Mentions several people like Cristobal, Butch Davis, etc but regarding Kiffin specifically:
"There is a younger local option in Florida Atlantic head coach Lane Kiffin. His profile was bigger than his employer’s when he took the job in December of 2016, and mushroomed further during his 2017 debut that saw the Owls go 11-3 and win their first Conference USA title. During that run, Kiffin shot down numerous job questions by citing his love for FAU’s location; such objections would become moot if Miami were to come calling. However, the Lane Train brings its own baggage at any stop, and FAU’s drop from 11-3 to 5-7 in 2018 raises concerns his 2017 success was more about offensive coordinator Kendal Briles than Kiffin."
Pretty much sums it up for me.

How many years of head coach experience does Manny have ?Posted On: Dec 31st 2018, 6:03 AM #384460
They wanted continuity, and they got it…but not seeing this end well (in a couple years).
Defensive guys never seem to make great head coaches for the most part, do they?
