Coaching Hot Seat and Searches

Something is off with Florida.  I don't think Lane would take that one either.  Same with Auburn...they aren't the prize they think they are.  Oddly I could see Lane in Baton Rouge if Kelly were to jump to someplace like Penn State.  He is never going to get the same caliber of talent consistently at OM that he would at LSU or Alabama.  They might be able to buy him a roster one year but they'll have to go into hock to do it, and he will have to pay the piper at that time. 

Kiffin can get talent at LSU that he can't get at Ole Miss. His daughter seems to think so as well.

She thought so to the extent that Weeks missed their game Saturday.

Growing up in Eastern Arkansas I have several friends that are Ole Miss fans. They claim that Kiffin has bought into the "culture" there and he's very comfortable with the OM administration and the fan base. They think (and they are probably right) that he is their best shot at the playoffs and a natty and that the boosters feel the same.

I don't think he's going anywhere. I think he's learned his lesson after the Tennessee and USC debacles.

He's getting $9/yr and a potential $2.5 for incentives. If he wins 9-10 every year at Ole Miss they'll build him a statue. Miss the playoffs 2 years in a row at Florida/LSU/Auburn, and they're ready to negotiate your buyout.
He'd be crazy to leave. My guess is he stays put, but gets a raise that puts him in the top 10 at least in cfb salaries, because right now he isn't.

I could buy in with either of these theories.

Florida offering Lane $13.5 per year

Edit: that's millions dollars

You live in your little bubble away from hogville.  Florida is going to hire Kiffin, top secret insiders say Ole Miss is planning to offer Petrino a huge package since we're busy fucking around trying to hire Lashlee, and then once the fanbase starts to revolt over Petrino leaving for an SEC rival-ish program Hunter is going to open the checkbook and get Gruden to make everyone happy again.  The offer has already been presented to his camp just in case but keep this here though, because the agents are still talking.

That's some high tit betting information right there.

Guess I better make a Tinder profile that says "Made a bet on Woopig, need a pic of a lovely pair of tits just in case I'm wrong."

Just post it on Twitter. I am sure you will get a response and a few followings.

That's the chance we all take when we light the beacons to call for help.

Are you saying the situation is fluid?

I don't think that means much without hearing what the proposed buy-out will be. Ole Miss will get within $2-3 of that salary, but give him way more leash than Florida ever would. And with the extended playoffs, OM is just as likely to make it as Florida.

It's the buyout that Ole Miss can't get close to Florida on. That's multi-generational money that can change minds.
