I'm calling it now- Lame Kitten to Florida. Here's why

[Coach34]

I'll start by saying there is no doubt that Lame likes his current job. He does. He is happy coaching at Mississippi and his daughter likes school there. Buttttttt:

Lame loves Florida. He does. That's 100% fact
Florida is going nuts being mediocre. They will pay whatever
Lame and his hot-ass ex-wife Layla- are now on let's say- better terms and may even have reunited.
For those that dont know- Layla Kiffen is the daughter of famous Florida QB John Reaves. She is in his ear about leading Daddy's team back to glory

Lame gonna come full circle and bring Layla and his clan back to Florida and coach the Gators. They will give him a great contract and the money to build a roster. He will also poach the roster he built there to come to Fla

This is his last ride in Grenada Without The Lake

[cheewgumm]

I hope you are right but will disagree.

Is his son a 10th grader starting at QB for Oxford?

If so, I bet he does not leave. And I would t blame him.

I have no idea what lane will do. I do know they play HS football in Florida, and they play it at a higher level than here.

He's the back up to a junior. He did okay last week due to injury.

[Dawgface]

I can see it. Although he may be satisfied living in Oxford….the state of FL is a more natural fit for him.

[EdwardDrayton]

Yada yada blah blah. Show me the $10K on the prop bet and I'm listening. ***** :)

This is really the first test of his loyalty to Klansman College. Previous posts saying he was jumping were just trolling by fans

[coachnorm]

NIL exists within high school football just like college football. I have seen it first hand.

[CadaverDawg]

It's never the first guy. Ever. So I'm not feeling like it will be Lane. If not Florida, I'd love to see LSU hurry up and fire Kelly so they can get in the Lane sweepstakes.

But I'll believe Lane leaves Ole Miss when Bert Stare says it.*

Kiffin's son does not want to play on any Kiffin coached team

[cheewgumm]

Kiffin's son does not want to play on any Kiffin coached team

Yep. No, I?m basically saying that his son kind of has a spot at Oxford and his Dad will not want him to have to start over elsewhere.

I may be wrong. I know how k would feel.

[TrapGame]

34 may be on to something here.

This is going to be a crazy post season.

Elko is now linked to the Penn State job.

Kentucky insiders say Mullen has serious interest in them if Stoops is fired.

Florida State has the buyout money for Norvell ready and the big boosters are ready to move on.

Lane had a chance to quell the Florida rumors but he said next question instead.

[Todd4State]

I hope you are right but will disagree.

If Kiffin moves to Florida his kid can go to IMG and Kiffin can go watch him play a few hours away pretty easily. Oxford is no IMG- no offense to them.

[Todd4State]

If not Florida, and somehow LSU opens up....yes.

It is distinctly possible that LSU opens up this season. A loss to A&M this weekend and they're staring 7-5 in the face.

I don't know how old his daughter is but she is dating that LB from LSU and she has to be at least a junior at Ole Miss and is probably a senior so she isn't as tied down there as she was when Auburn almost hired Kiffin.

Yep. Our target from the beginning

[Leroy Jenkins]

If he ever wants to win a natty, UF is clearly the better option.

[MoreCowbell]

Giants fire Daboll at end of year and hire Lane to reunite with Dart. Lane is not going to Florida.

[Santiago]

Florida fits Kiffin.
Man if he leaves ole miss, he definitely guts that team or at least several will disperse to the NIL market.

Kiffin is the only sure thing who's linked to that job. Everyone else is an unknown and they can't afford anymore unknowns.

[1eyedog]

Coach, if okie can somehow beat the velvet ditch kids, would that be enough to keep them out of the playoffs? I looked at last years stats for the EB, I didn’t realize the worst DOG team in memory had three turnovers and a horrible 3rd down percentage but Actually kept Dart offense under 400 yds. I’m just thinking maybe it will be the Dogs time IF.....Lebby can hold the team together and don’t have any serious injuries.....Any ideas ...I know it’s early.

[Coach34]

To insure Mississippi wont make the playoff- they have to have 3 losses. So they need to lose Sat and in the Egg

[msstate7]

Yeah, we better hope it doesn't come down to us as the stop sign. Better chance to keep them out is Oklahoma take their spot and win out

[Coach34]

The Egg Bowl should be a 1990's style war this year

I just don't see how we can keep up scoring. Maybe it's cold and wet to slow them down

If OM loses this week, their SOS could really hurt them getting in the playoffs

We play defense now. We have a solid chance at home

[msstate7]

We play defense now. We have a solid chance at home

We're giving up 31.7 per game in conf (13th). They're avg 32.5 per game in conf (4th).

