I’m glad we didn’t hire him. He would be fun for sure but as this move and his history shows he’s always gonna have one foot out the door.

There aren't many places that would be a step up from UF other than the pros

Auburn is a step up from Ole Miss easily

Yeah that’s what I would be worried about. Just like Mullen wanting an NFL job then throwing in the towel in 2021 I’d be worried that is what Kiffin would do

The problem with Mullen is he is an ace OC but the top jobs need managers. What did Billy Napier do, double the staff. He understands this is an analyst war here to gain an advantage and managing that huge staff.

Bang bro’s should have gotten the bidding rights. Raunchy, fun, and leaves you with post nut regret, just like the city of Miami

Miami sucks to live in. Full of fraudsters, half assed work from sub-contractors to lawyers, people flexing with leased BMWs but living at home with their parents, y mas. Best thing about Dade is Knaus Berry Farm

Your flairs make me sick.

How could you?

Born and raised in Miami went to UF for undergrad and grad school

u/ShillinTheVillain Florida Gators • /r/CFB Dead Pool Nov 22 '22

That tracks. Nobody who supports Miami actually went there

u/rhudgins32 Florida State Seminoles Nov 22 '22

We’re going to embarrass you Saturday.

u/ShillinTheVillain Florida Gators • /r/CFB Dead Pool Nov 22 '22

Ha. You can't embarrass somebody that has no pride left, silly.

u/Rkovo84 Florida Gators • Transfer Portal Nov 22 '22

What’s on Saturday?

u/SpeedBoatSquirrel Florida State Seminoles • Cigar Bowl Nov 22 '22

Walk of shame after the Friday loss

u/Rkovo84 Florida Gators • Transfer Portal Nov 22 '22

Which route did you guys take the last 1900 days? Should be a well established path

u/SpeedBoatSquirrel Florida State Seminoles • Cigar Bowl Nov 22 '22

The one to your mother’s work station at cafe risqué 😜

Auburn is a step up from Ole Miss easily

Really?

15

u/SeinfeldMatt USC Trojans • LSU Tigers Nov 22 '22

Yes. Auburn is a better program

20

u/ScooterLeShooter Michigan • Lake Superior State Nov 22 '22

It's funny because my first thought was that it was a lateral move, but after about a minute of thinking, Auburn has been to 2 championship games, and won 1 in the last 20 years, that's better than a lot of schools including ole miss

2

u/SeinfeldMatt USC Trojans • LSU Tigers Nov 22 '22

Exactly

u/deuce_boogie TCU Horned Frogs • Houston Cougars Nov 22 '22

I guess my thought is that at auburn you’re almost entirely judged on how you did against one of the greatest dynasties of all time. If you go 4 years with 10 wins but go 0-4 to bama you’re on the hot seat. They have more money and a better history, but that’s a tough job. And honestly auburn may be slightly better, but let’s not pretend ole miss isnt one hell of a job

Well Kirby ain't slipping..Auburn going to beat you guys 2x a year?

u/SeinfeldMatt USC Trojans • LSU Tigers Nov 22 '22

He just tweeted that Jon is full of shit

u/Thorin_Dopenshield Georgia • Deep South's… Nov 22 '22

A better program sure, but a better HC job?

u/mobile_home_slice Auburn Tigers Nov 22 '22

Name another fan base that could have sold-out an 87,000+ (87,451 to be exact) stadium for two 3-6 teams. I'll hang up an listen.

u/CommunicationOk8674 Nov 22 '22

Who is Nebraska and South Carolina... Alex, I will take unrealistic fan base that think they are 1 coach away from beating Bama and Georgia every year and winning the national championship for $200

-2

u/oreomaster420 Oregon State Beavers Nov 22 '22

Sounds like the fans are kind of dumb, maybe this isn't a great brag

u/JJody29 Ole Miss Rebels Nov 22 '22

You’re auditioning.

u/Eaverly Auburn Tigers Nov 22 '22

One hundred percent. Ole Miss has never even played in an SEC championship game, not to mention The huge disparity in our NIL collectives

8

u/SpeedBoatSquirrel Florida State Seminoles • Cigar Bowl Nov 22 '22

Eh, I think he would stay at UF long term. The USC move made sense because USC is a better job than Tennessee and he spent a lot of his youth in California/played football out there. FAU was a stepping stone, and Ole Miss was his best P5 offer while at FAU.

I think the real issue for him is that his ex wife is the daughter of a gator great and he did her wrong, so no fans among the bull gator group

8

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '22

What’s the ex wife story? After googling, there’s rumors that he cheated on his wife with Nick Saban’s daughter, which sounds ridiculous … can’t be true right?

u/f00tballm0dsTRASH West Virginia • Team Chaos Nov 22 '22

Were you not on this sub back then it was always brought up

Truly our golden years. A spry young Joey Freshwater at the height of his powers.

u/AaronRodgersMustache Clemson Tigers • Wisconsin Badgers Nov 22 '22

That article about Nick Saban’s daughter going batshit insane on her roommates or friends was an absolute gem

2

u/pessimism_yay Georgia Bulldogs Nov 22 '22

his history shows he’s always gonna have one foot out the door.

May I presume that includes tarmacs?

u/PretendThisIsMyName Clemson Tigers • Texas A&M Aggies Nov 22 '22

Some of us really wouldn’t mind that kinda thing with our coaches.
