting classes.

AUbritt 611 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 No offense to the OP, but how is this thread different from the one posted by @Malcolm_FleX48 a little while ago that got merged into the coaches thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these are proven SEC head coaches that were winners at their previous schools, at least for a time. Other than these four, I don't have a name that is available to Auburn. Do you think Kirby or Saban will drop what they are doing and come here? They left Meyer off that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG 34,055 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I am starting to think Matt Rhule will be available much quicker than we expect. That can throw a wrench in things. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he was OL coach for the Giants one year. I’m sure he would know how to fix things. I’m intrigued. Far more than the usual names thrown around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUx 3,016 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 You know, Michael John McCarthy or John Calvin Garrett might be good fits. They've coached in a dysfunctional organization. They would immediately mesh with Fabianich who would not have to be bought-out. They have given names worthy of an old, very passive aggressive, and judgmental portion of the fanbase. "Cowboys" might be close enough to defend against the, "they ain't from around here," and "them potato people just ain't a good fit" crowd.

Maybe it’s the scientist in me, but there’s nothing more annoying than down votes with absolutely no critique or explanation. So, to those of you who think Lane is a proven SEC coach… why? Has he had great defenses? Am I forgetting several marquee upsets of high ranked teams? How has he “proven” himself? And to be clear, I’m not saying he won’t or can’t succeed. Just challenging the premise that he’s a “proven” success as an SEC coach. It’s simple!! And you’re a scientist??? He has proven that he can win 10 games at Ole Miss! He currently has his team undefeated. Besides Vandy and Mississippi State, I would say it’s the third or fourth hardest places in the conference to win at. Not including vandy in anything, Besides Kentucky and aTm, I think it’s the only school that hasn’t played for a conference championship since that 1992 season. I think that qualifies as a proven coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
