They are hearing the same things I have heard for about the last 3-4 days. Florida boosters are growing more confident by the day that they have this thing done. The tide started to change in Oxford Sunday morning.Quote:

The one daughter will not be in Oxford much longer it seems, as far as education. The youngest daughter is a freshman at USC. The son, sounds like he might be landing at a really good Florida school that is capable of implementing the forward pass.Quote:

There was a call with Jimmy Sexton with some demands Lane had and Hugh Hathcock and the Florida brass met all of them. Salary is north of 15 per from what I was told and that has been basically verified by some OM people. I have said all week, and continue to kind of hear it, it is going to be REALLY TESTY Saturday in Oxford. It is not going to be a comfortable atmosphere. I actually think Kiffin will bury Florida Saturday night. I actually think that benefits him more.Quote:

People on the Florida boards are saying Lane will officially be named Monday.Quote:

I just can't see that happening when his team in all likelihood is going to the playoffs...Quote:

If Lane is taking the Florida job he isn?t waiting until after the playoffs (and I am sure Florida isn?t going to wait until January to name him head coach). If he becomes the next head coach his primary and sole concern is the Florida football program not OM. At that point OM has to fend for themselves with Golding as interim.
I think Joe Judge would actually be the interim so they could keep the structure the same. I actually think Joe would have a decent shot at the full time job too. I still think their list is:Quote:

If Lane leaves before the playoffs I foresee some business decisions being made by the players.Quote:

Jesus, that would be hilarious/amazing.Quote:

I truly hope I am an idiot and horribly wrong.......but I have a very bad feeling .....Coach Lebby....GO DOGS.....IN CLOSING THERE IS NO WAY he quits before the playoffs.......makes absolutely NO SENSE...
Now I will admit OM is a solid team with some lucky breaks, but from watching Big 10 football the past decade and seeing Ohio State play this year, ain?t no way in hell does OM beat themQuote:
