Scratch Lane Kiffin off your HC list

This will forevermore be the thing you can point to if people try to assert that everyone who runs a big time college football program is smart.

At the NFL level, I think it's a big part of the reason why McDaniels got cold feet and spurned the Colts. Yes, it looked really bad, but I think the guy realizes if he takes another HC job and it blows up in his face again that's probably his last HC shot in the NFL. He has to make sure his next opportunity is the perfect fit.

With that said, I think the guy's a POS and I hope we stay far away. If he is the guy, then I hope I'm very wrong.

Didn't he do really well at FAU?

Lots of guys do well at lower levels of competition only to fall apart when they try to make the step up to the "big leagues". His first stint at USC as OC and recruiting coordinator ended in disaster when Reggie Bush was ruled ineligible leading to the 2005 season being vacated. His stint with the Raiders - disaster. His stint with Tennessee - disaster. 2nd stint with USC as HC - disaster.

If I was an NFL or NCAA P5 team, I wouldn't touch Lane Kiffin.

He won at USC. If he can stay out of controversy he can do well. Ole Miss fans seem to love the hire. But they have had a rough go...

    • I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.
    • Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
