Lane Kiffin is realistic (info).

[JHallCanes]

Look at the lane on lake video that was posted. He’s as good as gone if we offer him. Tbh, if/once Mario says no, the next guy needs to be lane.

I have my reservations about Kiffin (well literally any realistic candidate) but I can’t deny this would be a lot of fun….at least at first haha

Got to be a DC with some heat!

Or trying to get him that Mel Tucker money from Ole Miss.

There’s a law in MS that his contract can only be 4 years.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

you mean there could be a conflict of interest?

Conflict of interest? No, I mean that there are plenty of red flags that might not concern an SEC school, but which the UM BOT might take issue with.

Again, I'm not against Kiffin, but consider this. Well-known nutbag Dan Mullet has interviewed with UM twice. TWICE. And failed to get an offer both times. Kiffin was available all those other times (or would have made himself available), and has yet to even be interviewed.

You know who else couldn't get an interview at UM the last couple of times? Butch. And Butch actually proved he could do a great job at UM.

I'm really not sure that Kiffin even gets a full in-person interview at UM, though he definitely has some fans on the BOT. We'll see. I'm not opposed, but I would be very surprised if it gets serious with Kiffin, let alone "he's hired". A lot of things are changing right now, I'm just convinced the BOT gets over the hump with Lane's personality/behavior.

Make it happen.. and make his buy out 100 mil lol

Agreed. If not higher.

 

[IcemanArcade]

Mario is 1A and Lane is 1B, would not be mad at all if Lane Kiffen were to become our next HC. Especially if Mario turns down the job.

 

[CanesLifer2]

All of you that want lane…don’t you see? He’s a mercenary, if he does come here and has any sort of success, he WILL leave for a better job as soon as it opens. He’s proven that every place he’s gone.

Link?

the reality is that our short list is probably Mario/lane/Aranda/stoops (possibly in that order). I have reservations about all of them but they would be solid hires. Mario would be the only guy that I can see being a long term hire so that’s something to consider

well, him having people who like him who are bot members could maybe help. idk whether mullen had that or not.

Wdym? Mario ain’t coming?

No but he’s super flawed. He’ll win here but there would be a cap because he’s a horrible gameday coach. Kiffin will as well because he doesn’t prioritize defense.

Mark stoops
Dave Aranda
Dave Clawson
Bill Clark as the last resort

Guys who understand you need both. That’s what somebody who wants to win should have as a list. Not gimmicky coaches like Kiffin.

Thankfully I wasn't the only one confused by that post from Z.

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

Kiffin just added several million to his coffers, and he won’t even have to move.

Kiffin‘s agent is doing his job, getting him paid.

And?

Howard/JJ/Butch

 

[nycane]

This is whats going on. They been had backchannels with Mario for weeks as I and others previously said. Mario is all about coming home if they show commitment and Blake was gone. If he doesnt come, Lane is 110% looking to take the job. that wasnt a slip up on game day. There is no option #3 at this point.

We haven’t had any success in 20 years! Bring him in!

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Lane offense vs Mario recruiting

 

[Tad Footeball]

My biggest concern with Lane is that he's a climber. If Bama or the NFL come calling, I think he leaves Coral Gables.

You don't want to be the guy to replace Sabag even if he starts to slip at the end like Bowden and Paterno. You want to be the guy that replaces the guy that replaced Sabag. And by then Baga might* not be the job that it's viewed as today. Not saying it'll drop as precipitously but it's not that long ago that FSU was universally viewed as an elite college job and it's not too long ago that Baga wasn't.

 

[Ziggy]

We all love the Mario story and connection but he's my 1b to Lane who is my 1a. Lane would absolutely crush it here. High energy, in your face, demanding, exciting... Lane is what Miami used to be!

Not too many better jobs than Miami when we are dominating. Especially if the Coach is getting big time money.
