Lane to AU heating up

[duncflydawg]

This reeks of a desperation attempt to get coaches and players mind back on the Egg Bowl. I still think Lane to Auburn is happening.

[yjnkdawg]

I like Leach a lot but I agree, we need to modernize.

I like him too, but I just meant if he retired. Too many what ifs too keep up with. He's retiring , He's not retiring. He's going to get fired (not happening).

Same thinking here.

[PikeDawg15]

This smells like Jimmy Sexton trying to get more money out of Auburn.

[Bothrops]

Lane is not leaving Ole Miss for Auburn as I have said for awhile now. He will leave them but only for a true blue blood. In some ways I think people give Lane too much credit. Lane is 0-3 against Bama, 1-2 against Pittman, 1-2 against LSU, 1-2 against Auburn, 0-1 against Aranda and Baylor who is a better coach than Lane (wins with less talent). He got a good record by playing Vandy 3 times, UK twice, a Will Muschamp SC team and missed aTm in 2020 due to COVID. I do think he is a solid coach but not as elite as he is portrayed. That being said I think we lose tomorrow, but we have our own problems

Auburn is still a blue blood. They've played for 2 natty's since 2010 and got one of them. They also could have won it in 03 or 04? Theyre willing to do anything to win, just like Bama.

Baylor has been doing more with less for years.

[Commercecomet24]

I like him too, but I just meant if he retired. Too many what ifs too keep up with. He's retiring , He's not retiring. He's going to get fired (not happening).

Yep I agree with you on all and this week has been a circus all the way around

[Todd4State]

This smells like Ole Miss trying to keep players from opting out of the Egg Bowl.

[Todd4State]

Switching back to our side, I would rather have a HC that runs the air raid but the modern version.


I like Leach a lot but I agree, we need to modernize.

I think if Will would push the ball down the field more it would become a lot more modern very quickly.

[Commercecomet24]

Could be but Sexton has gotten Kiffin an over $9 million +year contract offer from OM supposedly and if Freeze was hired by Auburn then he could negotiate Freeze's contract. I think OM knows it ain't over until he actually signs that contract if he does.

Yeah until the inks dry anything can happen just ask Tennessee about Danny boy lol

[Anonymous]

Reminder that if OM offers equal money, it?s still half of Auburn?s offer. $10m per year is irrelevant when one contract is twice as long as the other. It isn?t 10 mil vs 10 mil, it?s 40 vs 80.

I agree if money is the deciding factor on whether he leaves or stays.

Auburn will come back with 10M over 7 or 8 probably.

This is probably about to get past Ole Miss's comfort level.

[TNDawg35]

So now a report comes out from On3 , from SPIRIT BEN AND BARSTOOL MINTZY, of all people I know… That Kiffen told players he is “LIKELY” staying unless something drastic happens…

What the hell kind of game are they playing up there? I mean it’s really simple, your either leaving or you aren’t. Why are they acting like they are all of a sudden flipping him back…

We all know how this plays out. If he was staying, he would have already signed the extension. I reckon he is trying to save face before the egg to get OM to play half ass worth a damn…

This shit is crazy…

[Pancho]

par for the course for a narcissist

[duncflydawg]

Without a signed extension to put this to bed, I have a hard time believing he is planning on staying.

[msstate7]

If you have 2 teams fighting over you, it only makes sense to wait to see where the money reaches.

[Quaoarsking]

While it's impossible to say anything for sure, I feel like all signs still point to him going to Auburn.

[Catfish]

Lane can stop this anytime.

[msudawg1200]

Lane can stop this anytime.
I want it to keep going to kickoff and after.

[DownwardDawg]

If he doesn't announce that he's staying before kickoff tonight, he's gone.
He could very well stay and make that announcement this afternoon. Then Auburn will hire Freeze. The winner in all this?? Sexton.

[DownwardDawg]

Meanwhile, I hope ole miss got to enjoy this week as we did many times when Mullen was our coach.

[PGHBulldogBG]

If Lane stays, Ole Miss is going to have this drama every year if they win at least 8 games and get ranked

[Catfish]

If Lane stays, Ole Miss is going to have this drama every year if they win at least 8 games and get ranked

It's gonna be tough for ole Lane to get 8 wins next year.

[TrapGame]

That talk to the team Tuesday was a complete disaster. Weds practice must have been god awful. There is some push back to what he told the team yesterday. Some people are saying he never told them point blank he was absolutely staying. Then instead of signing the extension right then in front of his team, he said he'd sign it today before the game.

There are Auburn folks still saying it's Kiffin.

Freshwater did a good job at OM but he also caught the perfect storm of an awesome QB one year and a super soft schedule the next.

I could see him doing very average at Auburn.

Just heard from a rank and file Rebel, who probably heard from a rank and file Rebel, so for whatever it is worth .....

anyways.... Carter isn't happy today that Kiffin didn't sign last night. Supposedly Carter is putting the pressure on today as I type.

My .02, Very telling he won't sign.

[TrapGame]

Let's get this straight.

Kiffin said he is "likely to stay". He never said "I'm staying! **** those Leg Humpers! Now give me that extension to sign, now!" And this is what some in their fan base want you to believe is what happened. This was just as worthless as his Tuesday talk to the team.

[msstate7]

Freshwater did a good job at OM but he also caught the perfect storm of an awesome QB one year and a super soft schedule the next.

