Lane to AU heating up

He's the Sports Director for WCBI but I have no clue on who his sources would be.

[HoopsDawg]

No clue who Ole Miss goes after. It will be interesting.

[HoopsDawg]

The Ole Miss beat writers are even saying Lane is gone. AU just built a brand new 92 million dollar football facility.

[Quaoarsking]

No clue who Ole Miss goes after. It will be interesting.

Jeff Lebby seems like the early favorite. Or maybe RichRod?

[Homedawg]

They can do better than Lebby. But that's me.

Is this the guy that broke story that Cohen was gone?

[TrapGame]

As soon as Lane didn't immediately sign that new offer everyone knew he was gone. Saying "I love it here." while an extension and big ass raise is laying unsigned on your desk doesn't convince people. It's actually the opposite.

[msstate7]

Think I may go bet us on money line

[BeardoMSU]

Smart man, lol.

[BuckyIsAB****]

I wonder if they will have any one opt out

[BeardoMSU]

I wonder if they will have any one opt out

They definitely have a bunch of mercs who don't give af about the cultural importance of the EB, so I'd have to say yeah...**

[TrapGame]

I wonder if they will have any one opt out

Just the players going with Lane to Auburn.**

[Saltydog]

McCready told the minions today that there was about an 80% chance that he was gone so that could be the "source", if you can call him that.

[Commercecomet24]

He had the look on his face Saturday night of a man who was a
Million miles away. His mind was not in Arkansas Saturday

[msstate7]

This is funny as hell for OM, but auburn getting lane sucks for us too.

Yes to both counts but the sec never is easy in any sport. It's a shark tank.

[DownwardDawg]

Incredibly true post.

[Leroy Jenkins]

That game just went from a toss-up every other year, to leaning AUs way. Maybe we will only have to deal with it for one more year after the realignment.

[BrunswickDawg]

This is funny as hell for OM, but auburn getting lane sucks for us too.

Auburn is historically up and down. They can't sustain it without eating their own. Lane won't change that. He may win for 3-4 seasons, but no way they build something before it all blows up again.

[Turfdawg67]

They definitely have a bunch of mercs who don't give af about the cultural importance of the EB, so I'd have to say yeah...**

You don't think there'll be a "Win one for the Gipper" feeling on Thurs? In all honesty, I think there will be, mainly because most of their best players are undergraduates and might follow him to Auburn

[msstate7]

Pike road, AL is 45 mins from auburn, AL. Why is this interesting? Pike road is Judkins home town.

[Commercecomet24]

Yeah they've always been kind of an

[Jarius]

This is funny as hell for OM, but auburn getting lane sucks for us too.

It’s not the best move possible for us but him at Auburn is a lot better for us than him at ole miss. It’s not even close.

[msstate7]

It?s not the best move possible for us but him at Auburn is a lot better for us than him at ole miss. It?s not even close.

Certainly seems that way. We'll have to see who they replace him with to be sure though

He gone

[Commercecomet24]

This certainly gonna make Thursday interesting

[Commercecomet24]

Auburn done pine boxed om for the second time lol

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Cohen trying the same strategy that got him the MSU AD job. Cohen supposedly leaked the story while Keenum was still interviewing candidates.

I agree with most of your posts, but I disagree. I think Lane will force Saban into retirement and win the SEC in 2-3 years. The only caveat is the guaranteed money... it's gotta be hard to be THAT dedicated to a profession when you have $100M in the bank. Only a few are that dedicated, Saban being one of course. Look what happened to Fisher... he looks like he could give a 17, and... looks like he drinks a fifth of $500 scotch before every game.

Here is what is going on:

1. Lame has accepted the job thru his agent Sexton
2. Mississippi doesnt want it to leak before the Egg Bowl
3. Auburn may not want it to leak before the Iron Bowl out of respek to Cadillac
4. Auburn may not care about Cadillac and want the spotlight of it during the Iron Bowl

A couple of other AU posters on the Rant are saying they joined an ole miss pay site and insiders on the pay board are saying Kiffin is 100% gone. One of the pay site ole miss insiders said he heard it straight from the chancellor TODAY.

