 Yeah.  That?s the part I don?t get if he indeed leaked this. All seems to childish for the positions they?re in.

 Again- Cohen isn't going to tell Lane that he leaked this if it even was him start with.
 
 Very simple:
 
 Lane:  "Hey John- how did me taking the Auburn job get leaked out?
 
 Cohen:  "Hell if I know"
 
 THE END

 This literally happened to us every year Dan Mullen was our coach except for maybe 2016 and 2009.
 
 It got the point for me where I didn't believe the Florida and Tennessee rumors for awhile because rumors like that popped up every year and never ended up being true.

 Pretty bizarre way to handle this rumor.  You NEVER saw Dan or anyone else act like that.

 I agree on all points.  However, if I'm Auburn it's good to make sure that everyone knows who the coach is just in case Cadillac pulls the upset of the century.   I don't expect that to happen or anything like that.  But Cohen did get into a bit of a hairy deal a little but with Gary Henderson when he took us to Omaha.   Weird things can happen in sports.
 
 
 
 
 100%
 
 Auburn knows that if somehow Cadillac pulls off the upset of the year , a certain segment of the Auburn Family will riot if they do not hire Caddy.
 
 Leak the kiffin hire
 
 Demoralize the players sort of that wanted caddy to be the head coach
 
 This is all going to plan.

 So?  He's not a candidate anyway.
 
 
 
 It?s Either
 
 1. Someone from Auburn that wants to get it out there to make the fans at ole miss turn on kiffin and make sure auburn knows the next coach in case caddy pulls off the unthinkable
 
 Or
 
 2. A pissed off Ole Miss person who wants to ruin lane?s image.

							Maybe it was used as a “Let’s Rally around Caddy” kind of thing. I mean they know he isn’t getting it cause they already introduced Kiffen, Bama is beatable this year, so let’s give them some motivation to send Caddy off in the sunlight. 
 
 I can kinda see the point. If Friday comes and goes tho and Kiffen is still at Oxford, well then all of this was nothing but a distraction from the get go…

 So you're saying the AD at (insert school here) trying to hire Mullen away, leaked to the media that he/she was hiring Mullen?
 
 I always assumed it was Mullen's agent leaking Mullen here and there to drive up negotiations.
