Lame Kitten whispers to A&M start growing louder

[Really Clark?]

RB is saying we have definite interest from two sitting P5 coaches. The speculation is one of them is K State's Kleiman.

I haven't heard Klieman as having interest

[TrapGame]

I haven't heard Klieman as having interest

Then Rosebowl has better sources. ****

[confucius say]

Aggie sites mention Arizona coach, Washington coach, and ....Ryan Day, as three coaches of interest. Lane is way way down their list.

Ryan day. Haha.
I could see Fisch landing there.

[Really Clark?]

Then Rosebowl has better sources. ****

Ha. Probably so

[Coursesuper]

Rosey knows exactly dick. Why does anyone give anything he prints the time of day?

[TrapGame]

That's why I finished with these ****.

Nobody knows dick.

[CaptainObvious]

Nobody knows dick.

I know who it is but I have been sworn to secrecy until the day it is announced.

[Catfish]

I know who it is but I have been sworn to secrecy until the day it is announced.

Bert leaking the name?

[Homedawg]

I wasn't expecting an announcement, but was more assuming a letter of understanding. Do you think that is also pushed out as well?

Understandings are worthless. Ask Tenn and Dan.

[Homedawg]

Rosey knows exactly dick. Why does anyone give anything he prints the time of day?

But he wil tell you he knew when it was over. And there are people that will have known. But it won't be him. Trust me

[Homedawg]

You might. Not calling you a liar but I'm right w a top 5 booster and he doesn't know who it is ...

[KOdawg1]

Exactly. The dude leaves himself an out with everything he says.

"Coach X has shown interest in being the next coach, but here are 3 reasons why it probably won't happen, but never say never because it might."

That's how he presents nearly everything

[lastmajordog]

"But.... but..... but..... we have the Grove!" says every UM homer!

And EVERY TV ANNOUNCER......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jarius]

Why are we scared of Lane Kiffin?

If we take care of business we will OWN his ass.

He's already pissed a lot of people within that program off.

He’s about to win 10 games for the 3rd time in 4 years. If I have to explain further why that’s not good for Mississippi State then I don’t know what to say other than you’re just not ever going to get it.

[Pancho]

I expect A&M to look harder at Kitten if Chadwell chooses to stay at Liberty.

[Johnson85]

You might. Not calling you a liar but I'm right w a top 5 booster and he doesn't know who it is ...

I would hope by now it is known which boosters can be trusted and which can't. I mean, if you need the money from a booster, you kind of have to fill him in, even if you don't trust him to not repeat what he hears, but you'd hope we have enough trustworthy ones with enough money that we don't have to involve ones that really want to show off what we know. And you'd think most people with enough money to be involved in signing off on buyouts and new commitments wouldn't be worried about showing off that they're in the know, but obviously that's not 100% true at any school.

[Johnson85]

Isn't he making something like $9M at OM? I wonder what A&M will have to come up with for him to leave Oxford.

It's going to be expensive, but they can do a lot just by extending his deal. Lane has a deal now that extends beyond 4 years, and it should be enforceable, but there is always the possibility they try to renege on it and claim it was void under Mississippi law. If A&M goes $1M more a year and gives him an 8 year deal, that's going to be a pretty significant difference.

But to make it compelling to leave financially, they are going to have to go right back to Jimbo territory, which they may not want to do after just getting burned.

It completely legal. Just not the part the state is paying. We have a coach w the same type of contract

[DawgFromOxford]

And, there is no state income tax in Texas. That can be somewhat substantial when talking about those kind of salaries.

If you go apples to apples, in Mississippi he's making 9 million and paying a 5% state income tax, so he's paying $450,000 to the state of Mississippi. By moving to Texas he essentially get's a 5% pay raise by getting to keep that $450,000.

You have to adjust for property taxes, sales taxes and cost of living in Texas as well. That's not a $450,000 raise after adjustments.