Just a rule of thumb, if a coach says he is excited about what they are building at a school then just go ahead and fire up the new coach hot board.

Yep Pine Box part deux,

[StarkVegasSteve]

David Johnson just reported that he is likely gone. When their media is even saying he is gone then I would say it is 50/50 he even coaches on Thursday. Also will say this, Sokoloff having the inside scoop on the Cohen stuff and now Lane is not a coincidence. I would imagine that is being fed to him either directly by Cohen or by someone in his extreme inner circle.

I believe so too.

Agreed. Kiffin opened himself up for that question from Sokoloff. I would hammer him with it now.

[BuckyIsAB****]

This is why I dont have a twitter. This is just messy on Kiffin

[Maroonthirteen]

My first thought was Cohen would be the source..... but that seems to be a risky move to piss off your number 1 target of your most important task of your career, before he has been officially hired. What would Cohen have to gain (at his new job) by doing that?

Anyways, Cohen isn't leaking it but someone at Auburn is.

[StarkVegasSteve]

He is back to immature childish Lane tonight on Twitter. He is going to get hammered for this in about 4 days

[BuckyIsAB****]

He's being honest...it's news to him that AU hasn't offered the job...

[StarkVegasSteve]

Its pretty immature in my opinion. And I know we go back and forth on here but that is just tacky on his part

Generally speaking it is not a good idea to piss off the media because now Sokoloff, along with other media members, are going to hammer him before the ink is even dry on his Auburn contract

This alone makes him better than Stricklin who tried to take all of our coaches.

If anything I think it could be the opposite because with the portal which didn't exist when Knute Rockne was around these players follow coaches to an extent. Remember- a lot of Ole Miss's players aren't from Mississippi or Memphis.

I agree on all points. However, if I'm Auburn it's good to make sure that everyone knows who the coach is just in case Cadillac pulls the upset of the century. I don't expect that to happen or anything like that. But Cohen did get into a bit of a hairy deal a little but with Gary Henderson when he took us to Omaha. Weird things can happen in sports.

Exactly. And he dislikes Saban. I think he wants payback and it's a lot easier to get payback on him at Auburn than it is Ole Miss. Plus it will have maximum impact because of the Iron Bowl.

And speaking of what he did at Tennessee- he basically immediately tried to get all of their recruits to USC and tried to get guys to transfer pre portal. Really set Tennessee back for awhile.

Also- Lane likes and respects Leach. He may not really like competing with him head to head all that much.

It's business. And Cohen can be ruthless at times. Who knows? It may not be Cohen. But Sokoloff has been right before when it involved Cohen. If it's not Cohen it's someone likely connected to him.


Yes. Not to mention distract from what Coach Caddy is doing before the Iron Bowl.

So? He's not a candidate anyway.

100%

Auburn knows that if somehow Cadillac pulls off the upset of the year , a certain segment of the Auburn Family will riot if they do not hire Caddy.

Leak the kiffin hire

Demoralize the players sort of that wanted caddy to be the head coach

This is all going to plan.

It?s Either

1. Someone from Auburn that wants to get it out there to make the fans at ole miss turn on kiffin and make sure auburn knows the next coach in case caddy pulls off the unthinkable

Or

2. A pissed off Ole Miss person who wants to ruin lane?s image.

Maybe it was used as a “Let’s Rally around Caddy” kind of thing. I mean they know he isn’t getting it cause they already introduced Kiffen, Bama is beatable this year, so let’s give them some motivation to send Caddy off in the sunlight.

I can kinda see the point. If Friday comes and goes tho and Kiffen is still at Oxford, well then all of this was nothing but a distraction from the get go…

So you're saying the AD at (insert school here) trying to hire Mullen away, leaked to the media that he/she was hiring Mullen?

I always assumed it was Mullen's agent leaking Mullen here and there to drive up negotiations.

Lol yep. I have heard a bunch say no way lane goes to auburn that would be lateral move! Also said they have way more money and resources than auburn. The delusion is real!

As stated repeatedly on many college football radio programs: OM has yet to win the West or challenge for a playoff spot in the last twenty plus years. Auburn has done it three times in that time period. Auburn > Ole Miss

All I know is that every minute he spends on crap like this is one less minute he is preparing for the game. I'm guessing he's probably had to turn his phone off to get anything done the last few days. Every recruit, reporter, etc. is probably blowing him up.

