The coaching carousel right now is crazy due to crazy expectations from middling programs in the P5 conferences. Kiffin would have 3 years MAX to turn Arkansas into a double digit win per season program, which hasn't been the case since Petrino a decade ago (Fun fact, Petrino apparently lives in Boca Raton). That is damn near impossible to do - and hardly worth the money to move to NW Arkansas only to be damaged goods when you aren't able to make a miracle happen….with players you didn't even recruit.
Coaches become legends because they build teams and stick around. Kiffin should stay in Boca, continue to build a team that is nationally relevant like Boise State. Beat a P5 team more than one time 12 years ago. Beat a ranked team. Be a ranked team. Beat MTSU and Marshall on a regular basis. Use his platform to call for reforms in the playoff system to expand it to automatically include G5 conference champs - even if only as some sort of play-in, and bring together G5 teams to refuse to play P5 teams without at least 1 home game for 2 away.
He has almost zero pressure here as long as he is getting at least 5 or 6 wins a season in Boca with a bowl/conference run sprinkled in there, and if he leaves and fails that will be his second fall - and who comes calling at that point? Finish his career in Boca, advocate for systemic changes in the FBS playoff, get his name on the stadium and a statue out front, and enjoy life in sunny South Florida with a 7 figure salary.
Am I missing something?

Kiffin's career is such an interesting story and I think the fact that he went to so high so quickly, and then fell has to play a big role in his thinking.

I luv the enthusiasm however….
3yrs at P5= $15mil
15yrs at G5= $15mil
That's hard to say no too….

I don't think this is true. If he's in a bowl by year 3 I think Arkansas fans would be happy at this point. Morris didn't get fired because he couldn't win 10 games, he got fired for getting blown out by Western Kentucky and North Texas while also losing to San Jose State and Colorado State. If Kiffin didn't lose to four G5 teams in two years he would be fine.

Is it a done deal with Arkansas. The silence is deafening. Do we all expect this to end after the championship game. Love the owls avatar for a Arkansas fan. So basically it’s overPosted On: Dec 4th 2019, 2:58 PM #391450
I don't think it its a done deal by any means. Ark has continued interviewing other candidates since Sunday. I have grown more confident with each passing day he still could be here in 2020. Good news is I think we will know by Sunday.
