Lots of talk behind the scenes right now

[Coach34]

Lame won?t be coaching the Egg Bowl

He’s tried to put them off and they aren’t having it

[1eyedog]

What you got Coach?

[Maverick91]

They are calling his bluff?

[Coach34]

The family trips to Fla and LSU has got their fanbase acting like a girlfriend that knows the breakup is coming so they gonna force it out

[EdwardDrayton]

Reportedly his family has been flown to Baton Rouge and Gainesville to visit. So this is gonna happen it's just a matter of which one.

A Challenger 305 from BTR landed at UOX a little while ago. Now its airborne again headed back.

I need Bart Stare!!

This has been confirmed by numers reliable folks. Not ambiguous at all here.

Nola.com confirmed the Baton Rouge today

[HoopsDawg]

Im sure Golding is going to angle for the job. Be an interesting search. This is good news for us.

[preachermatt83]

I live 45 mins from BR…. The big shots here are sayin “done deal”

[Leroy Jenkins]

When your spouse goes on 2 dates with other people, not a good look.

Mullen?s Gainesville house surprisingly put under contract today. 3.25 mil. Plot thickens.

You’re dang right it is. I hope they hire somebody boring too. I think Sumrall would not be the splash they want

[DawgFromOxford]

Mullen to Florida ***

[Coach34]

Golding is unlikely to get that job.

[Santiago]

Gotta tip your hat to ADKC, he is at least forcing this to end in one way or another.

[EdwardDrayton]

I hedged it only because I had heard it but had not had time to confirm it personally.

[EdwardDrayton]

That's an unbelievable coincidence even if totally unrelated.

[HoopsDawg]

I cant think of a coach that would concern me.

[Dawgface]

Mullen to OM.

[Turfdawg67]

Mullen to OM.

Hopefully that would mean a couple of EB wins for us as he was looking for another gig

[HoopsDawg]

Golding is unlikely to get that job.

"Uh oh, Raggy". :)

Telling isn't it. They were desperate.
Carter dropped the ball missing out on Sumrall, Golesh, Franklin, etc
OM people really wanted Sumrall

The only thing that seems to make sense is Kiffin was still dancing with them about coming back. By the time OM decided to stop cutting bait, the music had stopped and all those names had a seat elsewhere already. Likely Kiffin was being disingenuous at the very least and OM should have realized it sooner.

Kiffin had them by the balls. He wanted to coach in the playoffs and Carter said no. At that point, Lane could have left. He didn't and chose to drag it out to screw OM as much as he could. Carter couldn't fire Kiffin unless they was willing to pay the buy out. Sumrall wanted the job and OM wanted Sumrall or Golesh, but neither waited around. They had to make decisions quickly while they had the opportunity.

Now Carter could have suspended Kiffin, but I don't know if you can hire a coach outside the program under those circumstances. If you can, that's probably what he should have done in hindsight.

Kiffin really royally tried his best to burn them before he left.

Yes, but it?s been obvious he was leaving for weeks. Carter dropped the ball big time. Its hilarious watching the Rebs try to spin this hire.

[Coach34]

They panicked and tried to show the playoff committee they had stability. I love it

[Activated Alpha]

Just another example of C34 talking out his ass.

They could have let Lame coach them thru the playoffs and had a real coaching search. Their pride got in the way as usual. They cant handle not being viewed as a destination job instead of a stepping stone. It eats them up to their core.

There are times I'm giving an opinion and there are times I'm spreading info I have received. Hiring Golding was my opinion because I thought it was really dumb and didnt think an AD like Carter would make a mistake like that.

So you agree with Carter and Golding is a good hire I see. Well, we shall see evidence soon.

Have to think Carter believed the playoff game was his hole card to get him to stay. He wasn't holding as strong a hand as he thought.

[EdwardDrayton]

What do you foresee the committee doing with them?

[EdwardDrayton]

I had ZERO doubt he would leave. He's a moron but he's not a COMPLETE moron.

Yep. How it played out the end with them hiring Golding surprised me too. They really thought that they could keep Kiffin and didn't have a plan B. Cohen handled Dan much better.

[Todd4State]

I think they're going to drop and have to play a playoff game on the road.

[Coach34]

Yeah- they have to drop them some spots losing their HC and both OC's

[EdwardDrayton]

I think they're going to drop and have to play a playoff game on the road.

That sure seems the logical outcome.

[Coach34]

Also- my opinion on Kentucky and Stoops is wrong. They are firing him apparently.

Pete Thamel reports that according to his contract- they have to pay him $37MM in the next 60 days....****ing wow

The latest apparently is they negotiated an installment plan. So now it makes more sense.

This ^. Golding was not an option until after that meeting last night. They had literally no one left last minute to salvage this playoff appearance. He got the job because the alternative was going to torpedo their playoff appearance. Sumrall was gone and Golesh was gone; this fell into Golding?s lap and OM is doing their normal spin.

[DownwardDawg]

Just another example of C34 talking out his ass.

Not this time. There's no F'n way they were gonna hire Golding to replace their Savior. Then, he drug his nuts all over their program and made them wait until all the other programs scooped up the best candidates. Lane has nuked that program on his way out the door.

[LC Dawg]

It was pretty obvious that Kiffin was leaving after their game with Florida. Carter could have pushed him for an answer but he knew if they lost the Egg Bowl they probably are out of the CFP. So the truth is that Carter wasn't confident in having Golding (or Judge) coach them in the Egg Bowl. And now he has to sell that Golding is the answer.

Yep. They chose the short term gain which is probably a road game and likely won't even be in Oxford. And then on top of that we'll get to see how this works out long term. I'm guessing that this is going to end up being at least a two year rebuild.

I'm not surprised that they were going to do whatever they needed to do to win the Egg Bowl.

It is pretty funny though that they have the former head coach of the New York Giants on their staff and he was not promoted to interim HC. They named their DC who has been very average this season.

Agree. Panic hire due to being afraid of losing players and needing perceived continuity.