The real issue with HC uncertainty is the assistans having to worry about their jobs, putting out feelers, moving their families, and everything that comes with a job move. They do all the heavy lifting with scouting, teaching technique, gameplanning, and so on.

And if he stays unemployed the Panthers owe him $40 million. If he gets a new job the amount the Panthers owe is reduced dollar-for-dollar by whatever his new job pays.

Its good work if you can get it.

[Johnson85]

Hell, Dan said the same thing about Collins and Florida.

Pre-NIL, there was an argument for all of those but Florida and maybe UT. Miami had expectations but leadership didn't want to commit resources to football. Twice they interviewed Dan with an expectation that they were somehow going to pay him less to leave MSU. Pittsburgh and Maryland are afterthoughts. And UT had 1999 expectations but no recruiting base and an inability to really be a national recruiter and more competition trying to recruit the Southeast.

Auburn was not a lateral move pre-NIL either. They had the same UT expectations and toxic boosters but at least were in fertile recruiting grounds. They're probably closer to a lateral move now because while resources have gotten better for them, Saban's success has made them even crazier.

Post-NIL, I'm not sure how Pittsburg and Maryland will stack up, but Miami probably is a step ahead between more booster money for NIL and less competition. And UT is a player again now that they can just pay to expand their recruiting footprint.

[trojandawg]

Listening to full ride this morning on ESPN U. Dan said basically same thing. Auburn has more resources he also said main concern was in state though how you are judged in state or compared. He said ole miss had more resources and not just football but with supporting town where you get your groceries and hair cut. I didn't know Oxford had a target. I think it's safe to say to the guys saying he is coming back that there is no chance of that happening. I don't think Mullen will come back after saying something like that.

[StarkVegasSteve]

One thing I have found very amusing in all this, usually they think everything Johnson, Mcready, Parham, Borkey, etc. say is gospel. However, the minute they happen to not agree with them then the narrative is that they are harming the university and if it is negative then they do not need to report it.

They truly are grasping at straws. Just today, they have been fooled by a fake Snapchat and a fake Twitter Acct.

Is Rhule even that great?

https://i.imgur.com/hJuethR.png

His predecessor at Temple was Steve Addazio, who had a winning record there and was hired away, and before that was Al Golden, who actually built the program and was hired away. Even with that foundation he wasn't even clearly doing a good job until year 3, and that's after the AAC (former Big East) lost its AQ status.

His predecessor at Baylor was Art Briles, who was fantastic. Obviously he left the program in personal shame and ignominy, but there was still an expectation of winning there, and opening the year with a loss to Liberty (still FCS at the time) and UTSA was awful. 1-11 was a huge underachieve, and he ended with a losing record and losing conference record.

His stent at the Panthers was a disaster, and while you can't blame it all on the head coach, it's the 3rd straight job without impressive results.

I just don't get why so many people salivate over this guy. Is it because 1 time in his 10 years of head coaching he had a good team?

[Leroy Jenkins]

He got better every year at each stop. His last 2 years at Temple he was 20-7. His last 2 years at Baylor were 18-9. For me the first year anywhere doesn't hold much weight. JMHO.

Baylor was in shambles when he took over. Players left (including Stidham who didn't even play the fall of 2016) and they only had 1 committed player when he was hired. That was a dang great turn around that fast.

Addazio won his first year with Golden's players but didn't recruit his 2 years well. He went 4-7 his second year and was lucky to get that BC job because if he had coached a 3rd year it would have been bad. Rhule took the crap that was left went 2-10 his first year then built it back quickly.

Temple and Baylor both got worse under Rhule before they got better. Temple wasn't in shambles at all. Baylor was already over the worst of it and went 7-6 in the interim year after Briles under Jim Grobe. They weren't losing to FCS teams until Rhule got there.

That's not true at all. Concerning Baylor. Art was fired before the season of 2016, the AD left, players left after the season and Stidham opted out and all but 1 player dropped their commitment during the 2016 season. He took over right after it imploded. That was textbook shambles.

