You are so lost. You think Lane was going to kill his recruiting class at LSU just to be able to coach at Ole Miss for another month? No.No one wants to be in a Penn State situation. No coach is killing signing day at their future school.Quote:

They need Weis simply to call plays. Kiffin was vague and wouldn't give a credible response to anything because he knew all along he was leaving for the bayou
It’s kinda like this. You have a kid who tells you IF you don’t buy me a brand new car I’m gonna destroy your expensive SUV. So you ok I’m gonna go get whatever you want.Quote:

Typical Ole Miss tactic. Try to pin someone in so that they are forced to do Ole Miss's bidding. In this case, Carter tried to make it into an either you leave or you coach us in the playoff option in the hopes that it would make Kiffin stay. The crazy thing to me about it is Carter apparently was too cocky in thinking that there was no way that Kiffin would choose to leave over coaching in the playoffs that he obviously has no back up plan in case Kiffin chose to leave.Quote:

And I would be a bit nervous about Weis coming back to coach for the playoffs if I was Ole Miss. Very good chance that Weis is going to tamper with the players that Lane wants to bring to Baton Rouge.
The way this ended was completely predictable.Quote:

Him leaving was inevitable.
This is not what happened. Kiffin didn't threaten anyone until Ole Miss threatened him. Kiffin was under an 8 year contract and when he refused to just bow down to Ole Miss and do what they demanded him do (without any leverage at all) he told them to go screw themselves. If you are at your place of employment and under an 8 year contract and they come to you and demand you sign another extension on top of that or you will be fired immediately when you have much better job opportunities on the table what would you do? I know I would not respond kindly. You are painting Kiffin as the villain when the real problem was OM doing the poot and point. Those ungrateful bastards are the reason this happened. They want to win the perception war and when he took a job in the same conference it told everyone that Ole Miss was second tier, and they can't stand that. Everyone but them knows LSU is a tier or 2 above them in prestige, but in their minds that is their "real rival" (yea f*cking right) and it hurt their ego.Quote:

I do know that Kiffin is a spoiled brat and troll. This is what gets me about OM. They LOVED that sh*t when he was doing it the past 6 years and now they poked the bear and it ain't so funny any more. But I don't think Kiffin getting offers and telling his boss what the offers were is a bad thing. He was being up front. That's the most you can ask for. What did he get for being up front? They tried to box him in and force his hand and then painted him as a villain for not making the choice they wanted. He could have been a real ass and told them he didn't have any other offers and left them surprised on signing day if he had wanted to do that.Quote:

Carter knew almost at the same time because there can't be a hushed back room deal in place. It's a very very small AD fraternity and protocol requirements in place. Especially inside conference. It would have made it easier for Carter if Lane had lied to be honest because he already knew who was talking to Lane.Quote:

Kiffin did not think that they were going to react this way because they had kissed his ass so hard for the past 6 years. He underestimated how 2 faced those people are when you are no longer useful to them and it cost him.Quote:

Once it's past that first, Jimmy is Lane interested in us, everything after that gets out and known inside the conference circle. Then you add there were 2 schools after him in conference, nobody is keeping that hush hush. Once the schools AD's are involved, all the other AD's know.Quote:

If what Eli said about Kiffin not being in team meetings the week of the Egg Bowl is true says a lot. Yep, the team didn't need Kiffin to beat us so....
No doubt Carter was 50% of the problem, The problem was mainly Kiffin for dragging things out, if he would have told them he was leaving earlier, things might have been different.
He dragged it out because Ole Miss put him in a corner and told him once he made his decision they wanted him gone if it was not them. He was not deciding or torn. He was trying to use that time to talk them into letting him coach his team throughout the playoffs. The team he built. He is the reason they are where they are and he wanted to finish what HE built. They are letting the OC stay and he is not coaching them after the playoffs. Why is that? That guy has just as much incentive as Kiffin does to poach players.Quote:

Now not like Carter did but I'm gauging where he's at with his thinking. I'm not going to be left standing with no options when the music stops right after the egg bowl.Quote:

This is not me pushing his product, but I will say his picks are above 50 % on the free winners he has put out. I have never heard of him until this year.
Lane screwed OM. Plain and Simple. He tried to make sure they couldn't hire a good coach by waiting as long as he did. He knew last week that he was taking the LSU job but he decided that he was going to play hardball with OM because he wanted to keep the camera on him. He didn't give a 17 about "finishing the job with his team" or some of that other BS he said. Lane cares about Lane and Lane only. Not OM, not LSU, not his family, not the players, not Juice, etc.
And also, OM was in a lose lose situation. If they suspended him, then he would've just filed an injunction and coached anyways. And also probably gotten buyout money. No coach wants to take a job that they are actively recruiting their new team against the old coach, who's still in the building. I have it on very good authority that had Lane stepped down on Friday night, Jon Sumrall is probably announced Sunday as OM's new HC instead of Florida. I also know Golesh waited until he couldn't anymore because he wanted that job.
Well I'll be. Zavion Hardy is in the transfer portal.
Imagine that.Quote:

I dont think Auburn TODAY is any better of a job than Mississippi. They fund football as good or better. This is the Money Era. Old times are now actually forgotten
That's why I can see Golding getting dumped after the playoffs for a better coach.Quote:

Because coaches talk. They know that if you win at OM, the boosters stay the hell out of the way and just give. They know at Auburn and Florida you have to bend over backwards and invite boosters on your family beach trip to get 100K, whether you're 12-0 or 0-12Quote:

They're rolling with Pete. At least for 2026. I have that on 100% authority. Now, if they were completely blown out in the playoffs in Rd 1 maybe a change could happen. But barring something unforeseen happen, Pete is the HC. I tried to tell everyone from late September on that Pete had a lot of allies within their booster ranks and in the athletic dept and I thought there was a real world where he succeeded Kiffin.Quote:

This is what winning does though. Ole Miss could have had any of those top candidates if Kiffin had not screwed them so bad. We need Lebby to win......badly.
Usually this means we have a good year when stuff like this happens.Quote:

This is stupid. Sumrall was never going to be the coach at Ole Miss when Auburn or Florida were options. Golesh would've never been the coach at Ole Miss if Auburn was an option. They probably had a shot at Golesh until Auburn called.Quote:

The problem with Ole Miss is they are very vindictive and they'll run you down to the nth degree if you don't win enough. Kiffin is one example and yes he deserves everything he is getting. But they acted the same way towards Nutt and after he got fired.Quote:
