Today Lane is in a holding pattern 250 over Orlando wondering if he will be in Atlanta or Miami this New Years.

He?s been hitting the road with some staffers doing visits this week.
A couple guys I know on twitter who are big OM alums have taken pics with him while he?s been on the road.
Did they ask him when is he gonna sign that extension?Quote:

If Miami fires Diaz, they will come get him.Quote:

Then they will announce a big new contract for him which he will immediately sign.
That's why most coaches have a good agent.Quote:

That's a BS account.Quote:

YupQuote:

They'll put up with ANYTHING to feel like they matter.
Maybe some find him comical and consider him a national treasure.Quote:

On Miami 247 site, they layout a really informative article on the crumbs leading to Cristobal being the Miami coach. After his game tonight, he has a decision. But Miami is using wealthy boosters that went to the same high school as Cristobal to convince him to return.
Also David Johnson last night posted Lane is signing contract soon. So actually that probably means, Lane waits to hear Cristobal's decision and hears Oregon say he is not a choice, and then signs the contract this weekend as if he planned it for the recruiting weekend.
But it is still strange that Kiffin does not have a HS QB committed.
I won't be. He ain't that greatQuote:

Optimum exposure if contract extension announced Saturday so it can be scrolled ad nauseum at the.bottom of all the tv championship games. The guy knows media as good as any coach in the nation.