Temple wasn't in shambles but Addozio left it in the middle of a down turn he was responsible for. Again, He was 4-7 the year he left for BC.

Chadwell at Ole Miss would be even worse for us than Kiffin. I hope their AD stays out of Conway SC and Winston Salem.

I mean it's kind of relative though. He's had some really good teams, but the weakness of the conference has helped in the national rankings too. Put him with those teams in the SEC they are not winning that many games. But against his peers, his is doing good and keeping them closer to their ceiling. Their budget is reflective of that. They are an upper tier Big 12 team financially and his is matching that record wise.

The administration supposedly gave Kiffin everything he asked for at OM, including getting the NIL a good bit above what he asked for.

Never was. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it wasn't Lane who leaked Lane's name. It kept him and their program at the head of sports news all week and led to a big bump in their NIL war chest.

According to agent circles. Lane staying, Freeze to Auburn, Leach retiring

That would be a new.... most Mississippi State thing ever.... if Sunday, Kiffen was still at OM, our former baseball player hires Freeze at Auburn and State without a coach.

Can't wait to sit in that stadium tomorrow.

[confucius say]

Y'all really think cohen is hiring freeze?

[Activated Alpha]

Highly doubt Lane leaves OM. Up here in rebel territory and already into the $300 worth of alcohol. I am prepared to watch the prison rape of an EB tomorrow night

[Maroonthirteen]

No. But.... damn so many are saying it.

Yep.......Assuming we lose tomorrow night and Leach subsequently retires, the only way to stop their momentum is to go after Prime and we all know that ain't gonna happen.......

Cohen has zero say in this hire. It's his Job just to not F it up and auburn about to be educated on that.

We don't have the balls to go after Prime. We will play it safe and hire Malzahn. Not a bad hire but in no way splashy.

I'd rather have Will Hall than Gus......Has Mrs. Malzahn been committed to a psych ward lately? Remember the videos and all the rumors about her and players, etc......She Cra Cra.....

Unpopular opinion, Gus would be a better hire that Prime. Hell, Gus is a better hire than Freeze or Kiffin.

I actually would be okay with Gus. He knows what's required of him in the SEC.

[yjnkdawg]

This is really turned into a circus concerning Kiffin. I really don't think anybody knows what Kiffin is going to do other then Kiffin and Sexton. Is all this being said for the player's benefit for tomorrow night, trolling Auburn, or is he really staying at OM? And the Kiffin circus continues.

He sure has handled this about as poorly as he could. He could have squashed the rumor quickly, but didn’t and started trolling people.

Sexton told him to hold out for A&M. Kinda joking, but not really.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Kiffin getting paid, Ole Miss NIL is above $10M while MSU?s is about 20 percent of that. Egg Blowout and Freeze is back in the SEC.

Dan Mullen just texted the team a chain emoji, he?s staying.

You left out Leach leaving.......

[TrapGame]

Auburn's 247 main mod says Lane has not turned them down. The offer to him is still on the table.

This is some crazy shit.

[Anonymous]

He coached a team to the National Championship game during the most difficult time to do it in the SEC. He?s won 8+ games 9 of his 11 seasons as HC at 3 different schools. It?s pretty laughable to me that Kiffin or Prime are even mentioned in the same sentence as Gus.

Multiple auburn beat writers saying it's still kiffin.

Wild stuff lol!

Not surprising with Kiffin involved.

[confucius say]

Kiffin is leaving.
Leach is not.

[PGHBulldogBG]

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

[yjnkdawg]

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

[Bothrops]

Kiffin is going to Auburn. Its happening.

[TheLostDawg]

Multiple auburn beat writers saying it's still kiffin.

Wild stuff lol!

If this fails through, there are going to be some Auburn fans very upset

All the OM ones did too until this new "breaking news" or whatever happened. I don't think he has signed that OM contract yet, and if he just told the players that he is staying that could mean till after the Egg Bowl. Stay tuned for more confusion on the Kiffin Network.

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

Yep and it's quite entertaining

If this falls through I'm pretty sure that Yellawood ain't gonna be happy.

He's supposed to sign the extension tomorrow in a big show before the Egg.

Hold on to your butts.
