Ole Miss AD Keith Carter

[DownwardDawg]

For over a year now, I've read on this board and another board that Ole Miss has an actual AD, unlike State. Carter is a top notch AD who knows what he's doing and has his shit together.

So let me get this straight, everyone in the world knew Kiffin was leaving. Kiffin drug his balls all over Carter and then Carter instantly promoted their DC to head coach.
Yeah, he's really got his shit together.......

Didn’t he get run from Under Armor for using funds and the Under Armor all star game to help direct recruits to olemiss? Nothing illegal, i assume and that may not have been the real reason; but if it is he is in the right place. His job there is made easier b/c the fanbase will sell their kids to fund football.

That's Walker Jones.

I think what they did was smart. This is not the year to be looking for a coach. Put guardrails in place to keep everything as much as it is as possible (what Keenum didn't do with Arnept). Sign him to a contract that is friendly to OM and give him a year's "audition." This give's Carter a year to evaluate potential candidates (if necessary). Pete is much more qualified/experienced to be a HC than Arnept was.

Hell no it wasnt. The smart thing would have been to let Lame coach the playoffs and during that time you could properly vet some coaches. Golding was still there for you 3-4 weeks from now. Carter and their people look like morons who couldnt handle getting broken up with. Their fanbase has been an embarrassment the last week. Total shitshow

They panicked, it's that simple. They have know this was coming and unlike them didn't get out in front of it.

Carter was dumb not to have been looking and privately interviewing. If I was AD there I wouldn't' let Kiffin coach playoffs either. How do you let someone coach your team when he is going to another school.

Bingo. They look like fools. Carter is a rookie AD but OM spin makes you think he is best there is. What a joke.

Actually I don't think they knew it was coming. They are so arrogant, they thought no one in his right mind would leave the center of the Universe. We are the greatest. They were all talking that no way Lane would leave for LSU after gov comments, etc. OM is clueless about their own position in the world of college sports or anything.

We did the same thing hiring Arnett but our situation was much worse - we had no warning it was coming. We had the option to release Arnett and that is what we did. An audition is exactly what Arnett got.

Same i said. They should have let lane coach the playoffs and may have fit themselves in final 4 or 2 while hiring a top notch coach.

[basedog]

Carter didn't take charge, it's just that simple. Kiffin played with both Fl and Ole Dixie. They should have been like Saban and telling Kiffin they were not fooling around to either sign or be gone. I don't care how good of a coach is you can't let him control things! Hell, Kiffin has caused trouble everywhere he has been.

Tulane is doing it.
You make the best decision for your players to win in the playoff.

Whole lot of difference in Tulane coach and Kiffin. It should have never come down to the last-minute deciding. That is a terrible business. If Kiffin would have been allowed to Coach, I think he takes more players and coaches to Red Stick. Plus look how he bashed Carter and Ole Dixie now! There locker room is mess either way and again I blame Carter BUT I am happy what is being played out! LOL.

They knew, but the real leadership was trying to cling to a hope and the AD was caught in storm he couldn't get out of. Lets hope they return to the bunch of meddling shitheads they are. They backed off and let Kiffin run it his way and that looks to be now more.

[DawgFromOxford]

Carter botched it no doubt. Once Kiffin hadn't signed the extension, he either should've been suspended or you let him see the whole season all the way through even though you know he is leaving. Instead Carter and Kiffin wanted to play a game of chicken to see who blinked first

[Cowbeller]

KC screwed up when he tried to have it both ways. You have to suspend or let coach all the way through. The second he entertained the back and forth it spiraled out of control.

Personally if it was us I let him coach and try and make a run, the opportunity to be that good might not come again for a long time or ever. Plus if you keep the money in place for the next year and the perception that youre a new school powerhouse then your recruiting and new hire cant go that haywire.

[Coach34]

The same way Florida did when Mullen took our job. You let them finish the job with the team and he can handle the other part as well

Tulane is another example like we were with Mullen. Lame is going to get the same number of players from the Confederates whether he coached the playoffs or not. They are either a Lame guy or they arent by now. A couple more weeks wont make a difference
