Just announced - UCLA has fired Jim Mora.
Kiffin returning to California rumors beginning in 3…2…1…Posted On: Nov 19th 2017, 2:27 PM #373623
I'm just going to leave this here.
Uneducated fans & pundits looking for a quick joke have been saying Lane to UF or UTK. But IF, yes if, Lane leaves, UCLA would be to where. https://t.co/Qp9i9CosQk

why don't we leave it up to Kiffin to stay or not stay and where he will go?Posted On: Nov 19th 2017, 1:56 PM #373616
what the hell else are we supposed to talk about? That is LITERALLY the purpose of this message board.
UCLA checks a lot of the boxes for Kiff, aveng himself against USC, close to his kids, big money and exposure. Hopefully they’re gun shy about the ever tweeting TD signaling mad man.
I was saying last night, we are a really good spot for him in many ways, mainly bc we aren’t that stuck up. Lane pulling the train horn on the sidelines was awesome, he’d be shredded for that if we played on ABC. Selfies on the field with students…gets harder to be yourself the higher you go.

ALL. OF. THIS!
I think we get a year or two more and then Lane has a lot of thinking to do about lifestyle, quality of life, etc.
His personality is what it is and that's tough to change or even restrain as a human being, especially as one gets older. Here, we really have no choice to deal with it; and I think it's great.
But, he's a competitor in a high profile, high stress kind of job. I think his career arc at FAU will match President Kelly's.

UCLA is easily the best fit of all the coaching vacancies.
I do think there’s a lot to be said for being the coach of a school that loves your personality. He never had Lane Train t-shirt giveaways at UT or USC, and Bama was ready for him to move on. Here he’s got a comfortable salary, and a fan base that’s becoming obsessed with him. Hard to leave that behind.

Unfortunately, I could see Kiffin leaving for that and to be closer to his kids.
That's if they want him.

See if he can get the 5 star guys and win a lot why go to say Ole Miss where you are always the stepchild. The fans have embraced him here even after knowing his past, we both needed each other. He’s holding up his end of the deal but administration needs to step up. Part of the perception of a Power 5 is pay. If we can offer the million fine, but add a lucrative bonus structure that can be met for him to make more. We are unique and overall we can keep him, but he has to know that he has full control and that we have his back. He can go to UCLA today and he will never have full control, once they lose a few years to SC he will be right back at square one. He stays to build himself and look he’s getting the attention that he desires here. If he leaves after year 2, he’s going to be out of a job again, that’s how this business works.

I Agree. This is the first opening that actually seems like a viable landing spot for Kiffin. Program with a high ceiling that also might consider Kiffin right now

I’m sure he knows if he is going to establish something at FAU it will take a little more time. I’m sure he will move on at some point.
That’s the way I see it.
What ever he intends to do I think it has already been discussed with Kelly and Chun. They were fully aware of the risk of a short stay when they hired him so I’m sure it’s one of the first things they talked about.
