As far as Kiffie for OC, LSU might double his salary and help offset the alimony/child support he's paying Layla...they'd still be a mill or more under what Satan makes.
Last time we went for it was Majors and that turned out alright. The key is to not let the roster get depleted and the fanbase demoralized before making a change. We waited way too long with Fulmer and probably a season too long with Dooley. Letting these coaches completely decimate a program before you call the bullpen is insane. LSU did the right thing timing wise.
