TLDR: Kiffin is an egomaniac charlatan with Twitter fingers according to a group of anonymous Mississippi high school football coaches

I’m neither pro or anti lane, just found this an interesting read given our HC circumstance

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Shocker, the hicks of Miss don't like Lane much lol

 

[TriStarCane]

I mean the dude won 10 games at Ole Miss (something no one has done) and has a top 3 offense. Not sure how he is a charlatan? Certainly seems like he’s got the answers needed to be successful

Wonder which coaches wife he slept with..

This is not something to just be blown off. South Florida coaches can be hard to deal with, and will hold a grudge forever.

He better fūcking take this into consideration if he’s going to be successful recruiting South Florida.

Let’s hope if he’s hired here he’s going to take seriously the “building relationships“ part.

He's definitely a square sausage in Mississippi's very round hole.

Very valid point. IMO, recruiting is the most important part of the job (ask Kirby).

Curious if any posters here with ties to SoFla high schools have a sense of how he's perceived from his days at FAU. @CoachMacho?

Good point. Any coach other than Mario is going to get the you’re not Mario and we just proclaimed our love for him treatment. Until Mario starts getting the “he big timed me” treatment himself when he doesn’t hire them or take their 1 stars.

He will be losing a lot of starters, including his star QB, and he is not recruiting well. That’s not a recipe for success in the future.

Luke loves him, fwiw..

Actually Manning’s QB son is considering them.

Bump

@gogeta4 @Coach Macho

Any thoughts on how Kiffin interacted with SoFL HS coaches while at FAU??

 

[407cane]

Yes lane is a great offensive mind and I'm sure he's responsible for a good portion of their #3 ranking

However, Jeff lebby is the one calling plays and he's a heupel descendant so it's not solely Lane's strategy and ability.

If he does come be better bring lebby

FIFY

 

[Angry Ibis]

Paging @gogeta4 for his take

 

[DepressedIbis]

He won 10 games twice and won 2 bowl games with FAU. I’m going to go out on a limb and say FAU had a majority of Florida recruits. He’ll be ight

Archie and Eli played there - it's a Manning legacy.

Ever stop and think why That is? It has nothing to do with Kiffin
