Everyone keeps praising him as if he’s a saint, but I honestly can’t even remember him speaking to the media once about anything. That’s not necessarily a bad thing if he’s getting stuff done behind the scenes, but I haven’t heard of anything actually happening.

So am I missing something? What’s he doing that’s so much different than McGillis or Gilbert?

I actually liked McGillis. He was good at PR. He came into the stands in the endzone a lot and shook hands. He also got the stadium pressure washed once and some new signage. Other than that not much difference in the last three so far.

Was he carrying his Lego coliseum with him?

that would be like hitting the 100,000.00 scratch-off....we're not lucky that way....firing E12L after a year liquidated the 4-leaf clovers we had in that 'endowment'...

hell, with our current budget/bennett and the jets at the helm, McClain will be fortunate to get rid of him next year...

While I don't think it's anything close to a "sure thing," I'm going to hold out some hope. As I said just after the FAU game, Hopson had this unusually big smile on his face when he shook hands with Kiffin after losing the game. I looked up the FAU defensive coordinator, and he's been named the interim head coach- and doesn't seem like he will be following Kiffin. Since Hopson's coaching background has always been defense, he played football at Ole Miss, and has been here for the past four seasons- I can see where Kiffin might think he would be a fit at DC and great for recruiting Mississippi. While he hasn't been good at recruiting here, when you have an SEC team to recruit for it shouldn't be difficult to get a few 4 star players to sign the dotted line.

I saw that and it was pathetic. No one should ever have a smile that big and look so happy after getting your ass kicked in a game where the conference championship is on the line. Super loser mentality and Beta male move.

No just artist renderings.
