Why would anyone want to play in Charlotte?

I don't know of many coaches who would want to take a $2 million + pay cut to move from the SEC to ACC.

The smart move is to go somewhere to get a championship and then get hired by Bama when Saban retires.

Miami has much stronger pedigree from the 80s until today. Has a much higher ceiling and I think anyone with much football knowledge would agree.

He’s talking about house prices and öööö like Miami offered him.

Agree to make several million dollars less per season? You sound like a Miami fan trying to relive the glory days.

If Miami want to be relevant again, they would build a 40k seat stadium where the visitors have 10 yards of sideline room and the home team has 15 yards of sideline room. Make it a complete bowl with the sun visors around the top to lock in the noise

Until then, they aren't serious about modern college football

Miami is a very expensive place to live. I realize in fantasy land that is meaningless, but I'm certain it is every bit as important to a head coach as it is to any of us. I just don't see any advantage to coaching Miami.

At his level of income he’s gonna have a nice place and still drive a nice car. The advantage is possibly going undefeated and being the guy who brought “Da U” back. He will never achieve more than a 2 loss SEC West sorta contender at Ole Miss.
 
Kiffen isn’t giving up the SEC to go to Miami. He’ll make millions at Ole Miss and win Natty‘s when he goes to Bama. Life is good for Lane Kiffen these days.

Are you not watching? He just got there and is 8-2 overall, 4-2 in conference and 2nd to Bama in the SEC west. AT OLE MISS! Dude can coach and he obviously isn’t scared to coach against the big boys. What I like about Kiffen is he isn’t the traditional coach who is playing the game. He’s already been thru the gauntlet because he was hired at Tennessee so young. He’s had fans hate him, admins hate him, the press totally against him, yet he kept his head down and kept moving forward. He is basically at the point most coaches don’t get to until their 60’s which is- he can be himself and comfortable in his own skin. He’s already been there done that by age 46. We see this with older guys like Saban, Leech, CPJ, Beamer, Spurrier who could just sit back and be honest because they have no one to appease anymore. That’s Kiffin right now at 46. He can just coach because he could care less what fans, his AD, the press, or anyone thinks about him. It‘s a great place to be. He’s gonna get players because kids see him as cool AND he has results.

Ole Miss had a QB certainly but the Sec west is down this year.
Uga has to be the luckiest team, easy schedule in a down SEC year.

I know we are stuck with Collins for another agonizing year. My real point is we need a AD that doesn't have his head stuck up his own......

Lets find a AD who has shown he can find and hire an up and coming football coach. That's as hard as finding a good up and coming coach but imo more valuable. Tech will always struggle to retain a good and successful coach, see Bobby Ross. That's why it is extremely important we have the capability to do the best we can to retain one, if we ever find another one, and even more so be able to replace with quality anytime one moves to greener pastures.

Tstan sucks

Agreed. And Kiffen took advantage in year 2. That’s what good coaches do. They seize opportunities when opportunities present themselves.

Dude failed miserably at USC, Tennessee, and in the NFL.

Kiffin is the typical run of the mill HC, that looks great when he lucks into an Elite QB with early round NFL Talent, and when he doesn't, he's just an overpaid Guy wearing headsets, no different than any other.

I guess we can put you in the "camp" of the guys that believe in "magical play-calling" as the difference between Teams.

If Kiffin was auch a great HC, why hasn't Olé Miss fielded a great defense this year?

We can barely afford the $2.7 Million we pay CGC, we can barely afford decent pay for Assts, how can we pay for a guy like Kiffin that will want $6milion minimum, plus more for Assts, AND he'll want a "network".

That way when he identifies Recruits he really wants, he can let the "network" know to get the Bag, Car, Job for a relatives, etc lined up and ready to go.

Kiffin would never accept GT FB in its current State, try to hire an SEC HC with talk of "40 yr plans" and how we have great academics to sell, and they will laugh in our faces.

True story:

Everyone always talks about Urban Meyer and how he is a "man of integrity" and that other bullcrap that the TV Networks used to sell when he was doing the Halftime Show for Fox.

Meyer always loves to publicly talk about how he's always wanted to Coach at ND.

Meyer interviewed once for the ND Job in the past, maybe before he took over Fla (? not sure), during the Interview he gave the ND "Committee" a list of 10 Names, and asked if he were to take the ND Job could he get those guys in School, ND looked at the list and said, if you were our HC only 1 of these Guys has a "chance" to get a FB scholarship.

Meyer said, thanks for your time, we might as well end this interview now, if I'm expected to win Games, I need to be at a School that will allow me to win Games.

99% of the guys in the Business are dirtbag mercenaries that are trying to line their pockets, they talk honor & integrity in Pressers and behind the scenes they do whatever it takes to win.

All these fantasy HCs that you are dreaming about will never be a good fit for GT.

NO, I'm not happy with 3 wins, but I'm realistic enough to understand when TCU & Purdue are $6 million per yr Jobs and we only pay $3million and Mich State is now paying $95 million over Ten years plus adding $6million to the Assts. salary pool, I'm realistic enough to understand that the hotshots at the middle tier will simply wait for a $4million Job before taking our $2.7 to $3million job.

All you people demanding change are only putting us closer to a similar unknown that might be worse than CGC.

I hate to say it, but the modern finances of P5 CFB might mean CGC gets 5-6 years to get things corrected.

I'm not happy, I thought we'd see 7-8 wins this year, but I didn't foresee how bad our 4th, 5th, & 6th year guys would play.

That's why we are where we are, guys in their 4th thru 6th yrs out of HS have spit the bit and underachieved

Gotta be at least 55K to 60K seats, maybe low 50K as far as max capacity, something like Baylor or Minnesota's on campus stadium.

A 40K stadium sends the wrong message, it sends the message that they aren't serious about CFB, that is the size of a nice G5 Stadium.

I understand budget constraints, but you have to let Recruits know that you are still "in the CFB business"

We owe GOL a debt of gratitude, imagine how hard it would be to Recruit if we still had that 46K Configuration for Grant Field

I think Miami could get away with 40-45k if they build it tight. Being in Miami helps with that. If they were in Indiana or somewhere like that, no way.

Sometimes you seem reasonably smart, the other times you sound like a 12 year old. Yes, Kiffen failed when he was young. He has turned that around and is now one of the most sought after coaches in the country. He’s in year 2 at Ole Miss. ANd no, I don’t believe in magical play calling because it’s a stupid concept. Coaches can either coach or they can’t. Kiffen is 8-2 in the SEC in his 2nd year. That says more than what he did over a decade ago. But feel free to keep bringing up Tennessee and the NFL when he is hoisting Natty‘s at Bama. You probably think Saban sucks bencaustic he failed at Michigan State and Miami.

12 yr old criticism notwithstanding, is Lane Kiffin a demonstrably better HC because he has changed, or because he happens to have an Elite QB?

What is he going to look like with a generic solid College QB with no NFL future?

Saban didn't fail at Mich State, never hinted at that

He quit at Miami (NFL) because he said, "there's no way to create an advantage, the Draft & Salary Cap equalizes Rosters".

So he went back to College where Recruiting, Taj Mahal Facilities, and a network of Bagmen can give you a Roster advantage, before the Game ever starts , and then the idiots calling the Game will wax poetic about all his Genius Playcalls and how hard he works, and then we have people on these msg boards that believe the announcers and they constantly pine for genius coaching.

Sorry for the "bonus coverage"

Kiffin is not coming here. Because HE WOULD NOT COME HERE. Don't act like he has not a good job at Ole Miss so far. At least his Ole' defense is not 115th in the country like ours. Ole Miss is probably the third best team in the SEC right now.
