Lane Kiffin would've been fired years ago if fooling around with students is a big deal.
Lane Kiffin is the highest paid employee in the entire state of Louisiana and is an employee of a University. Is it honestly too much to ask that people with that level of power not sleep with undergraduates?

I get that OU doesn't have a policy against it. That may make Smith a good amount of money in the end. But it shows incredibly, incredibly poor judgment from somebody who is hired specifically to be a leader.

Coach Hauser has been in Athens for four seasons. Name another conference school that has had more success than the Bobcats the last four seasons. Coach Hauser has been a great DC and will keep consistency in this football program that has just two losing seasons in last 20 years. Coach Isphording has done a good job developing the QBs. The Bobcat QBs the last few years have been instrumental in the unprecedented success this program has achieved. The Bobcats have been successful because Frank and Albin hired good staff members. Coach Smith was able to keep some of the staff from the change last season. The players want Hauser. The coaches want Hauser. Give Hauser the job or risk losing many players and recruits. That is not being a drama queen, that is a fact!
Retweet!

Maybe they add to any future coaching hires the following: If single or divorced you may not date or have a relationship with anyone "x" years younger or that is grounds for dismissal.

If the student was in 20's then I agree it shows poor judgement to not have ended it very fast. But it does not appear to violate anything in his contract. And although he should have given more thought to her age once anyone in administration became aware of it could have made a suggestion to him, he may be endangering his job.

I initially kind of dismissed this possibility, but I'm know hearing that he might be attractive to OHIO because he's noted as being a strict disciplinarian and has run squeaky clean programs. Still, I personally think that we should go with Hauser, unless there are skeletons in his closet none of us know about.

John Hauser is my #1 choice, but if for whatever reason they go a different way, the only other option I could live with as a compromise would be Mark Stoops. I'd rather have Stoops, a guy who has been a Head Coach, instead of Kevin Johns, a guy who's never been a HC before.

1) John Hauser (easiest thing to do; just hire him)
2) Mark Stoops (only real compromise we could live with)
3) Dan Jackson (even this because of the South Dakota State tie-in)





Way Down The List) Kevin Johns (I hope it doesn't get down to this.)
