Coaching Rumors Mega-Thread

A funny comment on ole miss board- a poster says if Lane leaves they might have more NIL booster money because several stopped because they don't like Lane. They are already spinning it.
I hope he goes to FL, and then trolls ole miss on twitter and see if they think it is still cute and funny.

Has anything thought about their replacement. The way few times Kidfen was “leaving” it was they were hiring Lebby cause they are practically the same and Lebby made Corral and half of Dart… Now it’s the other way around…

[Mjoelner34]

Since Kiffin is all about splash, has a coach ever switched teams at halftime? LOL

[Bothrops]

The transfer portal is going to be gutted.

[BigDawg81]

I’m betting that they will promote Golding

[Todd4State]

There was a call with Jimmy Sexton with some demands Lane had and Hugh Hathcock and the Florida brass met all of them. Salary is north of 15 per from what I was told and that has been basically verified by some OM people. I have said all week, and continue to kind of hear it, it is going to be REALLY TESTY Saturday in Oxford. It is not going to be a comfortable atmosphere. I actually think Kiffin will bury Florida Saturday night. I actually think that benefits him more.

Honestly, I don't know if all of this is true or not- I believe you by the way- but I will say that Kiffin leaving his team with one game left in the regular season definitely sounds like something he would do.

I don't know. Who is the sleaziest coach that they could hire? Durkin? He does have ties to Ole Miss and Kiffin and is looking for a head coaching job.

I figure Sumrall will take the Auburn job if I had to guess. They're probably not going to hire Judge because he graduated from MSU. And I would be surprised if they just promote Golding. That's too similar to what we did with Arnett. That will probably scare them out of doing that. I could see them maybe promoting Charlie Weis, Jr.

I will say this- it's going to be really hard for them to replace Kiffin. Impossible actually. If he leaves.

And you know what they say about how in coaching you don't want to be the guy after "the guy". That along with the coaching job market this offseason could make it difficult to hire someone.

The one daughter will not be in Oxford much longer it seems, as far as education. The youngest daughter is a freshman at USC. The son, sounds like he might be landing at a really good Florida school that is capable of implementing the forward pass.

Yeah. His daughter at Ole Miss has to be at least a junior at least and I think she is actually older than that. Plus she is dating a LB from LSU so the dynamic is very different for her compared to 2022.

And as far as his son, he could potentially play at IMG and Lane could watch him play pretty easily.

Pete dam sure ain't going to gainesville with Lane. Petes wife has decided that for all of em.

[Pancho]

I'm hearing Judge might be interim if Lane bolts. Gotta see if he signs the documents Carter has for him to be the highest paid HC in the country and stay in oxford a few more years.

[ZedFedder]

This one truly feels 50/50

[Pancho]

It is all 100% on Lane. big decision for the boy for sure. he will be told to sign or go onto florida and then he would not be in starkville the day after thanksgiving.

Would be quite fortuitous to catch them with an interim and a big chunk of the team halfway out the door...

Talk about the dream scenario to **** OM fans, lol.

[DawgFromOxford]

I can see Lane leaving for Florida. I would be SHOCKED if he leaves OM high and dry in the playoffs. Don?t see that happening at all. Only way he bolts to FL early is if they miss the playoffs

[Pancho]

Carter will do his best to have Lane sign and make it public sometime next week. They are tiring of his ploy currently up there.

[Todd4State]

I wonder why she doesn't want to go there?

It may be moot because I could see Golding up for some G5 head coaching jobs and some other P4 DC jobs with all of the traffic anyway.

Because she's an acct professor at OM, got her law degree from OM, her family lives in Cleveland, and this is the closest they have been to them since Pete was at Delta St.

She's made it very clear, he can go wherever he wants but she is staying in Oxford. And if he wants to stay married, he will stay in Oxford.

I see. Man, it's hard when you are a coach. When you marry into that profession you know moving around is part of it.

I dont see any way they would put Lame on the road to Gainesville before the EB or even before the playoff. It's a very special season for them at this point and you dont just throw it away because your HC may leave. If Fla really wants him and truly believes he is the guy? They will wait for him. Just as Mullen did with Fla when he took our job- there are things he can be doing to get things going at Fla while he is still coaching Mississippi and getting them ready for playoff match-ups. Right now you are just hearing a bunch of what-ifs and butthurt comments from people

I agree; he could make a secret commit to Fl but only after OM season ends will it be announced. But in today's world anything can happen.
