    I dont know how much Lane we could take because of his attitude. But if you want the best Coach and high profile for recruiting i think he is the best right now.

    I am not sure he wouldnt be ed orgeron in 5 years where he cant sustain success but for the short term would be best hire.

    It really sort of pains me to say because i would prefer an experienced leader that has class and would bring instant credibility and class but i dont see that out there.

    Me neither. Feels like a guy who would turn things around quickly given the personnel we have, maybe even have us in playoff contention in a year or two. But sooner or later, he'll do something that makes us say, what have we done?

    He's cotton candy, fun in the short term, but ultimately unsatisfying. Something all adults know.

    Beat me to it.

    Again, with the looming title IX fallout/lawsuits, having Joey Freshwater roamin the campus doesnt seem to have a lot of upside.

    If I was Woodward I would hire Kiffin and make it crystal clear that you are on a very, very short leash. We are not going to tolerate the same shit we experienced the past two years.
