Lane Kiffen - why not?

[Stinger_1066]

I know he has baggage, but he's past all that and is in good standing with the NCAA.

He definitely has the swagger that we all wish Riley had. He has shown he can compete in the SEC.

Matt Corrol is going pro. Unless he lands Arch Manning, why would he not want to trade up to the OU job? Think of what he could do with CW's talent.

Would love to see the Lane Train pull in to Norman.

Bargaining is what step in the stages of grief?

Kiffin - sorry - too late to correct the spelling in the thread title.

[QuakerMayfield]

We just had 5 seasons of him.

[ChapelHillSooner]

Because he is not committed to anything other than Lane Kiffin.

We saw what that results in.

[SoonerHank]

I used to hate kiffin. He left a trail of disaster wherever he went. However, I think he’s matured and learned from that. I think he’s a great coach and I would definitely consider him. The major reason I wouldn’t want him, is he would leave as soon as he had a better offer or things became difficult. We don’t need that.

Corral

[Das_Oberon]

Because he’s a job hopper.

[Meatgator]

He’ll fuck ur sister, and leave her with the clap.

[Bravesooner]

Others have mentioned it and I agree. We don't want to be in this situation again in 3-5 years. Cannot trust him.

Perfect explaination. If he succeeds, Jerruh would come calling and that’s an easy choice for a man like him.

[RockFlagandEagle]

Believe he would have similar issues in the licker room that Riley had. Seems he likes to be cool guy more than disciplinarian.

And I agree with those saying he wouldn't be around long term.

[CrimsonOberon]

If the one concern about someone is how loyal they really are, there are better candidates.

Lane has a ton of baggage and reputation - maybe, but Joe C wouldnt.

You say he’s matured but then admitted he has no loyalty. Isn’t that a major part of his maturity issues?

I guess there is more that I don’t know about. Curious about the trail of disaster that isn’t related to the bailing on every team.

I would take Meyer because at least you get a proven commodity that will win and win big.

Had Riley won at least one title, I’d almost consider his hire worth it. As it is I wish we had never known who Lincoln Riley was. Don’t care if that means we didn’t have six conference titles in a row. Don’t care if it means we continued at the pace of the Knight/Bell years.

In the annals of OU football coaches, it is a toss up between Blake and Riley as the most disastrous hire in OU history. For all his f’ ups, Blake left us in better shape than Riley.

skunks do not change their stripes..
Joe will hire someone squeaky clean.....professionally and personally

[WISooner]

the risks with Kiffin outweigh the rewards.
There is far too much baggage with him.
not sure it is worth it. great offensive mind, terrible person and terrible representative for the university.

[bsf]

he’s a goof ball and we don’t want another coach with “swagger”, that was a huge part of lincoln riley’s problem. if we want to be a championship program we need a coach that’ll rip your head off, not some goober acting like a clown for social media.

Ah, the old licker room. Reminds me of a former establishment in my neck of the woods called "Beaver Liquor."

I seem to be having problems with spelling today.

[Methinks]

There’s a reason why when people heard what LR did, they said “what a Lane Kiffen move.” We don’t need any more of that.

That said, the Kiffen vs. Sark war of words would be EPIC. And ala Barry, Kiffen might show up to OU/TX wearing a Fuck Texas hat, and a Sark’s Tarts ring tee. As someone else said, I’d love to laugh at it, but would probably rather it be associated with another school.

I haven't kicked tou in the shins in a while. Didn't want you to think I had forgotten about you.

And FTR, I'd be on the Lane Train.

Most Uber successful people are obnoxious.

He is a damn good coach who would kick ass and change the vibe at Oklahoma.

[Catfish]

Lane Kiffin would leave our program in worse shape than LR did. Wait! Are they like related in some way, like maybe incest.

[flatsix]

Lane Kiffin is a cunt. Some folks on this board are upset and feel done hard by LR. Lane Kiffin has zero integrity in his entire body.

[really]

OU is better than Lane Kiffin...someone compared him to a young Barry....heheh no

[soonerknight]

No. Explanation: No means NO!!!

[UtahSooner83]

Because the guy excels at the timeless art of douchebaggery.

[traxx]

Our coach just left for usc. Do we really wanna hire the guy that usc fired on the plane ride home from a loss?

Uh…..they threw his stuff off the team bus and did not give him a ride to the sirport or from airport forget but read a whole thing on this when it happen. I mean they abandoned this dude and everyone said his career was over. He went to Alabama and resurrected his career but his personality will clash with OUr culture!!!

He’s mastered the art of the tweet for sure and high school/college kids get his vibe. Baker and Kyler were immature and made a bad exit but learned from it at ou. I think Lane has learned some lessons. I just don’t see him settling for okie life for long.

I never said he wasn’t loyal. Just because a guy wants to chase the next big thing doesn’t mean he’s disloyal. We all look for challenges and more comfort and security. You can do it the right way honestly OR you can do it the wrong way and burn every bridge and be a lying POS like Riley.

Kiffin has no ties to Oklahoma and to him it’s just a job. There’s no crime or disloyalty in that. It is what it is. It’s also why I wouldn’t want him at OU. He’d be very successful at OU but he’d leave if the NFL came calling in 3-5 years which is why I wouldn’t want him at OU.
