May be rumored but seems to be something going on at Oklahoma, could he really be interested in the Lsu job?
I like it. Start a good rivalry between LSU and Oklahoma before Oklahoma even joins the sec
I think Mike Detillier probably had the best point I have heard on this. Lincoln right now is the big dog recruiter in the Big 12. When he comes to the SEC he will be at best the 5th or 6th best. Come to LSU and you will be the 2nd or 3rd best. I think he realizes that it comes to down to talent accumulation. I still think it ends up being Dave Arranda.
I think it may just come down to money.
Im hearing LSU will pay him $13 million???? of course he's coming if he gets a 10 year deal like jimbo he has 130 million guaranteed
I guess Lane has his eye on Miami/Florida jobs. He was a fan favorite up till a week or two ago. Jimbo looks locked in at A&M. Mel Tucker looks locked in at MSU North.
Gonna be completely unbiased. If I was him , since Ole Miss worships him. Id make them break the bank for me and tell them 9 million per year or I'm leaving and they'd do it.
Could Miami come even close to that number? I know Florida could though but I just don't see him taking Miami .
I 100% seeing him taking Florida though
If Scott Striklin called him after mullen loses to Missouri , kiffin wouldn't coach the dang egg bowl
Florida is a better job, more resources. Miami although a private school has some very wealthy donors/alums who can write a check. Although their funds dried up when booster fraudster Evan Shapiro was imprisoned.
Kiffin could coach at OM the rest of his life if he wanted. He'd have them perennial top ten. He'd never make the playoffs though.
I'm not ruling out Miami b/c the talent in Florida is insane but he'd for damn sure take the Florida job. And Dan losing to Mizzou this Saturday is entirely possible.
Oklahoma will be a perennial 8-4, 9-3 team in this league - you don't want to be the HC that has to take that blame.
Also, Lincoln Riley may be the most overrated coach in the country. And that is about to get exposed. Think about it - he out talents every team he plays in the regular season and they struggle more often than they should.
I think the only reason Miami is a threat is because Kiffin likes south florida. They're not going to outpay Ole Miss at the end of the day. They might sweeten the pot with a longer deal. If they offer $5M a year for 8 years, that's hard for Ole Miss to match with a 4 year deal. I'm just not sure Miami wants to make that kind of commitment.
How did a thread about Lincoln Riley turn into another thread about Lane Kiffin
