I enjoyed a stroll thru Swampgas this morning. They are D O N E with Billy and rumors say some BMDs already ponied up the $26M buyout. And they apparently want to make a run at Joey Freshwater.

There's a bunch of FF turds that think Kiff would jump ship in a heartbeat to UF.

Not even stopping to think the big money at Ole Miss would counter any offer he gets.

He’s the obvious target for them to pursue I think but Lane has it pretty good at Ole Miss and they would pay to keep him for sure. And there are other plenty of beautiful coeds to keep him busy at ole miss too

I think a bunch of people are of the same mind as Bammers with Dabo some years ago. They're gonna take a coach that's already building a program that's winning to start over a rebuilding process at a school that's at least two to five years away from being competitive? Not that Bama would have needed to be rebuilt, but UF and FSU will.

Kiff is doing great on the NIL, transfer portal and recruiting efforts at Ole Miss. And with the lack of Saban, there's a power void in the old SEC West. In honesty, there's really only three coaches that are moving to fill the void in the SEC left by his retirement, Heupel, Sark and Kiffin. Smart is already established and is the "heir apparent" to Saban. But with the 12 team playoff and any given Saturday, other coaches have the chance to move into the driver's seat.

And no, I don't think DeBoer is "that guy" in regards to being the next Saban. Right now, he's playing with Saban's talent. Let's see where he's at next year or year after.

Regardless, I don't see Kiffin leaving Ole Miss just because Florida or FSU comes open. First, there's a LOT of money at Ole Miss that can (and will) pay to keep him as HC. Second, he has a distinct lack of competition except the coaches I named already. Third, he's already starting building the program he wants and is winning. There is nothing Florida or FSU is going to offer that would change the above facts.

Whom ever took the Bama job was going to face ridiculous expectations. And yeah this far DeBoar doesn’t seem to carry that bling. He seems competent but he was handed a program loaded with talent and money behind it for now he just needs to keep it out of the ditch

And yeah UF is a full blown dumpster fire requiring complete rebuild. They are willing to fund it though I’d guess if they can find the right guy. But Kiffin would be an absolute moron to leave Ole Miss whom he has built into a powerhouse program and has excellent financial backing to keep the party going. Ole Miss will be in the playoff this year and with the right matchups could make a deep run.

Apparently Kiffin has matured a lot in the last few years, and he's certainly smart enough by now to know about jumping ship and burning bridges. I'll never understand why he was stupid enough to give up Layla though.

Do I think Kiffin would be a moron to leave Ole Miss for Florida? Yes, for many reasons. However, is Ole Miss a powerhouse program? Hell no. They’re heavily hyped, but they’ve never won the critical game.

She was hot, no doubt. She appeared to be really high maintenance though IMO...always had that look on her face like she smelled piss. I dated several like that in my youth. Super pretty outside, but extremely selfish and often mean as well. A girl can only hear how pretty she is so many times before shes a complete beeyatch IMO. Unless shes also a really good Christian chick and carries the humility that comes along with the Faith. Those seem to be exceedingly rare...and getting harder to find by the year.

Shhh. Some of us were around and remember "Archie who?" ... and "you know damn well who." For a while in the 60s we rebuilt and did well in the SEC, but Ole Miss was our nemesis.

They haven’t yet for sure. But I’d submit they’ve got all the building blocks in place to build a modern power house I think. Florida was largely an also ran until they got Spurrier in place and funded the program to give him the tools needed to build a champion

Kiffin has been a head coach for a number of years now. The next potential “program-defining game” that he wins rather than loses will be the first one of his career as a head coach. I just think Kiffin is a B or B+ head coach. He isn’t an A or A+. A big part of that is that his teams never have really good defenses.

Gotta disagree there. With the exception of getting fired at USC by being left on the tarmac he has won everywhere he’s gone. (ETA oh and the Raiders. He absolutely sucked there) And he was a moron to take the USC job with what they were facing from the NCAA but it was his dream job. Now that he’s got that stupidity out of his system he approaches the job I think in a much more pragmatic way. He clearly has matured with age and experience and still be able to keep his swagger and brashness. And his players love it and respond to it. Don’t get me wrong I’m not a Kiffin fan boy but I can see how he’s matured over time. I’d be shocked if he didn’t coach a team to a natty before his coaching career is over.

Went with the wife to the grocery store, dropped her off and I went to park. When I went in I saw her walking down an isle and thought I’d cut her off. She walked right past me without seeing me sooo I thought I’d be playful and gave her a little pinch on the bottom and said boo. She screamed and kicked me in the junk.

So she did recognize you.
