Coaching Rumors Mega-Thread

[StarkVegasSteve]

Now some are saying Lane mite change his mind and stay.

Yea that's emanating from Facebook. And we know nothing posted on Facebook is fake. There's ZERO truth to it.


I've said it since LSU became really involved: Lane wants to coach LSU but he wants to coach OM in the playoff. He wants all eyes on Lane for as long as possible. He wants OM to tell him he can't coach them in the playoffs without signing an extension so he can play the "victim" at his introductory press conference.

So while staying may technically be true. It's because he wants to stay to coach the playoffs and then leave. OM is not going to let him do that.

I spoke to a realtor and a home inspector who say there might be some more assistant cash being added to the pool.

You're not wrong. OM will go as high as they need to go and give him all the money in the world, but he's known that for over a month. Nothing has changed. OM didn't throw out some godfather offer to keep him and that made him reconsider.

That goes against every college football podcast I have watched so far today. It sure as hell was not mentioned on the Locked On OM cast. They think he is 100% gone.

I see more people with the consensus that he may actually leave before the Egg Bowl than stay. There?s a few LSU insider types saying he may leave by Thursday because Keith Carter is pushing for a resolution now. Oxford is a tinder box ready to ignite.

Who is "some"??

individuals whom we have spoken to today. weird shit

Whatever that other board, they are out of touch. Arkansas matched what Franklin wanted plus more to try and land him. In the end, Franklin saw the SEC as the hardest path. Walmart heirs are not their only source. Jone, JB Hunt, Tyson and the Walmart Heirs. the former CEO of Walmart is already pushing it. Doug McMillon retires in 2026 and will become involved. As the CEO, Walmart has expanded its corporate sponsorships with the University of Arkansas's athletic programs.

I don?t think Arkansas is last but probably 14/16 currently. There is a push to try getting closer to around 8th in the SEC to be more competitive with Ole Miss but we?ve been told before that the money would be coming and it doesn?t always pan out. Definitely think there will be some level of investment even if it?s not as much as fans would like or expect.

Someone should put a table and chair on the sideline and put OM, LSU and FL hats on the table with a banner that says "Signing Announcement Immediately Following the Game"

So Mama Kiffin toured U High Lab where most of the LSU coaches send their kids, but Catholic is a great program and so is Dunham. Dunham produced Stingly and now the #1 QB recruit for ?27. U High produces big stats for QB?s as well. Lamar Brown is there now, and Dylan Moses (Bama) went there. They put 5-7 kids in high D1 every year. I posted this bc of Kiffin?s son, and people asking what high schools could put him into an instant D1 opportunity in the BR area. I think he takes the LSU job.

[Pancho]

word. sounds plausible

[Turfdawg67]

I don't know if it helped, but it definitely pissed off Ole Miss fans, but back in 1998 we went to the EB and shouted "AU-burn, AU-burn" all 4th quarter when Tuberville was supposedly headed there but denied it. Definitely need some "LSU" chants ALL game long on Friday!

You would have to think it’s ULab or Catholic wouldn’t you think? I have a buddy that lives in Zackery, Catholic recruited his son to play golf. Produce 3 to 4 D1 players a year out of there. And that just the golf team.

I?m not sure, but some think FL would be his front runner due to his wife?s family relationship and IMG could accommodate his son?s needs as well. Both cities are not that desirable, but his son said he didn?t want to play for his dad. He takes LSU gig for his needs, the BR area high schools can help his son from a recognition standpoint (not that he will need much help), and he signs with FL which makes mom and granddad happy. Meanwhile, Kiffin will be in the playoffs every year with a chance to win a NC or at least be in the discussion.

Then those people don?t really understand how the current landscape is set up going forward following the court ruling. Revenue share is real and schools are going to allocate funds where they want to and where they think their fans want it. Now of course it could change next month, and there will be challenges in court, but no one and I mean no one really knows how each school is planning on allocating funds. Now some schools, most in the sec, front loaded their money before the court ruling this past summer but after next season things will look different. People that think Drink would pack up and leave mizzou for Arkansas haven?t paid attention to just how much they are committed to football right now. Mizzou is not interested in going too crazy on basketball and they give zero shits about baseball, so of course football has made a big step in recent years because it allowed more funds to go there.

Felt like I need to bump this again. Rumors saying schools have x amount in NIL really doesn?t mean much. They may have x amount in their collective but the problem schools are facing is how to get it through NIL go and approved. There are schools right now sitting on money that they can?t map out to players because they can?t figure out how to get it approved through NIL go. Rev share is the most important right now because it?s money that can go straight to players. Now how much each team has will depend on the university and how they divide the rev share ?pie?.

There is a reason the coaching list is what it is right now for Arkansas and it?s about rev share. Arkansas is going to give a larger percentage to basketball and baseball than most other places and it?ll impact football. Not saying I agree or disagree but there?s a reason their coaching list looks like it does (and State?s would be about the same).

If they want to get money to players they always find a way, that's the least of a concern.

Well it?s a real problem right now for a couple programs in our league. So tell them.

They don't have a problem, especially if they're in the SEC.

Maybe only msu. We'd likely be the only school with an effort to keep things on the up and up.

Well drop Selmon an email in the morning and give them suggestions on how to get some of it through. Next year at this time when funds that have been front loaded are gone it?ll be an even bigger issue. Denying it doesn?t make the problem go away. Ignore it if you want to but it?s real.