Ark and OM are horrible matchups for us. Texas is a decent matchup, so if we want an sec win, we better cash in Saturday

[Coach34]

We have played the #1 and #6 teams in the SEC on offense so far plus Ariona St. We are not bad on D. Pretty solid

[msstate7]

We have played the #1 and #6 teams in the SEC on offense so far plus Ariona St. We are not bad on D. Pretty solid

I used conf only stats. We're 13th in scoring and 15th in total D. We haven't been solid. Ark and OM are 2nd and 4th in scoring, so expect similar results

[Coach34]

I guess it would depend on how much they take SOS into account. And also how you "looked" in those games. Like if Alabama and Texas A&M have better records in conference play I don't see how you wouldn't put them in over Ole Miss in the pecking order.

[DownwardDawg]

We play defense now. We have a solid chance at home

I think we're beating them. Our records should be the same right now and our schedule has been brutal.

[BeardoMSU]

If OM loses this week, their SOS could really hurt them getting in the playoffs

This. There might be a log-jam of 10-2 SEC fans, and if there is, OMs schedule won't look great.

does this take into account the two defensive scores tennessee had? or the fact that they got over 40 pts due to OT?

i'm legitimately asking because if it does not then those numbers aren't accurate based solely on points allowed. i've been frustrated with our defense at time but overall they have played well enough for us to have two more wins.

It does include those, which sucks for the defense, but they count against all sec teams' defensive scoring stats too.

[basedog]

Our defense has been playing hard, and they are really good in the red zone. They have gotten better at not giving in. Secondary has played best as a group I think, just need to contain Manning from getting outside and we need some turnovers on defense.

Our defense isn't. Take out the 2 defensive score and then do the math.

[Coach34]

Our defense isn't. Take out the 2 defensive score and then do the math.

In all games, we are 11th in the SEC at 20.3 per- just .4 from being 7th due to 3 teams tied at 20

[msstate7]

Our defense isn't. Take out the 2 defensive score and then do the math.

Certainly not perfect, but here's the breakdown of defensive scores in conf play and possessions in OT...

10 def scores in sec play
12 team possessions in conf OT

So while it isn't perfect, conf only stats has this built in for all teams

[msstate7]

Probably a better judge of the defense is yds/play and/or total yds. In conf play, we've done the following...

6.44 yds/play (15th)
465.7 yds allowed/game (15th)

Only ark is worse at both.

Our saving grace is ints. We are 2nd in conf in int/game. If this keeps up, we give ourselves a chance to win despite being run through for the most part, but if they stop, close games become blow outs

[confucius say]

I used conf only stats. We're 13th in scoring and 15th in total D. We haven't been solid. Ark and OM are 2nd and 4th in scoring, so expect similar results

Where are you getting those stats? Mississippi is giving 30 ppg in conference games.
State is giving up 31.6. And that's with 7 coming in OT vs TN. Take those away and we are giving up 29.3.

I'll also add that our offense, not our defense, allowed at least 14 of those points vs TN.

[msstate7]

But where are you seeing that Mississippi is 4th in scoring D and we are 13th? They are giving up 30 ppg in sec play to our 31.6. No way there is that big a gap over 1.6 ppg.

Ok. But You said "we are 13th in scoring and 15th in total D." You meant scoring D when you said "scoring."

Then you said "Ark and OM are 2nd and 4th in scoring." Didn't know you switched to meaning scoring O instead of scoring D. Makes sense now when I read it that way.

my neighbor sent me an article from a gators site saying they will or have offered 13.5 for 6 yrs. It also said that olemiss can't go higher than 11.2 for 4 years; they would love to be able to but can't b/c of nil and all of the other expenses that go along with being an athletic dept. I have always been of the mindset that olemiss will sell their souls for football and would find a way to pay him. We will see.

MSU and ole miss can work around the 4 year issue. And on that "article" I think it was one of their guys on twitter posting it.

That was mentioned on a UF podcast I watched last night.

Finebaum was on somebody?s podcast yesterday and he said he knows people very close to Lane and they said he is really torn by this. It?s real. He is very seriously thinking about taking the Florida job.

[Coach34]

Disagree

You can still win a title there. But consistency is harder there than other top schools.

[Todd4State]

And this is the thing. It's not what a program is now. It's what they can potentially be. Just like our baseball program wasn't as good as it could be with Lemonis so we went out and got an elite coach that can use our resources.

