Kiffin is trying so hard to be like Saban when he's being interviewed - from the positioning himself where he can look into the camera to the hand gestures while speaking. The man has no authenticity at all.

Freshwater will need to wear a bulletproof vest whenever he returns to Oxford.

After all the bluster about LSU’s terrible contract with BK, they one upped themselves with Kiffin contract. What could go wrong.
He’ll do enough Joey Freshwater shit to be fired with cause if he doesn’t win enough.

I have no idea but this has to be a recruiting violation no? Pretty sure a dead period starts immediately following conclusion of regular season. Would be record time even for the SEC

Over under on time frame for him grinding on recruits?

Jesus, Jon Sumrall who UF just hired is a Kentucky alum. If they had fired Stoops two weeks ago while UF was still chasing their tail with Kiffin they could have had him. I mean, no guarantee he'll translate to the P4 but at least he has demonstrable success as a HC and worked in the SEC before.

Sumrall may be a UK alum but this would be a career decision. UF is unarguably a better job than UK. It is arguably a top 4 SEC job. If you're looking for a place where you can compete at the highest level, and go toe to toe, against LSU, Alabama, UT and UGA then sentimentality aside the decision is a no brainer (UF>UK).

By the way, I'd bet a chunk of change that UK reached out to Sumrall through backchannels weeks ago to gauge interest. That's how these deals are done. He was probably interested but wouldn't commit to them at that time because he was on the radar, and likely the fallback, at both LSU and UF.

Oh, I agree totally. I'm just saying UF was all in on Kiffin for a minute and UK could have tried to get to him first. Once Florida was in on Sumrall it all came together quickly, but there was a moment when it could have happened for them. Maybe not though. Stein would be a nice get for them. Zero chance Hartline leaves OSU to take over UK.

Why wouldn’t they let Stoops retire after the run he has had there? Let him leave right.

In my opinion, if UK had really wanted Sumrall they should have hired him last year when there was limited market competition. Once jobs the stature of UF and LSU opened there was almost no chance that when the musical chairs stopped that Sumrall wouldn't be snapped up by a program >UK football.

If you're not one of maybe a dozen or so teams this is practically a certain outcome if your coach becomes extremely successful. As Brian Kelly proved to us this can happen to even a blue blood. Not to mention Ole Miss knew exactly who they hired when the hired Joey Freshwater.

Sucks for them but w/e.
