Defensive talent would also never be an issue. He could literally hire Mike Stoops as his coordinator and still have a better defense than 3/4 of the teams in FCS. Next, he'd be free of OU's puritanical compliance department. More bagmen and under the table dealings. Oh sure, there'd be the occasional dust-up with the NCAA for more egregious violations, but he'd skate through it.

Depends on the assistants he could have significant potential . Old news, but I believe it could work. Who cares if he is an Xs and Os guy? Mike McCarthy has pretty much just been a general overseer of his staff this year and they are doing pretty well with him just telling the Cowboys to go for it on 4th down every time.

Stoney Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 Who has the higher ceiling? Ole Miss or Miami? The safest floor? A rebuilt Miami probably has the higher ceiling just because of the ACC and not being in the SEC West. Maybe Ole Miss has the safest floor? 8-9 wins with a knock off of Bama, Auburn, LSU or A&M a year and you should be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rebuilt Miami would certainly prove lucrative for Kiffin, and dude wouldn't even need to leave the area code for recruiting. But what does he want? Is he biding time to eventually replace Saban? Is he trying to find the right launching pad back into the NFL? Is he looking for a place to put down roots and carve out his own legacy? If you know the answer to those questions, you know what he's going to do next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a good team, you literally have 1 hurdle most years, Clemson. Miami, if you can get them to fully invest in football again, has the highest ceiling. And right now, 10 wins gets you a raise and an extension if you can do it in consecutive years. Ole Miss also has some of that same appeal, but you can't win the conference consistently. You can literally have a National Championship caliber team and lose 3 games at Ole Miss (or any SEC school for that matter.) I'd go with Miami in a heartbeat if I were Kiffen. He has appeal to recruits meaning he can rebuild that mess. But Diaz has been looking strong here towards the end of the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Dykes, I feel like they would be hiring a scheme (another Xs and Os guy) and not someone that can lure in and keep some of these DFW studs.

There are a few SMU insiders that said he was offered 4 mil a year, but TCU came with more. Hard to believe fan boards, but also I believe program support was another issue. SMU struggles to fill the stadium, and a P5 move isn't happening anytime soon. They will continue to be a good G5 school, but I don't see them making a move to the Big 12 anytime soon.

Coach Rab Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Part of me thinks that Florida should be a hot job right now. Florida St is average, Miami is average, and the G5 schools pose no threat in recruiting. For a guy that knows they can win, I would heavily consider this job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
