Rumor Floating around....

[TNDawg35]

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.

No it wouldn't.

and yes he'd leave for Texas.

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.

Kiffin makes 3.9 million.

Kiffin doesn't seem to be a small town guy and UT will probably pay him 8 million or more if they want him.

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.

Nothing but agents working the boards to increase rumors and raise some competition

[SteelCurtain74]

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

[ZedFedder]

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?

1. Urban
2. Mullen - With Herman being there, the roster is already built for Mullen. Just offer him $10 mil per year. Make him say no
3. Pat Fitzgerald
4. Campbell
5. Cristobal?
6. Kffin

1&2.
Strickland will fight for Mullen and hopefully go after Kiffen when Mullen leaves. Kiffen would leave for Florida in a heart beat to get out of the West and to go somewhere he can recruit a lot easier and pay for a better staff, just as Mullen did. 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).

I am always amazed Stoops gets so little hot stove attention. He got a little buzz for FSU last year, not much.

Stoops is way too far behind offensively to compete with Oklahoma.

That would be like a IPhone 12 vs a rotary phone

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.

Honestly, if you are Texas and looking for notoriety, hiring Kiffin isn't the worst thing you could do. You go after Meyer first though. But Kiffin will get a call.

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 mansion
