Kiffin to Bama rumors heating up again
- Thread starter onewoof
- Start date
He also lost to State his first year. Surprising they didn't fire him on the spot.
I think Kiffin would jump at the chance if he got it, and Alabama might be in a hurry before their brand vanishes. They feel very entitled fans ads are depressed about that loss - some of the ones I know didn't even watch all the game. Love it.
Kiffins best wins

lsu finished 13 had them in oxford
2024 Georgia finished 2
Don't get me wrong. I'd swap places with them, but they've benefitted from some great schedules and really good timing.
Saban was the brand at Alabama. The history doesn’t mean crap if you’re not winning. Just ask Notre Dame, Nebraska, USC, and Miami. The history only matters if it’s recent. All those kids Saban got in his first couple classes were in diapers when Gene Stallings won their last natty. Alabama’s cachet grew because of Saban. They’d be stupid not to go after Lane and he’d be stupid not to take it.
Kiffin isn’t going anywhere but to the Bank and Boca in the offseason.
He’s got it made at Oxford.
He’s got it made at Oxford.
A total of 5 wins in the last four seasons when both teams were ranked. The same number MSU has had since the SEC went to split divisions in 1992.
There's a Mississippi kid playing for Bama I believe in free safety...looked like he was jogging on a lot of plays this weekend. He was an exceptional High School athlete but whoever his position coach is certainly doesn't have his attention.

They’ve had Vaught level scheduling…
Heard a lot of Bama players were loafing Saturday. That’s unacceptable.
I’m not sure what both teams being ranked has to do with anything.
But I know we have more than 5 wins against teams that ended up ranked in the last 15 years
the point is their schedule has been weak as 17
That’s a fact
Would I swap places? Yes
SCHEDULE HAS BEEN WEAK AS 17!!
Supposedly Saban was very influential on his replacement so Kiffin was a no go. But if I’m Bama….Kiffin would be my man this time around.
Every time I look at the Kiffen, I remember the Road Runner cartoons where the coyote would have a handful of dynamite or a keg of TNT that was about to go off.
Wouldn't you guess that Saban has an enormous ego? It's probably his biggest vice.
If Bama fires him, wouldn't he be hired 10 minutes later by UCLA, Stanford, etc thus lowering the buyout?
Yup, they all goo-goo / ga-ga over Lanes got a story coming out. Got this from an om fan yesterday. They about to pee & mess all over themselves. Shouldn’t that be stories because Lane’s got plenty? Saben ain’t even got a story out yet and he’s the winningest coach in football and Kiffin’s got a story? Must be true they never lost a game in the “Can’t see the forest for the trees” grove, they have a walk of “glampions”, and they never miss an opportunity to win a press conference.
Not sure bama would pay out DaBoer this season but certainly don’t believe they would let Kiff be the brand there, he’s as big as he wants to be at om for as long as he wants to be.
The ninja is already raising money. As an MSU fan that observes football fans in Alabama, every Tom, Dick, and Harry wants DeBoer out and they'll give there 25.75 to the fund to get rid of him. Not alot of happy football fans in the state of Alabama, right now.
Just imagine if every tom, dick and harry that was an msu fan gave $10/month or more!!
I believe bama can come up with the money. I don’t know if they’ll spend $70M on a buyout as opposed to putting a fraction of that into upgrading their roster.
Bama is not offering their head coaching job to Lane Kiffin, unless he wins a natty with Ole Miss.... maybe.
But if they ever did, he wouldn't take it. He's not doing battle or playing footsies with the Bama Mafia (the booster mafia - not the alphabet mafia)
I get it; you guys are desperately hoping Kiffin leaves Oxford and their program falls into some sort of disarray.
He's not.
If you want to beat the man, you got to spend money like the man.

This is the correct take on the whole Bama issue. If they want to improve and can raise a good portion of that money, they should invest it in the general manager ("athletic director"), free-agent scouting and NIL. DeBoer is a decent coach who can probably achieve there.
If their players are actually soft, then that would be worked out by improving the free agent scouting process within the portal. College football is now a pro sport; programs have to develop their evaluation and free agent signing to succeed.
Someone had to be the first coach after Saban lucky for him he will be fired a multi-millionaire. If I was in his shoes I would have done it.
