Since speculating on Dan's future is all the rage now, along with possible replacements, here's an interesting one.

Would we/should we go after Kiffin? I was reading an article on where he might land after this year and it made me wonder if we'd give him a shot if Dan were to leave for whatever reason.

Your thoughts?

We should not go after him because he's a nut, and would be there only a year or two anyway.

Any chance that Art Briles would ever be hired at MSU if Mullen left? We helped Jackie Sherrill rehabilitate himself and he rehabilitated our football team in return.

I'm sure this will be very unpopular but here it is: this is one reason why I won't be too terribly upset if loafers goes to UF. I always thought we should have taken a chance on a Petrino, Kiffin, Briles type hire but no way Strick would EVER do that. He'd lose too much credibility with his boys like Jeff Long.

My point is winning truly is everything. I'm ready to make a hire based on winning and not going after the safe hire. Yeah we would take tons of backlash in the media but really, who cares if we win? We took a ton of crap with the Simmons deal and look where we are now? No one cares and Simmons looks as advertised.

If loafers goes to Gainsville and unbuttons that top button, I'd love to find someone who would make a hire like that.

Hope Briles nor Hudspeth are even given any consideration. We've come a long way to hire a dirty crook

If Briles showed any interest we would be fools not to do everything in our power to hire him.

Assuming we had a vacancy, of course, which is unlikely.

That's fine. When we start truly competing with the big boys you can look down from your high horse at all the fun we're having without you.
