You would have to convince him your O-line will improve and that you are keeping your weapons. And if you do lose a weapon, you will have to replace it. The hard part is the timing. You can say, “We might lose a David Nuño, but we might go get an Olin Buchanan,” but you don’t have him. Then, you go into grey areas of tampering, as Kiffin does, but no one will call him out because the media is so obsessed with kissing his ass.
yeah the media has never shit all over Kiffin in his career. not when he was a super young OC at USC. not when he was a super young coach for the raiders. not when he was fired from the raiders. not when he was hired at Tennessee. not when he left Tennessee after 1 year. not when he was tarmac'd at USC. not when he quit on Alabama before the national championship year. not when he went 5-7 at FAU. not when he went 5-5 at Ole Miss in 2020.
if there is one thing i know its that the media looooooooooooooooooooves Lane Kiffin.
tell me you don't understand any of the last 2 decades of CFB in one sentence.
