I think Bama fans would love that. But Lane will not be a factor there until some very high level boosters have passed.Quote:

I am seeing several LSU podcasters saying he has entered the chat.
There is some thought that he could deliver Leavitt with him and that would make him an option.Quote:

Some believe that Florida was the one who leaked all the Sumrall stuff yesterday hoping that it would bring Kiffin back to the table. It seems they are fading in that pursuit.
LSU is pretty confident they will have a decision before the Egg Bowl one way or the other. Credit to them, they kind of hid in plain sight in the Kiffin pursuit until it was time to emerge. There are some in their circles that are pissed at Kiffin for making everything with the planes so public. I think there was a lot of thought that they could hammer this stuff out while Florida had all the public momentum.
Kiffin has irreparably harmed his reputation in Oxford and I do not know that he will ever fully recover. There are a lot of questions in the building on what he is going to do and he is trying to play it off like nothing is different and it is business as usual. I know of two boosters who have told Keith and Glenn that they want a decision BEFORE the team leaves for Starkville on what Lane is going to do. There are multiple starters whose reps have been in contact with Walker Jones about needing clarity on the situation. There is a growing sentiment in Oxford that if they lose next Friday, OM will push Kiffin to take either the LSU or Florida job.
No inside info on this, but I think Kiffin wants to go to LSU but wants to coach his team in the playoffs. I think he is going to hold off for as long as he can and kind of force OM to make a decision one way or the other.
does anyone blame kiffin for wanting the LSU job? or for wanting to coach this team in the playoffs?Quote:

Objectively, I don't see why he couldn't do both.Quote:

I can?t blame Carter for that and can?t blame Kiffin for not signing it yet. This is nothing like Mullen talking to Miami or Maryland.
Despite what Ole Miss wants to believe, they are not Florida or LSU. Florida and LSU have more pedigree and similar resources to compete. OM truly has no pedigree. No one outside of themselves credits their natty from 80 years ago.
I?m unaware that Kiffin had anything to do with the private jet info being leaked. Fans stalk that.
I don't necessarily blame him, but I also understand the schools wanting the coaches focused on assembling next year's team.Quote:

I'll tackle this from both sides. Let's say he wants to take the LSU job and intends to take the job.Quote:

That means at a minimum LSU's new HC has missed the early signing period for HS and the portal opens Jan 2, the same day he would be officially accepting the job. So that means he would have 19 days to build a staff, recruit his new roster, and recruit the portal. And what if OM wins that? Then it's January 9th or 10th before he could take over at LSU
Ole Miss- Again pending OM makes the playoff by beating us, Ole Miss will probably assuredly win the home playoff game and be playing until either NYE or NYD, and this is pending they wouldn't win a QF game and be playing until later. So Kiffin takes them all that way and then poof, he's gone. Now OM has to hire a new coach, help that coach build a staff, recruit their roster, and recruit the portal. And btw, the whole time Kiffin is basically tampering with his Ole Miss roster to come with him to Baton Rouge.
None of these options are feasible anymore. It's just the way the calendar works
Also what if he doesn't decide to take the LSU job, then LSU is left waiting til the middle of January and potentially misses out on coaches because they were waiting. Neither school can afford to wait.
Didn't kiffin get fired last minute by Saban at bama after LK took FAU and stayed on as OC for championship? Think he did for not having his head in the bama game
Another thought is do you want lane's around your team for a month to talk them into leaving with him?
Those that he wants he could be in Alaska and reach them.Quote:

Maybe I’m being over dramatic. After all, Coaching carousel is soap operas for men
OM should move on if lane does. Lane will be split between two schools when OM needs his full attention. I mean we've already saw this: Saban had to run him off at the last minute for not devoting the time needed for game prep.
I understand where you’re coming from, but truthfully I don’t think this carries on much longer. I really think this could possibly end any day now. This is all mostly posturing anyway.Quote:

They will meet but who knows what Lane reveals. He may continue the stone walling to get LSU to raise their offer which will then cause the plantation to raise their offer.........
The longer it goes on the more I think he's staying.
Same. If it does not come out this weekend, he will stay. Like the reverse SchlossnagleQuote:

You know I was thinking about this situation today and Kiffin turned down Auburn before because of his daughter. Well, that's the same daughter that's dating that LSU linebacker if I'm not mistaken. I know it's probably antecdotal but still.Quote:

Well, Todd.
Landry Kiffin spotted at a women?s LSU booster meeting yesterday. And per several people Ed Orgeron will be part of Kiffin?s staff.
Also per Chris Low if Kiffin leaves it could greatly affect OM?s future seeding in the playoffs. Yikes!
Already rumblings of EddyO joining Kiffin's staff in LSU. They're primed to be a recruiting juggernaut.Quote:
