Scratch Lane Kiffin off your HC list

This will forevermore be the thing you can point to if people try to assert that everyone who runs a big time college football program is smart.

At the NFL level, I think it's a big part of the reason why McDaniels got cold feet and spurned the Colts. Yes, it looked really bad, but I think the guy realizes if he takes another HC job and it blows up in his face again that's probably his last HC shot in the NFL. He has to make sure his next opportunity is the perfect fit.

With that said, I think the guy's a POS and I hope we stay far away. If he is the guy, then I hope I'm very wrong.

Didn't he do really well at FAU?

Lots of guys do well at lower levels of competition only to fall apart when they try to make the step up to the "big leagues". His first stint at USC as OC and recruiting coordinator ended in disaster when Reggie Bush was ruled ineligible leading to the 2005 season being vacated. His stint with the Raiders - disaster. His stint with Tennessee - disaster. 2nd stint with USC as HC - disaster.

If I was an NFL or NCAA P5 team, I wouldn't touch Lane Kiffin.

He won at USC. If he can stay out of controversy he can do well. Ole Miss fans seem to love the hire. But they have had a rough go...

    • He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc. 
    • The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position. 
    • Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
