Kiffin had no real interest NOR were we going to pay another Jimbo type salary NOR pay for another large buyout (reduced a lot of funds and have implemented many items to pay that off). Kiffin makes practically the same amount as Jimbo annually, but wasn't guaranteed for 10 years.

Don't think Bjork likes Kiffin either.
Kiffin isn't worth 1/4th of Jimbo money.


Neither was Jimbo.

We had DJ Durkin and Bobby Petrino on our staff and we are talking about trash? Kiffin would fit right in with our win at all cost mentality.

Legitimate program..? We've fijished ranked once in top 10 in the last 20 yrs and haven't won a conference champ this millennium.. that's our biggest problem is we think we're legitimate..!

Kiffin has won 10 or more games more times in last 3 years than we have in 25 yrs. With way less resources.. let's stop thinking we're too good for any coach.. yea he's a total **** but the guy wins way more than we do..


Agree except we have been highly ranked twice (2012 when we were excellent and 2020 the COVID year) in the last 20 years.

He doesn't get A&M

Even more reason to hire him. He wins

He does some genius stuff with play/formation design.


Yes he does. I still think Sark is a little better play designer, but it's close

Of course you do

Lane Kiffin is the GOAT at Ole Miss; if you know anything about that program you understand what he's doing there is unbelievably impressive.

I doubt Lane wanted the job. I'm sure he got his raise and extension partly because of our opening
By all accounts, he and his daughter love it there and they don't want to leave.

I'm guessing too many big money ags think we are too good for Lane.

I'm happy we got Elko, but Lane is the one coach we didn't hire who we are most likely to wish we had. He knows how to win and it would have knee capped Ole Miss.
Thanks and gig'em

During the search looch made it seem like kiffin wanted the job but that we wouldn't even give him 1 minute of our time. Does anyone know why? Is it really just becuase he said mean things?


He was easily my number 1 choice, not sure why we did not go after him:

Recruiting, portal, and coaching….great at all three things Urban Meyer said we needed in our next coach.

I'm excited for elko, but 2 of those 3 above are question marks!

I guess we could hire literal Satan if it meant we went undefeated for the rest of eternity.

We could also try to hire the Pope and lose every game for the rest of eternity.

Honestly I don't like either of those options, and there's a zone somewhere in the middle that I'm comfortable with for any team I support. Judging by the comments staff made on the banned posts, I agree with the banned posters about why Kiffin falls outside of my "win/not be a amoral dbag" ratio sweet spot, without resorting to the same obscenity.

I know this is an internet forum and I'm supposed to be obnoxious, but sometimes I think having class is more important than winning.

I'll see myself out.

Kiffin wanted more money from Ole Miss. Not a new gig.

He is a chump.
As much as Kiffin trolls A&M on social media, giving him an offer would absolutely have resulted in him getting a raise from Ole Miss and then publicly turning down A&M on social media and insulting A&M in the process. He's unprofessional and a dewsh. Good coach though. I think we got the staff to beat those guys going forward.

I get your point, but try to use correct stats at least. 2012 and 2020. I don't buy that you are an Aggie at all because you would definitely remember both of those years if you were

This. Agreed.
Kiffin is a jerk. But he is their jerk and they like it.
The work he has done is amazing. With this recruiting/protal class coming up he will get better.

2003: Kiffin at Ole Miss, 11-2, won Peach Bowl / A&M 7-6, lost Texas Bowl




Thank you. I would also add more context… Lane hasn't won a SEC division, nor even beaten a SEC division champ. Jimbo beat three divisional champions, Florida (20), Bama (21), and LSU (22), while managing injuries at key positions. Lane may be a better OC than Jimbo, but he is not a better football HC than Jimbo.

I've told y'all before, I am bias towards Lane because we had a hometown kid that coached with Lane at Tenn and USC, and it did not go well. I would never recommend a kid to go play for Lane.

Probably the same reason we never gave Leach a chance.
Do you mean the reason that they (Kiffin and Leach teams) beat us.
Maybe we didn't have a shot at Kiffin, but we could have gotten Leach.....

He has been passed over by Miami and Auburn. Maybe that changes, but I think there is a reason. Can't argue with his results.

I grew up near Oxford and sorry have to throw the BS flag on that.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Oxford is my favorite town in the USA, but i am sure there would be people who would choose College Station.

Ags77, saying positive things about both Sark and Kiffin in the same post is risky business on this Board, but agree with you.

I know what you mean. I wasn't nominating either of them for man of the year, lol.

From a coaches viewpoint, Sark is one of the best play designers around. He does a great job at using formations and motions to get guys an advantage in space. Lane is really good, too. Imo, just a tick behind Sark.

The problem with Kiffin is that he's basically a younger Jimbo or Sumlin. He'll beat up on a lot of crappy teams, but he's not going to have the consistency necessary against teams with 9-10 wins a year to compete for a conference title. He's an above average coach and a good offensive coordinator, but I think he lacks the program level discipline to go up against guys like Smart and Saban.

Others have already stated that he doesn't get A&M….that is a fact…
Not only that he has taken media jabs both at A&M and Jimbo the past few seasons….seems like every time he's had the opportunity…..

So even though he may be a good coach, it's his own fault he's ostracized himself from Aggie Nation….and most people just despise him and his big mouth, snarky remarks toward us….

At Ole Miss he beat Jimbo 3 years in a row, and probably would have won in 2020 too

Reading Texags for several hours today. Why would we waste the time talking about Kiffin? He is not our coach and I doubt he ever will be. I for one is happy about that. Even today we saw him on the field talking / mouthing off to opposing players. Is this the example we want. Win at all cost? I say no. Also, having all the new transfers next year, how will he manage all the egos that comes with that. I predict the locker room will be divided at Old Miss next year, proving you cannot "buy" a championship. Let's take this energy and get behind our current coach and the true Aggies we saw the other night. Gig'em.