Ole Miss can go more than 4 years. Wish people would understand that. The state portion can only be 4 years. But state and ole miss both give longer deals via the bulldog club etc. kiffen is currently under contract til 2030. So the info is wrong.

Money will be a non-factor. Not much difference in making 13MM or 11.5MM. Plus now they do contracts with the Foundations and such that are longer than 4 years because they are private entities.

It's going to come down to:

1. Does Lame want to live in Fla?
2. How much pressure is Layla/kids putting on him moving to Fla?
3. Does he think going to Fla is an easier path to a title due to recruiting and football program rep?
4. Is he willing to risk giving up job security for a more volatile situation?

That will be the deciding factors

I just read an interview with him talking about Florida. Here is what he said last time he played Fl down there in an interview. "It's special place", he met his wife, loves SS.......he also said he will meet with team saying, "this is what happens when you win, it's not about the money, it's about what we can do with winning every day."
Hmmm, seems he is a little torn but no doubt it is own his mind. I don't think a decision will bemad for a fews for him, no Florida and Strickland, who knows.

1.8 million a year is a difference, especially when you factor in no state income tax in Florida. That's another 520k in MS state income tax. So now you're talking 2.3 million a year difference. Thats over a 20% raise.

I get what you're saying about other life factors mattering more though.

[AlSwearengen]

Florida never really wanted Mullen and I think that was part of the short rope that he received from them. Dan is a good coach; but he doesn’t like the recruiting game and has issues with assistant coaches. At Florida, you have to do it all bc they want to be in the NC discussion consistently. Other than Mullen, they haven’t really had a very good coach in quite awhile. As much as I hate to say it, Kiffen checks all of the boxes.

Look at some of the players that Sun Belt Billie was able to get to Florida; they have a couple young wr’s that are absolute freaks. Kiffen in the state of Florida with their money for NIL would change the landscape.

[1eyedog]

I know NIL makes everything impossible to read.....but assuming om makes the playoff but not the Championship this year......how does om schedule look next three years?? They don’t play this year either Tx school, Tenn, Vandy, Bama or ‘Auburn, What is their schedule looking like the next three years if he stays??

No homeowner tax will be voted on next year. That's another big time saving when you talk about how much his house is likely to cost.

This is their 1998 schedule for us (we had Vandy, KY, and USCe from the east). This is their shot. It will never get easier than this.
They draw 5 of the bottom 6 teams (KY, Ark, State, Florida, USCe) and LSU is down and may finish in the bottom 6.

[Pancho]

2026 - the sharts have MSU, LSU, oklahoma, aubie, UGA, Mizzzou, gators , vandy and texsa. 2027- MSU, LSU, oklahoma, Bama, kentucky, USCe, hogs, Tenn and A&M

No is talking about South Carolina either with Shane Beamer maybe going to Virginia Tech.

If Shane goes to VT I think SC takes a chance on Jimbo. They will not get a top tier coach.

Mullen getting a new job this year. Too many openings if these things happen.

Maybe just me but Shane does not get the South Carolina job without his last name. He is definitely the version of a CEO coach. Now getting another landing spot before being fired, because of his name.

We shall see. My guess is 50/50.

Then he should have signed the new deal Carter put on the table and made it known he?s staying.

Kiffin is the belle of the ball this season. Other shoes are going to drop. LSU and Texas may come open too.

Lane ain't going nowhere.

If this game changed it, he wasn’t going anyways. He will leave if he wants to.

He would burn the grove down walking out the door to lsu or Texas. Those are the 2 I'd be worried about if I were an OM fan. I don't think sark gets the nfl job and I think lsu fires Kelly next year, so lane stays... this year.

Agreed. If he can get Ole Miss to the playoffs, why would he leave?

[Saltydog]

The more they win (and they'll be favored in the remainder of their games) then the more I think he stays because they'll be a high seed in the playoffs and could make a deep run.

The playoffs don?t really mean much with the expansion. The same 4-7 teams are the only ones that will win a NC

He’s going to the CFP....a million or two less......his children are Gods and Godess......He has no bosses unless Scruggs goes stupid.....all the ........well you know.....he is the perfect fit for the perfect job.......in addition....I was riding home from vacation with my son a huge om fan...I can’t tell you how many times I heard the horribly bias om announcers say the okie qb missed a “wide open” receiver.......om homies do NOT say that. Apparently the okie qb is HORRIBLE.........It is what it is....
