Coaching Rumors Mega-Thread

[Tater]

Already rumblings of EddyO joining Kiffin's staff in LSU. They're primed to be a recruiting juggernaut.

Frank Wilson to stay on too. 30 Million + Collective (~15 Million) per year in NIL.

That's just what I'm hearing. I'm not betting my life on any of it yet. I just won't believe that troll is gone until he's gone.

No one knows what Lane is going to do. Even their beat writers, and Chase Parham is very plugged in to what is going on at OM, don't have a clue what he is going to do. I think deep down they believe Kiffin is gone and probably want to report that but info is going 900 different directions so they don't feel comfortable going too far down one path.

I've said since Monday morning, and a lot of people have come around to this thinking now on their side, that Kiffin wants to force Keith Carter to tell him he has to leave. He wants to be the "victim" in all this. He keeps trying to control the narrative and act like nothing is wrong. He wants Keith to tell him he either has to sign the extension or move on to LSU. He's not going to let him coach them in the playoffs with this looming and that's what Lane wants to do.


EDITED TO ADD: I'm now about 50/50 he coaches the Egg Bowl. I've been like 99% the whole time. Now Keith and Lane could come out of this meeting like a Presidential Candidate and his VP pick at a convention but I just am not seeing that. Lane wants the best of both worlds. He wants to coach OM in the playoffs but he also wants to coach in Baton Rouge next year. I really think regardless of what happens, Lane has irreparably harmed his reputation. He has torpedoed every bit of goodwill he got from that ESPN Doc. It's actually incredible.

Ole Miss mods reported that OM coaches were supposed to be on the road recruiting today and were told to stay. Apparently they are also practicing today and the players are none too happy.

This is getting absolutely incredible. This will end up being messier than leaving Tennessee for USC BY A MILE. OM fans are fed up. I think at this point, public perception in and around that program has shifted on Lane. I think they're all done with him.

Somebody is going to be upset. Ole Miss is 85% confident that he is staying. LSU is 85% confident and Florida is 85% confident. Yikes

[Coach34]

I'm hearing Fla is out of it. They wouldnt agree to about 20% of things he wanted. Now that could change obviously- but the momentum seems to be Mississippi vs LSU

I don't get the feeling OM is 85% confident he is staying. I think that's one guy. LSU has had a quiet confidence about them the whole time. Florida is a crap show and a half.

I will say this one more time. Lane is gone. It makes no sense to stay.

There will never be another time where so many top jobs are open while he is at his all time high in worth/value. If he wants a top job, it's now. If not. He will be in the Grove for another 3 to 6 years..... or out of the SEC.

I'll say this, I think he's already done irreparable harm to his image and standing in Oxford, even if he stays. I don't think they want to do this every year, and they'll have to. Hell, they may not be done doing it this year. There's rumors that Bama and Texas could open and then there's the NFL. There's a world where he turns down LSU, loses to us, misses the playoffs, and then just takes an NFL job.

However, I think you're right. There's too many national guys that are all over this that are all but saying he's taking LSU. Zenitz even had the report about reuniting with O last night and had the wording if/when Lane takes the LSU job. National guys don't word stuff like that unless they have it on damn good authority.

This is spot on. National guys are not going to put it out there to get slapped in the face a few days later. They have someone they trust giving them info.

That would be one Jimmy Sexton

[Dawgology]

Has anyone considered he may be waiting for the Vandy job to open up?? ***

[basedog]

Well no so fast my friends. Lots going on from what i was told this morning. Seems Kiffin and Sexton are only ones who know.

[AlSwearengen]

Kiffin just tweeted a "recruiting" post on twitter soliciting the top safeties in the SEC that would indicate he is staying put. Who knows.

Even NewsWeek is reporting Kiffin basically gone. I will take my chances and bet that he is leaving

Too much smoke now. That tweet means zilch.

[msstate7]

I think it's gonna be Florida

[LC Dawg]

I think it's gonna be Florida

That's what I think too.
And LSU is getting Kiffin more money from Florida.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I think it's gonna be Florida

If it is Florida then they pulled a godfather offer out of nowhere.

[Santiago]

Man , if he leaves ole miss will have to train a new puppy for the new coach.

[TrapGame]

Florida is out of it. That?s why they wanted to interview Sumrall. But Sexton told him to wait for OM to open.

There?s some talk that Lincoln Riley may be interested in the Florida job.
