Welcome to the bidding war!
My money is on the people that love football more than children.
Holy Shit!
The silly season is in full swing now.
Get your popcorn ready!
Kiffin will get a raise into the 12 mill per year range and stay put. LUS will shoot for the stars and fumble again it in their DNA.
Kiffin will end up at LSU winning multiple national championships.
College football is no longer, its all professional now days.
I think the question is if om and family can pony up money and pressure (GUILT).....to keep LK....DO THEY have enough for NIL AND assistants....I guess we can see another tobacco/abestos lawsuit on the way.....
I think he leaves. You dont turn down Fla AND LSU to stay in Oxford, MsQuote:

I said a week ago if Lsu comes available he will go. I shall see now.Quote:

If Kiffin wants to win a national championship this is the time to leave Ole Miss. If he stays then I guess he truly is comfortable being with his family in Oxford and being a local god because deep down he knows he's not winning a championship there.
I think he's in Baton Rouge next year. And when he wins a national championship Ole Miss fans will claim partial ownership.
Why does everyone think Lane wants the LSU job? It doesn't seem like a fit to me. Not more than UF at least
I would think most coaches would want the lsu job. Les miles and ed O won natties there. What other place have idiots like that won big?Quote:

LSU has a state with very talented athletes where 95% of them want to play in Baton Rouge. Add to that they can recruit nationally. A good coach can compete for a title every year in that job and win a title every 3-4 years. Bama is only job better in the country than LSU. Georgia is 3rd. Ohio St 4th.
I would think lsu and Ohio st are 1-2. Rank em how you want... either are capable of winning big with just a decent coachQuote:

If LK wins out and then wins a playoff game, why would he leave? He'd be right on the cusp of a NC and their alumni would write bigger checks for his team. You all say it's just NIL now and not recruiting. Now if he doesn't think he can make it all the way then, yeah, of course he bolts.
At some point, the cost of retaining him and paying for these teams will catch up to a small school like OM. LSU or Florida just have so much more of a pool to get money from. Not saying he will leave, but if the dream is to be known as a great, you gotta get to a blue blood. Lane may not give a crap thoughQuote:

Because he get talent easier and cheaper at Fla and LSUQuote:

You have a lot to learn about the Bammers. Outside of the Tx schools they can buy us and half the league over. They have one family, all UA graduates that just one of the family members could match our entire football spending yearly and not really even feel it.Quote:

You are not wrong about the state but lack the knowledge of who these individuals are which isn?t surprising as they aren?t a household name in many places. I happen to have worked for this family in my career, they do things in the billions. And this is real money, privately held with world wide operations. When asked the can and will fund anything that is needed. The crazy thing is there are more than just one family that helps them carry the load like them. Just one more point, they move very slowly, very carefully and deliberately.Quote:
