He likely wants back into the NFL. I assume, because of his background as an NFL HC and how quickly he jumped from Penn State. And, I think once a coach has a taste of the NFL life they want to stay. Not always, but I’ll wager most. O’Brien would be short term. But if he turned Miami into a ACC...

Let’s see Mario’s recruiting at Oregon if USC‘s new HC can recruit. SoCal is plentiful with talent, as everyone knows. The right coach should be able to clean up and keep the out of towners from poaching the best.

Perhaps. But Kiffin can do the same at Ole Miss.

We should't be focused on hiring a lifer this go around. Schnelly had a five-year plan, hit his goal, and bolted for a new league. Jimmy took the job because he thought he would win big and make a jump to the NFL, and he did. Erickson likely had NFL aspirations, and split when given an...

Perhaps. I'm of the belief coaches that taste the NFL want to go back to the NFL for another opportunity at the HC job. Is this an issue? A HC at Miami whose goal is the NFL isn't likely to coddle players or accept ****-poor assistants. He took a job working for Saban. One could extrapolate...

Bill O'Brien would jump back to the NFL as soon as possible. And as proven at PSU, he didn't need to win the B1G or a NY6 bowl to jump after two seasons.

100%. I would not be upset with Kiffin. Like Mario, he's resurrected his career in Saban's Rehab. Did very well at FAU, but's FAU. Let's see how Ole Miss performs against Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas, and LSU this season. Kiffin was 0-4 last year. TAMU is also on the schedule (cancelled last...

Seriously! Sometimes I think passengers on the Lane Train are more in love with Kiffin's personality than his results. I've no doubt he's matured as a HC, like Mario, post-Saban rehab, but let's see how Ole Miss performs against Alabama, Auburn, LSU, and Arkansas this season. He went 0-4 last...

It's not relevant. FIU was a dumpster fire (although Mario did take them to their first bowl game.). Under those circumstances I will chose to ignore the first five years of his career, preferring to focus on what he's accomplished since.

True for any HC anywhere. Meyer, Saban, and Sweeny would fail at Miami if they weren't allowed to hire their guys, who cost a lot of money.

Mario's FIU period isn't relevant. Has he a few upset losses at Oregon? Yes, but upsets in conference play aren't as unusual as you'd think. Pete Carroll lost six PAC12 games to unranked opponents when USC was ranked in the Top 5. He lost at home ranked #1 as a 41-point favorite to...
