Do you want Kiffin to return to Tennessee?

Cosigned

 

Why begrudgingly?

Think Michigan State and LSU wouldn't take Saban back just because he left at one time?

Not a better coach out there that could be had for $4M.

 

I would take him back to have another shot at his wife.

 

Yeah, I can't believe that didn't work out for you guys.

 

[uck fay] no. you have to be kidding me. funny - the same people who think an 8 win season would be horrible because it would ensure Dooleys continued employment would want this [ock sucker cay] back.

 

An 8 win season wouldn't be good. Not because it would mean Dooley is coming back, but just because 8 wins isn't good in general.

 

Yeah, not quite.

 

Yep. Doesn't matter how well she treats your wiener if you have to worry about her [uck fay]ing one of the neighbors every waking minute....it ain't worth it....unless you are into that kind of thing..I guess.

Once a gal like that is gone it is best you keep it that way.

 

is that it? If this is a legitimate question, I will say there are extremely higher odds of us landing a better coach than Kiffin. And at the very least, a coach that is on par with him that didn't anger and alienate most of the fan-base.

 

Kiffin is a young coach on the verge of leading an undermanned team to a national title run in his third season at USC. I can't honestly come up with a young guy with his credentials right now.

 

Undermanned might be overstating it. They have a lot more talent than we do (partly because so many of his recruits flaked out here)

Don't get me wrong, I think he's a good coach, but I'm confident that if we could get him to come back, we could get someone just as good and one that most of the fanbase doesn't hate. Irrational as many of them may be, it doesn't matter.

 

He took 46 scholarship guys to Eugene and won. The scholly reductions are about to hit him too.

I'm struggling to find another guy in his mid 30's with a resume as good as his. You do make a good point about the hatred the fanbase has for him. Do you think that would last once he started winning games? Doug Dickey ran off to Florida and later came back as the AD during Tennessee's run in the 90's. Fans forgave him.

(slight edit: Dickey was here in the 80's too. He just presided over that run and some still love him for it)

 

It's really a matter of opinion - and depends on what's important to you. The best comparison I can think of off hand is having a hot wife who leaves you for another man. Would you want her back?

 

Depends on if I owed her child support

I'm kidding. I would take him back but I would be scared every time an NFL job opened up.

 

I'll call this comparison a stretch.
