The other possibility is that he hasn't been offered the AU job, and he hasn't signed the extension because he is waiting on an AU offer.

We have a winner!
Per Not A Fan, Lane officially interviewed via Zoom yesterday, knocked it outta the park. He believes AU will officially offer Lane today. We might get a Pete Thamel tweet late this afternoon or early tonight.

Like I posted on another thread, Kiffin supposedly interviewed last week and was offered the job yesterday afternoon according to Chuck Rounsaville. Rumors were 6 year and $75 to 77 million deal but that is only rumors.

According to Chuck Rounsaville , Kiffin got an offer from Auburn yesterday afternoon. So we will see how it all plays out. Kiffin is treating this as a joke by trolling on social media, and took what some think were some jabs at the OM football program at his press conference on Monday and some of the OM people are upset with the way he is handling this situation.

I would look forward to playing OM in the future without Lane no matter who they get. He will also probably have a large # of OM players follow him, leaving the new coach to rebuild. After TX/OK join the SEC, doubt AU is a set opponent and we see less of AU led Lane. Hail State!

Normally, when coach extensions are announced it is after they are already signed, not when they are offered. I understand OM putting the word out about the offer so the AD can say "hey, we tried to lock him in" in the event Lane is leaving.
As I see it the only benefit to delay signing the extension, if he is staying, would be to garner some extra media attention at the presser when he makes the announcement to stay.
As soon as he signs it, he loses leverage.

He has all the leverage now. The leaver cant get any longer.

The question is does he sign it right before the game, to fire them up? If he doesn't then he's gone

I mean.....No. That's not true at all. If he had signed it already, then the negotiations end. There is no more leverage. He could gain a few more million by holding out another day or so and letting schools battle for him. Hell, there could be an offer come in at the last minute from another school. So he has leverage until he signs something. Then he loses it for at least a year.

I think he's waiting to see if a shoe drops with A&M.

any news is good news for a narcissist. Kiffin fits that profile to a Tee

75-77 for 6 years? Wow. OM cant offer $12.5 per year.
Maybe this latest round of "he's staying" is nothing more than OM trying to avoid an ugly scene Thursday night. Things got ugly in Knoxville the night he resigned at UT.

If he was staying he would sign the extension and the university would be shouting it from every outlet available. This has become a huge distraction and has damaged the OM football team. Why would you do that if you were planning on sticking around. My guess is that it?s an agreement in principle and Lane will sign after the Egg Bowl.
