I don't buy the kids and family BS line about him staying. He hasn't signed the extension yet. If he was all in with his kids that ink would have been dried long ago.

No sane adult will let kids get in the way of their career. After all those kids will be gone one day living on their own. How many times did we here how much Megan loved Starkville when Dan's name came up?

This. Plus as much as I love Mississippi, most people spend their lives trying to get out. Lane has lived in California, Florida, etc.....
You think he loves Mississippi??? Nah

I don't think Lanning is leaving after a year either but I just can't see OU taking Lane over Heupel, especially this cycle.

Maybe he is and why they got the deal extended. there are only a handfull of jobs that can pay him more than he will be making at Mississippi

Lane is uncomfortable in his own skin and simply only thinks of himself. The only people he talks to regular are his kids and his staff and the lady friend. He'll be the same way regardless of where he is coaching.

Would Heupel leave Tennessee for Oklahoma? I know that's his alma mater but he's got something really good going at Tennessee.

Why wouldn't he? They will be SEC soon and that gives him a little time to get them back in the right direction. It's still a better job than Tenn. He would have taken it last year but they decided on Brent.

I agree. He's all about the next big splash. Have no doubt that he likes the attention he's getting from all this and if he does happen to stay..... he's getting a pay raise for winning 8 games on a cupcake schedule with his biggest win being Kentucky. He and his agent are playing this to the end and he aint stupid.

Also got to remember Lame wants the Bammer job after Saban and going to Auburn removes that possibility for him

Not many sane people would rather live in Oklahoma vs Tennessee. It s a much easier coaching job but not for long.

There is negative zero chance that Alabama ever hires Lane Kiffin as it's head coach. If Auburn wants Lane they will get him.

I think he would be just fine moving back to his college and where he spent 8 years as a coach.

Oh I completely understand that. But you made it sound like Oklahoma is a better job. I might agree at the moment, but they are moving to the SEC so that negates that situation.

I think he is hoping Cristobal continues to fail at Miami. They probably give him 3 years, but Lane wants that Miami job. I also hear he really wants the A&M job and that job may be open after next year if Jimbo lays another egg.

Well I do think it's a better job too. I'm not sure the move to the SEC will change that either. It would take a significant decade long downturn to drop their level of prestige to Tenn level. Lol. It's a better job and will be considered that for a while. The move, if they adapt, could raise their level up some more too.

In what way? National titles? No. CFP appearances? No. All time wins? No. Money? No. National prestige? No

I'm not saying the gap is like us vs Bama or anything but it's a National blue blood more so than Tenn

All I got is that Tennessee is 100x nicer place to live and Tennessee will be whipping Oklahoma's ass when they get in the SEC.
I can't argue with everything else you posted though. Lol

This thread got off topic!!!! Lane still hasn't signed a contract.

Lol true!! I do think he's waiting on either all of the dominoes to fall or the IHL is again pushing back on the contract, like they have done in the past when UM has tried this.

OU claims 7 titles- Tenn 6

Tenn won it in 1998 and OU in 2000

They are the same program with each having 1 title the last 25 years

He has matured and his kids are having an influence on him now. It would have been easy to take the huge contract from Auburn and chase the title. It's what he craves. But he didnt. He listened to his kids that he loves who are happy being with him around Grenada Without The Lake. While I'm bothered why the kids gravitate toward him instead of Layla- that raises many questions- but they do.

Kiffin is going to be Mississippi's Dan Mullen

I would bet a lot of money that he is not

OU has 7 legit titles AP / BCS. Tenn has 2

OU has several more they could claim but don't since the were not major polls although recognized. I think it's another 10 but again they were not AP or UPI

National titles in the old days don't matter. Colorado and BYU have those. TN and OK both have 1 national title in the modern era.

Have you seen Oklahoma's facilities? Look, again it's not like this huge gap but nationally is has more prestige in football. It just does. Even in modern times they have been a Top 10 team many times more than Tenn. When both are at their peak they can win big but Oklahoma has a better pipeline to recruits to be more consistent and that's been proven over the last 25 years. When they get to the SEC we will see how they adapt and if it continues.

All that has been proven over the past 25 years is that OK had Stoops and Riley, two A list coaches while TN hired dumpster fire after dumpster fire.

Can certainly be argued OK is a better job, and can be argued TN is. They are on the same second tier level.

I can see that. You can say that about a lot of schools too though. After Bama and OSU I have another mix of schools like OU then Tenn is in the next tier. Just hard to put Tenn that high for me when you have 4 other SEC schools better programs over the last 2 decades.

Oklahoma is literally a blue blood and UTk is new old money.

OU is in the group with Bama, ND, USC, Texsa, anOSU, Michigan. They are top 3 blue blood in the SEC. Georgia, Tenn, Florida, Auburn, LSU are historically a notch lower.

Now... this does not mean that OU will be great in the SEC. They got tough sledding ahead to stop themselves from being an Auburn type. But it's silly to act like they aren't one of the Blue Blood 7. ND hasn't won since 1988 and no one is saying they ain't.

Makes you wonder. Maybe Sexton whispered in his ear to wait a year.

I know Dan did some goofy stuff late in the season but Lane has him beat with this. If I'm an ole miss fan I'm not happy b/c this shit show comes back around next November.

I read somewhere that they were doing it out of their private foundation, so it did not have to follow the law.
