Lane Kiffin will most likely not be at FAU to kick our ass next season. Some larger program is sure to snatch him up. Probably before they even play their bowl game.

I don't think Kendal Briles gets enough credit for FAU's performance. 

Kiffin gets all the attention but the Briles offense is the key 

He was my #1 choice to replace McCarney. I like Littrell but man I wanted that offense and his recruiting ability.

I like Briles chemistry with his current players and I like what he does with this offense, but you want his recruiting ability? His, "You should want to come to Baylor. There are a lot of white girls here that love athletes." These are apparently his documented recruiting tactics. JS.

I mean. I guess. I don't know how he specifically recruited. I just know he was the conference recruiter of the year once.

Lane and briles will be back to rule 2018.  They expect him to leave when Littrell leaves after next year. 

Owls will perch for 24 months.

My previous post is how he recruited to Baylor, quoted. No reason whatsoever to think that has or will change.

And he knew everything that went down at Baylor like his old man. Scum.

I guess instead of wanting improvement for our own program we can just want our competition to get worse. But if you want that solution, there's a home in the Sun Belt and FCS. 

I don't think anyone is calling for that. All of us want our program to improve. This thread is just pointing out the obvious possibility that Kiffin will be gone from FAU sooner rather then later.

Keep dreaming boys...

Really hoping LK stays at FAU, and starts the trend of P5 coaches staying at G5.. A F_U vs UNT/UTSA rivialary between states can only improve the conference.

I think we are going to see some of these "young turk" G5 Coaches stick around for a few seasons because they have their eyes on some really big programs.

ESPN had a graphic that listed Kiffin, Morris, Littrell, and one more as coaches to watch.

Thank you.  Why do we hope our G5 teams get worse instead of out conferences getting stronger? 

What about FAU and NT moving to AAC when the Big 12 come calling on UCF and USF next year?  It’s not a crazy thought.  We are similar programs even though I know you guys have a lot more history.

What is also interesting.. most of the bigger jobs in the region have been settled last year or this year..

Would love to see the FL schools and UNT/UTSA (or rice) move up.. the logic we want someone to suck in G5 only hurts all of us.. 

Honestly if LK stays, I think it only increases SL staying.. the question is can both programs get the $ to make it manageable for them to success..

Idon't think anybody worth it for Kiffin is gonna pick him up this season. Thre are not actually that many jobs out there this season. Tennessee and A&M may have made it feel like its a crazy coaching carrousell season, but its actually a comparatively low opening season (ok, its not over yet, but still). I don't see anybody taking a chance on LK before he proves he doesn't get into trouble for another season. I think it is more about the "not getting into trouble" than about success on the field. Most folks thought he was decent at that before.

I think our contract negotiations for the extension just got a bit easier today.

 I think he would be a perfect fit at Texas Tech.    He probably has to win another year to get a shot at a P5, but if he repeats he is gone .

He could be gone after next year but he won’t go to TT, guaranteed.

Lane to ASU or UCF?

      Unfortunately I feel like many folks might rather watch the Notre Dame/Indiana playoff game on Friday.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      We've shown over the last handful of seasons that we have one of the most suffocating defenses in the country. I still think the defining game of this era was the NIT semi against Wisconsin when we held them scoreless the last nine minutes of regulation.

      Ok so what's your suggestion? Don't get a QB? I'm confused as to what the end goal of your argument is. Regardless of who we get, we're going to suck? Looks like you're complaining just to complain.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      I'm looking forward to the game. In-state bragging rights up for grabs and a good built-in storyline with the two head coaches going head-to-head. Should be a lot of hype leading up to the game. I know we have a couple games on future schedules, but it would be good to rekindle the series. Give me an annual matchup against Texas State over the likes of South Alabama or any FCS opponent. I'm not going to call this a litmus test for coach Morris, but it's pretty close to one. His tenure has not gotten off to the start we were sold on. In fact it's been pretty disappointing. In two seasons, Morris has a record of 11-13 (.458). Those 11 wins have come against teams with a collective record of 45-87 (.341). His signature win is against South Alabama who finished 6-6 in the regular season this year, but did win their bowl game to finish 7-6 to become only the second team with a "winning" record he's beaten (FCS SFA at 7-5 is the other). Ouch. 2 of the 11 or 18.2% of coach Morris's wins have come against FCS opponents. 4 of the 11 or 36.4% of coach Morris's wins have come against teams named Tulsa and Temple. This is going to be an important game for coach Morris. I hate to utter these words, but is this an "opportunity" game? If we win, he will get a little bit of a lift and goodwill for the program and his tenure so far. If we lose or do so in embarrassing fashion, I think his time here is running out. Of course, I don't know how we treat bowl games anymore. They run the spectrum of meaningless exhibition games to the game that defines a coach's legacy. Should be fun.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      Sure. But this wasn't the first game I have thought this about. My knowledge of hoops is limited and I try to stay out of posting on the BB board for that reasons. Maybe it happens multiple times every game played by every team, but it seems like NT's defense forces this turnover type regularly against good and bad teams. Probably just selective memory. GMG
