Happens when you roll,the dice as many times as he does in a game…That’s my only beef against the guy but he knows offensive football running and passing..
Lane Kiffin = Bo Pelini?
- Thread starter thall_
- Start date
He underachieved at USC
went the rehab route to try to better himself
OC at Alabama then took a lower coaching job at FAU to and now is 23-9 at Ole Miss after going 5-5 his first year (an improvement over the record he inherited)
coaches can evolve and improve
His offense can be pass or run heavy based on personnel. They lead the nation in rushing among power 5 schools this year
Pelini on the other hand went to Youngstown and LSU and flopped

unfortunately, Kiffin's best win (#4 Oregon) was 11 years ago. his winning % hasn't deviated much anywhere
Well we can do better than another "Bo Pelini" - his wins were OK but so much verbal baggage. That said I'm at the point where I'd settle for anyone that wins after the horrible last few years. Believe we can do better though with a decent coach who can win.
that was the least of my concerns with Pelini, and being pissy that a coach was profane is a naive mentality that proves you've never been in a locker room
Who knows if kiffin would win here, but I see all those games against SEC teams you have listed and realize that most years the only team better than any of them in the BIG is OSU - and there are none in the west
last years and likely this years Ole Miss team would be 11-1 or 10-2 this year playing for a conf title in the BIG

has he ever beaten a team as good as this years illinois?
he's 0-3 against Harbaugh, and Kiffin had the talent advantage.
Lavonte David. There’s a D lineman Maliek Collins with the Texans. Did he recruit the Davis twins. I think one of them is on the Steeler practice roster. Luke Gifford?
Why Would you rather have Mickey? Just because he Is a Nebraska guy? Gotta be a reason more than that you just don’t like Kiff? Because Mickey has pulled a couple of recruits, which all P5 schools do…..and Nebraska should do more of? Just trying to understand this thought process. Being okay with Mickey as a head coach is an absolute disaster waiting to happen. 5 more years of purgatory.
Because Mickey can recruit. I also like his no nonsense approach. I believe hes a good man. He also wants to get back to the run game. I also do not inderstand the obsession with lane. This is by far his best year, he imploded at two other stops. He hasnt earned it either, no different than mickey.
Im not “on the mickey train” as I posted in another thread. But I would rather hire him than lane.
When you take it to the level Bo did it becomes a problem. When your head coach’s over the top profane rants cost you 15 yards and thwarts a game ending go ahead drive, it’s a problem that had to be addressed. Medication helped for a few weeks ..,,,,,
Bo sucked at recruiting because he didn't like recruiting. How he did not cash in (recruiting-wise) off of Callahan's recruits I will never understand. I figured he'd have 5-star recruits lining up after Suh, Nakamura and that 2009 season. Nope.
He did in hindsight land a few future NFL DTs. The Davis twins and Maliek Collins. The other fat boy who the Patriots drafted got a cup of coffee.
Lane would do very well here. Hiring Mickey and expect pickem games against Rutgers and Purdue. Lane would have Nebraska back to pelini levels at minimum with a higher ceiling than pelini
Valentine? Man, I forgot about him.
I think Collins still plays, but I am not sure.
Yes - every win you listed is better than Illinois along with multiple wins against unranked teams
you need to watch a little (a lot) more college football and expand your horizons beyond the big ten west
Illinois - 😂
projection, you haven’t watched enough football to know that Kentucky is now at the bottom of the SEC 😂
Please refresh my memory where I mentioned or inferred anything regarding the 2022 Kentucky Wildcats?
thank you for the correction -
Kentucky would kick the shit out of Illinois and would walk away with the big ten west this year
you are forgetting that when 2 shitty big ten teams play - someone is going to get a w and end up with an inflated record

Lmao no
Kentucky struggled to beat Northern Illinois. Illinois is no worldbeater but they’d dog walk Kentucky this year
Kentucky is 6-3 with 2 wins over ranked teams
Illinois has lost to 3-5 Indiana and a 3-5 Michigan state
none of the teams Kentucky lost to have losing records
Hmmmm guess my 67-27 record with 9/10 win seasons was not good enough.
No, no it wasn’t. 0 conference championships, 0 major bowl games, 0 appearances in the playoffs, 0 seasons where you were in the discussion for the championship. 4 of 7 seasons you finished in the rankings. Those were seasons 2-5, those rankings were 14, 20, 24, and 25. See the trend there, by season 6 the pollsters had seen enough, they knew your 9 win seasons were garbage. Any team with a pulse could have won those 9, then get boat raced in the game against real teams. Finished out of the rankings in the last 2 seasons.
well this didn't age well. Vanderbilt?
anyways, little bit of Kiffin's shine starting to wear off now that the L's are coming in with their ranked opponents. Today was certainly not an awful loss like the blowout to LSU, but this was one of the more beatable Alabama teams in recent memory. it's really starting to feel like one of those Bo Pelini teams where we would start out hot, then cringe at the scheduled Wisconsin/Ohio State beatdowns coming at the end of the year.
Klieman would probably dogwalk Kiffin's team. hope to see them in a bowl against each other this year to compare.
A lot of Husker fans could not handle Lane.
He calls out the fans
He flirts with other jobs
Those wouldn’t be the worse problem is how many times he goes for it on 4th down..
That being Said I would be very happy if it’s him leading us out of this 8 year dumpster fire..
