My $0.02. Kiffin has a great football mind and knows Xs and Os as good as any coach in the country, and a great recruiter. Thus far, he has been a poor manager as a head coach. It will be interesting to see if he learned anything in that regard from Saban.

I never said he couldn't coach and he will get FAU wins at any price which is a bit scary to me but hey, what does it matter?

I just think he's a train wreck that's done damage everywhere he's been. I think he is unethical and there is plenty out there to support that. The way BAMA bounced him supports that as well.

UT wasn't a dumpster fire until Kiffin left. He won with Fulmer's players. The way Kiffin left was unprofessional as hell BTW. I'm not a fan of any P5 team but I watched that crap and it was terrible. He lied the whole way to players and fans and then had Ogeron call 26 recruits to flip them to USC while at UT on a UT phone. They took everything that wasn't bolted down. That is well documented. He also committed 12 recruiting violations as well that the new staff inherited. BTW, the Reggie Bush thing happened while he was the receivers coach and it was going on with Mike Williams too who he coached as well. Rumors were all over the place when I lived in LA. Kiffin undoubtedly knew about the money.

And yes, he had a 10-2 season at USC with Pete Caroll's players. The next season and a half, he dropped off a ton and went 4-7 in his last 11 games. He can win with other people's players or at a place where he can get 5 star athletes by snapping his fingers. That won't happen at FAU and it will be a real test for him. He can coach and things will improve. WKU fans didn't seem to mind Petrino so y'all will be happy I'm sure.

Yes I commented on the way he spends his money as it is indicative to the way he has lived his life and handled himself within his profession. You don't have to agree with it. Not hating, just stating an opinion based on a lot of facts. Good luck.