He also did well at FAU. He's 14-9 (.609) in sec games at OM. Mullen's winning % at state overall was .600. Yeah, kiffin is winning sec games as a higher clip than mullen won overall here... that's impressive. Kiffin is outstanding, and I don't want him at OM

[Commercecomet24]

Good assessment. And I think he's a good coach but he's certainly not elite

14-10 right?

But regardless, yea he's good. I could argue how good considering he's gotten vandy every year and avoided uga, so probably worth at least 1-2 games over that stretch. But I can't argue he's not done a good job.

[DownwardDawg]

I think he's good, but I'm not sold that he's great. I know you're a stats guy, which is why you were off on Jimbo so bad. Stats said Jimbo was great.......until they didn't anymore. He's a terrible HC and might be completely unemployed in a year or 2. Kiffin has been great at ole miss but there were contributing factors as has been pointed out. I didn't follow him at FAU but I'm sure he got a bump in recruiting due to his name alone and the fact that he was endorsed by Saban. Time will tell though. He's certainly done well at ole miss and I won't miss him.

[Todd4State]

There are so many factors that go into a good coaching situation. He followed a coach who guided them through probation. And he had the talent to make it work and a favorable schedule.

Similar to Dan replacing Croom.

[LC Dawg]

What Kiffin allegedly said to the team last night was far less definitive than Tuberville's pine box statement and we know how that ended up.
It's obvious that Kiffin is immature from various actions and I think he is just enjoying people fighting over him.
I'm beginning to think he really hasn't decided and he thinks this is all fun and wants to keep it going as long as he can.
And even if he stays at Ole Miss they know this will take place at the end of every year forward.

[CadaverDawg]

Kiffin told the players last night that he was "staying and will coach here next year. But if something changes you'll be the first to know, you won't find out from social media", basically.

So he has the team believing he is staying as of today. I know that for absolute fact.

Is that just as a courtesy to Ole Miss and to keep his team focused? Maybe. But what an awful look it would be now for him to announce he's leaving Friday. However, he definitely left himself a bit of an "out" if needed.

Personally, I still don't think he's leaving. I think we lose handily, he announces he's staying with a monster contract and now a buffed up NIL, their fans feel like they're super bowl champs, and Leach stays as well....and we come out with a typical MSU 0-fer on the weekend, and can focus on hoops. But I've been told I can be a bit pessimistic.

Regardless, the damage is done! There?s doubt in everyone?s minds from players, fans, administration, and boosters moving forward. If he stays, they know they will be doing this every year, and we know what that does to a fan base and recruiting. Sexton will be shopping his ass season to season, and he knows that he?s got OM by the short hairs!

I'm a negative Nellie I guess, but if you think it will upset me to see him leave, you're crazy. I'm hoping like hell he leaves. There's a reason Auburn wants him and only him, and a reason that Bama doesn't want him at Auburn. Same reason I don't want him at OM. He's damn good

Has Lane signed that extension yet?

[WSOPdawg]

Has Lane signed that extension yet?

Hypothetically speaking, if Lane held up his signed extension in the locker room (about now), that would be the ultimate "Lombardi, fire the team up" speech. Now, is that going to happen? I think he's heading to Auburn, but who knows.

[msstate7]

Now the real fun begins

[Mjoelner34]

Well, my prediction was wrong. I initially thought he was gone but Monday I started thinking it was going to be a 'win the press conference', flip your coach type of deal today with all the cameras rolling for the game tonight.

[Saltydog]

IF Lane has an Auburn offer in hand, he better damn sure take it. Losing 4 of your last 5 games isn't a good look and his stock has got to be dropping. He'd better take the money and RUN.

A little less than three seasons is when his deceptively poor recruiting and evaluation really started catching up to him at USCw, and despite the benefit of the transfer portal things appear to be playing out for him the same way at OM. Even with the mercenaries, cracks not seen the first two seasons are evident in his team this year. He had indeed better get out now, because if he is in fact following the same pattern he's squarely on the down slope.

[Goldendawg]

Listened to the OM post game show and his interview as we went to get gas, (Couldn't pick up State's). Interviewer closed by trying to say something positive, "On to a bowl game and a win". Lane, "Well, I guess".

Ole Miss's top two transfers former teams are 21-1 and ranked 4th and 6th. Dart and Evans are good but the excitement over them was based on their high school rankings. Ole Miss won the press conference with their transfer portal "success" but it didn't translate into winning more games.

Ehh i think I softly disagree with this. I believe they lose 2 more games if Ayltmeyer was their QB this year

The end came because everybody started taking JCs too. For a while Kansas State and MSU were the JC aristocrats.

Oklahoma won the 2000 NC with a huge injection of JCs. The 2000 Heismann runner up and NC winning QB was a JC, Josh Heupel.

When everyone else started dipping in JC, then MSU had to get the infamous Western Arizona bunch and FCS guys like TJ Mawhinney (sp?)

Jackie's biggest error was the allegiance to obsolete offensive strategy and tactics. He wanted to play like old-time Alabama and Tennessee even as young Gun coaches like Bob Stoops were changing the game

Yep the guy who just took the reigns over from the previous OC and ran the exact same things because he was an OL coach. And now Heupel himself runs Air Raid variants to this day. Leach's blueprints were there though.

This was kind of blown over with the tweet but I don't see how it works. Either he's a state employee or he's not. Are they approaching this as he's not employed by the state university but he's coaching the state university's team and being paid all by private money?

If I were them, I'd certainly go back to him and say it didn't work out. No way I'd extend him 6 plus years after the way they ended the season. They took advantage of an easy season. I can see one year to keep it together with players and recruiting but no way I extend more than 4.
