He must know of smoke around Lane somewhere that is bubbling up so what is the first thing you do? Divert the smoke and say you heard the rival HC, who all their fans and Neal said would be the hire if Lane left, was looking around for an exit.

The problem that he has with what we are doing this year is that it flies directly in the face of his comments in June. He said when we hired O Connor that we were waving the white flag in football. He said you cannot spend in that sport and be competitive in football. Did not say it was wrong to do it, but said it cannot be done. Well, we are doing it.
Seems to me Lane loves Ole Dixie and makes very good money. He might leave one day but I don't think he will next year. He has built a competitive program and dude can recruit!
