Coach KIFFIN 4/1 Arkansas

Post

If he were to leave for greener pastures, I would think a homerun Hire would be Tony Elliot or Jeff Scott. I think Tony Elliot makes a lot of sense.

1. Obvious favor from President Kelly
2. Worked under Dabo for his entire tenure as HC
3. Great recruiter "Named one of the top-25 recruiters in the nation in 2015 and one of the top-10 recruiters in the ACC by Rivals."
4. A broyles award receipient in 2017
5. Coached Travis Ettiene, Wayne Gallman, and Andre Ellington which would appeal to our current and future running back stable
6. Currently makes about 1 million a year and wouldn't be taking a pay cut

7. Would be taking over a team in great position for him to win early and often.

Mike Leach could be intriguing and I still like the idea of Mark Richt. How about Charlie Strong? I like the idea of hiring an established name like we did with Lane. Enough of these “up and coming” coaches like Pelini and Partridge. We need a guy that already knows what a winning program looks like and has been at the head. Ok, maybe not Charlie Strong!

I think they gave the UW job to one of his Coordinators right away

Yes - Jimmy Lake (current DC) was immediately named the new head coach.

I trust our AD to make the right choice. It’s not looking good as far as Lane staying

I wasn't aware that Lane had hogs over his house until listening to the podcast. Not looking good for us especially if he leaves for a lower tier SEC program as I think he could do a lot better if he gave us one more year.

Only two reasons to go to Arkansas, ego and money. I just don't see any other reasons to go to Arkansas. Not likely to have any real success in the SEC, not an ideal place to live, nothing about it seems like a selling point. However, ego and money might be reason enough.

GO OWLS!!!
