OM beat writers.
That presser today sounded like a bunch of guys asking a girl why she?s breaking up with them.
Everyone wants to be a beast...until its time to do what beasts do.

Locked On Ole Miss said he looked he has already checked out and doesn't want to be there. They also said they don't like what they are hearing from the locker room.
He is standing there talking about the "chapters of his life". That tells me the OM chapter is over and the LSU chapter is beginning Saturday.

I'm sure the locker room talk isn't healthy. That's a good thing!
I watched a clip of Lane talking about how players of today don't worry about their coaches leaving like they use to. Basically said players shops all year for the most money and they ain't worried about loyalty anymore. And that's the truth. But to my point, I decided to read some comments. Alot of the comments are about how upset the players are.. especially the ones who ain't good enough to shop every year. So hopefully that locker room, staff, and university is full of animosity right now. We need every bit of help we can get for the EB.

Does LSU really have the money to pay Kiffin that much with all the Kelly drama going on now? I just really am thinking this is all a smoke screen

You think lsu is shutting down their coaching search and publicly releasing the kiffin contract offer for a smokescreen? A smokescreen for what?

Everything about it smells fishy.

Nothing fishy. He's gone, but he's gonna coach Friday. He's done at OM.

I have a very close family friend married into one of the biggest LSU money families - they said it?s all but made official. They did say until it?s official anything could happen but ALL the money issues at LSU have been resolved and the whole lot of them are unified for Kiffen.

Yes, but the price of a Caniac will be $45.

Lane is a weird cat. Nothing will surprise me. He doesn't care about OM, LSU, Oxford, etc., he cares about Lane. He loves attention and is eating all this up, wouldn't surprise me if he tries to stretch it out further.

Yes they do. Todd Graves is the most prominent booster they have but they have plenty more. Doctors, lawyers, prominent oil men, etc.

Not really. Kiffin is doing them a solid by coaching in the Egg Bowl and staying on long enough to potentially keep their playoff ranking high.

Kiffin has had a 13.2M/yr deal sitting on his desk to sign for a month

He's pissed in the pool. There's no going back. No major program will take him serious if he stays.

They don't care how many kids they have to kill. Locked On LSU said they are willing to go to $17 mil/year if necessary.

This opportunity only comes once in a blue moon.

Locked On LSU said the LSU team put together a presentation so impressive that it blew Kiffin's and Sexton's socks off. LSU had their ducks in row and had them whistling the Star Spangled Banner while tap dancing.

A bottle of water in Death Valley will be $25.

Lane wants to coach OM into the playoffs and take the LSU job being the head coach at both at the same time. It's not going to work like that. He wants OM to tell him to go so he's not the bad guy but they aren't. LSU is not going to let him coach into the playoffs because he needs to be recruiting and getting his staff together.
And there are some people (LSU) that think Lane isn't going to make to the Egg Bowl. He might make the move on Thanksgiving day.

Here's the difference between MSU and LSU. LSU had no president and then they had the fool governor running his mouth about Sexton. LSU hires a president and gets the AD thing situated about a week later.
MSU would have drug their feet and made excuses about why we had to drag out the president and AD search and so all we could really do was name Coleman Hutzler the head coach. But don't worry! He'll keep the recruiting class together and the boosters friends who haven't been a head coach past high school in Mississippi will be there to help him out! It'll work out!**************************

If he takes the LSU job, and I'm not convinced he will, this will get interesting. I'm assuming OM will promote Golding and tell him to keep everything as it (as much as possible).

He's staying at Ole Mis imo. Players are flat out asking him what his plans are and Kiffin doesn't appear to be a very good liar. He's 2 wins away from being the all time winningest coach there. His own legacy, his own path, his own way, he's a hotty toddy man now with a pay raise.

Kiffin announces he’s staying in his pregame speech to his players and they run out on the field with their feet not even touching the ground. Win the game going away and all the OM faithful are all smiles after the game. Only to hear the next day announcement that he is indeed headed to LSU. Burp….
