Why would God tell Kiffen to go to LSU if he knew the Bama job was coming open this year?
Texas Tech had a running back in the '90s named Byron Hanspard (sp.?) He was the #1 RB recruit in the nation - could have gone to any school he wanted to. He committed to Notre Dame, but a few days before signing day, he said God spoke to him while he was in the shower and told him to go to Texas Tech. Keep in mind, at the time, Tech was nothing. Terrible facilities, a perennial 7-4 team (only played 11 games back then), and a trip to the Copper Bowl in Arizona was a huge deal. So instead of competing for national titles, playing in Fiesta, Orange, and Cotton Bowl caliber games (back when people cared about bowls), he opted to go to Lubbock. And if you think Lubbock is awful now...and it is...you should have seen it 30+ years ago. Yeesh...it was the armpit of not just the State of Texas...it was the armpit of the earth.
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
