All right.

If we got Kiffin because we feel like he’s the best option for the program in the short-term and long-term, because we feel like he has the best tools for the job, because he’ll bring in the best and smartest minds he can, because he’ll put the best product on the field, because he’ll bring the most support from the fans, then I’m okay with it.

If we got Kiffin because we didn’t have to buy him out, hell hath no fury.

I actually like Kiffin.

Davis, for all his faults, does have a very good coaching tree.

Gruden and Fox, the coaches of the Tampa Bay Bucs and Carolina Panthers, comes to my mind. He’s young, energetic .. .. obviously he doesn’t have great results right now but when the Owner of an NFL team clashes with their Coach it’s never a good thing.

We’ll see what happens, but we need to remember that new coaches usually don’t have great success out of the gates. Meyer and Saban both are but a big part of that is because they inherited a ton of talent.

Have some faith the Visor Boy Wondaw!

The kid can coach. The kid can recruit. He has friends in high places. Players love him. YAW! YAW!

Knee-jerk thought:

Since we’re in the “tentative agreement” phase, there are probably some final conditions to be sorted. My guess is that this will all hinge on the staff Kiffin can assemble. If his dad, the O, and a few other notables come along, then the deal’s as good as done. If they don’t come along and Kiffin is on his own, I could see it falling apart.

(Just an observation.)

Nah

That stuff is hammered out on the front end. The “tentative” part is so not to take away from Fulmer’s final game tomorrow. It’s done.
