If anyone believes a guy named Ross, there is this.

Lane just needs to make it to the roof of William Faulkner's house where he can barely make it onto the last copter out of Oxford.

[Barton Fink]

Didn't think of that. OM might riot more than UT did. How good are they at throwing mustard bottles?

[BleedinRed]

I can't imagine giving up on a team you assembled that will make the playoffs to go start the recruiting season for a team that is playing in a weed eater bowl. 

I guess money trumps a potential national championship.

I think he's legit struggling with this decision and a lot probably has to do with wanting to see this team through. He probably wants to do both. A lot of the drama here was moreso media driven/created vs Lane creating it. I'll fall short of saying g I feel bad for him, other than losing his Dad last year.

I think Lane is waiting to see if Bama wins or not. If they lose, he stays and plays for the SECC. If they win, he leaves.

[Barton Fink]

Agree. It's more the media pressure

[BleedinRed]

Why?  He is in the playoffs either way.  What does the SEC championship game do for him or Ole Miss?

Been saying the same. I wouldn't want to play in the SEC championship gsme.

It doesn't make sense to me.  He is the head coach of a team that is going to the playoffs.  They have a legit shot at playing for a national Championship.

On the field LSU doesn't offer any more than that.  Maybe 5 years ago but not today.  

It has to be purely about the money.  

[Barton Fink]

Yet he's said it's not about money for him but rather about NIL commitment.

LSU doesn't have to compete with SEC in-state rivals or other teams poaching players from the state. Still have to pay the players, but a better recruiting ground than Mississippi.

[Barton Fink]

Let the circus begin...

[BleedinRed]

Yet he's said it's not about money for him but rather about NIL commitment.

Which is crazy considering Ole Miss has put together enough NIL to literally make The playoffs this year.  What more do they need to do?

Again, on the field LSU doesn't offer anything more than where Ole Miss finds themselves today.  

Bizarre world of you ask me.  

[BleedinRed]

Ole Miss is in the playoffs.  LSU isn't.  Seems Lane and the program are doing just fine.

I don't disagree. Doesn't make sense to me either. Yeah, it's a lot of money, but Lane has plenty of money and he's getting paid very well at ole miss and getting good talent. He can do just as well at ole miss as he could at lsu. I just don't buy him having a better chance to win one at lsu than he does at ole miss. He'll, he's the one that built it there. Id want to exhaust those efforts but we've seen him jump around. May be something that's in his DNA and why there's so much media speculation anyway.

Ole Miss is in becuase Lane is their coach. LSU isn't because Lane isn't their coach.

That's the logic, I guess.

[BleedinRed]

That's the logic, I guess.

i get it from a LSU perspective.  Not so much from a Lane perspective.  

Oh well, could be worse.  LSU could be faced with hiring Constable Bob as their only option.

 After the 2021 season, the Florida and LSU jobs opened. Kiffin wasn't considered a serious candidate for either vacancy — mostly due to that aforementioned grating personality and checkered past, the very same traits that Ole Miss was willing to deal with — but that doesn't mean Kiffin wasn't interested. He would've crawled across glass for either job, mostly because Kiffin has always viewed himself as better than Ole Miss, despite the Rebels giving him the opportunity and resources to revive his image and career — and yes, I know Arkansas was a suitor for Kiffin in 2021, but look at their administration (Hunter Yurachek, yikes), how it has handled NIL and its schedules over the last six years and tell me with a straight face that Twitter-Man Kiffin would've had the same level of prosperity.

[Barton Fink]

As someone on X said, this is gonna make one helluva 30 for 30.

Kiffin to hold a team meeting tomorrow morning at 9per ESPN.
