Tuesday morning, West Virginia head football coach Neal Brown made the decision to part ways with defensive coordinator Jordan Lesley, according to Pete Thamel
Silly, but personally important question: How do you feel about Kiffin? Even with recent success I think Ole Miss is a lowerer teir SEC school. And as we’re starting to see, portal heavy teams are hit or miss. Plus Kiffin has been known to drop to less prestigious positions before (that was a sick burn for any trojans hiding among us). I’m just saying that he might be worth it for y’all if Ole Miss gets fed up with missing out on Saban’s power vaccuum.
Nothing one way or another. He’d definitely help with our reputation a bit, recruits well, and has shown he’s good offensively. He’d get a good portion of control if he has us contending for conference championships somewhat steadily, which given the current B12, we absolutely should be, if not every few years at least. Problem is, idk if we can afford him. He’s 2.5x as expensive as Neal, at a university so cash strapped they’ve cut education departments and are still heavily struggling. I’d be surprised if they allow a leash that long. His staff will be more expensive, he’ll likely have minimum facilities expectations. And with on field success the money would likely be there, but our problems outweigh football revenue currently.
I’d personally be tentatively excited for him, as he’s just Dana 2.0 with some actual HC success, but I’m not super privy of all the options.
