But the new AD should still kick tires. If he deems Cristobal and Kiffin as legit candidates who have interest, you still make the move if you can get them. You don’t need to have a ton of candidates, just the right “one”. I’m not sure either of those are just that but if the new athletic director is sure, you make the move that otherwise you’ll still be making in another year. I still don’t believe Stricklin didn’t interview anyone but Napier. Might just be to put out to the public that “hey, we got our #1 choice” but damn, to me, that’s a bad look for an athletic director to publicly admit that you looked at ONE candidate for a job this big. I’d NEVER want to put that out to the public as I think it conjures up images of being lazy in your search. And if Napier ain’t all that, then…Grrrr!
SEC west coaches…
Now that’s what’s nuts!!
Saban
Jimbo
Kelly
Kiffin
Leach
Which explains why Kiffin is so eager to get out as well. He is not winning anything in that division anytime soon…
I am beginning to think that UM should give Manny another year rather than make some sort of desperation grab. Unless we do something about recruiting, I don’t foresee Hurricane domination. We need LBs and the big guys on both sides of the ball. What we don’t need are any more WRs. Good WRs are a dime a dozen. We’re not getting the great ones anyway or perhaps we get one as a fluke. Miami is a weak team that gets pushed around. We have a feckless rushing attack. Take away our passing and we’re without remedy.
The program already has one foot in the grave….returning manny for another year and u might as well just close the casket shut.
The man cannot coach winning football.
That’s just his expense account.
I don’t see Kelly recruiting well in LSU. Different beast than ND or Cinci
He’s an asshole, but he’s done well everywhere. I don’t think he’ll do bad there. But I’ll be rooting against him.
This!
