124 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 from CollegeFootballTalk.com: KIFFIN TO THE ‘CUSE? Posted by Mike Florio on September 17, 2008, 10:50 a.m. EDT As the Syracuse football program continues to disintegrate before our eyes, there’s a rumor of a fresh-faced NFL coach who might land in upstate New York before too long. Per the Buffalo News, Raiders coach Lane Kiffin has been linked to the likely opening in the land of orange. The current head coach at Syracuse is Greg Robinson, a former NFL assistant coach. With Kiffin due to participate in a conference call with Buffalo reporters as the Raiders plan to take on the Bills, there could be a question or two about the situation. Rampant media reports indicated that Kiffin would be fired by the Raiders as soon as Wednesday. On Tuesday, Adam Schefter of NFL Network reported that Kiffin is safe for now. Even if he doesn’t get fired in the short term, he widely is regarded as the coach least likely to return to his current team in 2009. In the offseason, Kiffin supposedly was in the mix for the vacancy at Arkansas. As we heard it over at PFT, he was pissed that he didn’t get the position. Kiffin denied that he was under consideration for the job. Just like Nick Saban did as to Alabama two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangreenman Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Plllllleeeeeeeeeeeeassse let this be true... Anybody but G-ROB, ANNNYYBODY!!!!!!!! Just read an article that because of G-Rob's situation, and because our team is completely in the ****ter, we only have 4 verbals for the '09 season so far. And none of them are ranked higher than 3 stars. Kiffen at the very least is younger than Robinson, and brings a name with him that HS kids will have heard of. Granted, he doesn't have too many recruiting ties in the NE, but at this point, he cant be any worse than G-Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I have a buddy with four season tix to SU football. He used to have plenty of people to go along and buy his extra tix, but he's been eating them, lately. I'll probably go to a game just to help him out. And to drink, of course.

Green DNA Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 LOL at Greg Robinson. This guy has been a disaster wherever he has gone, including when he was our esteemed Defensive Coordinator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
