There is a rumor floating around right now that Texas is firing Herman and Kiffen is target #1. I know he jumped ship at TN after one year, but would he do it again and leave Ole Miss after 1 yr? Hell I would in a heart beat.
I mean hell?s it?s Texas for god sakes...
It would be a great hire if Texas could pull it off. I don't know if he wants that type of pressure. If he fails there his career would be over.
Not sure Lane has done enough yet to get a job that big again. I mean, Ole Miss is going to be a sub-.500 team this year. And he's not exactly tearing it up on the recruiting trail. I just don't see it, but would love for it to happen.
Dude's making close to 4-5 mil a year, he's older and I would assume wiser, fan base loves him, no pressure yet... no way he jumps ship this soon. Why would he?? Unless he believes he could win a bunch of Natties. But even then, he has time.
Also, Urban Meyer will be their #1 target. Not sure he takes it, but they're going to make him say no.
This is an ole miss troll. No way midden is the first choice. None.
No it wouldn't.Quote:

The funny thing is that Tom Herman's agent was Urban's former agent. Urban's agent, Trace Armstrong, dropped Urban when the Zach Smith problems began. Sexton is Kiffin's agent. At the very least Sexton will leverage the Texas job to get a raise out of Ole Miss.
If I was Texas, I would get Freeze instead
I’d love for him to leave, but they are going after Urban first. I could see him getting it if they miss on their first few targets.
Who do they go after?Quote:

3. Pat Fitzgerald
4. Campbell
5. Cristobal?
6. Kffin
I can't imagine Lane Kiffin being that high on Texas's list.
Urban Meyer, Hugh Freeze, Bob Stoops, Matt Campbell all seem like obvious targets. And Texas is made of money, so you'd think they'd place calls to Dan Mullen or even Dabo Swinney before reaching out to Kiffin.
I could see them going after Mullen for sure, but Freeze is a no go. No shot Texas would take that riskQuote:

Texas used to be a well run program. NOW, they might just be that stupid. The evidence is against them recently.
Interesting Leach didn't make your list.Quote:

I just don't think Strickland would make that gamble.
I would go after Mark Stoops. He has done a lot with a little at UK and he is only 53. His brothers status as an OU legend may preclude that (or make it juicier, possibly).Quote:

Rumor is Fitzgerald is going to be one of the leading candidates for the Jets. And there's no way Mullen leaves. He's got a chance to own the East and compete for titles forever if he continues to recruit. Florida is a better job right now.Quote:

Mullen would be an upgrade over the current Cowboys staff.
Stoops is way too far behind offensively to compete with Oklahoma.Quote:

Texas only has to compete with Oklahoma & the championship game is easier to win than facing the West. Plus, Megan may be cut out for Austin & a Lake Travis Hill Country mansionQuote:

No shot Tom Allen would leave Indiana for Ole MissQuote:
