No I’m saying if Lane makes it to one of the premier jobs in CFB (LSU) I don’t think we’d have to worry about him jumping ship, again.
Cowboys, Skins, or any nfl team like that gives him a sniff in his arse he is gone again

He’s absolutely not the first HC to be in this position. He’s the first one to turn it into a drama series.

Except he very literally is. We’ve never had a 12-team playoff with this recruiting and portal calendar and that comes with that.

Lane is bigger than the program he's coaching. He can come back to Ole Miss and they'll bring him in with loving arms like they're the battered wife welcoming back home her alcoholic husband after a short stint in the county jail for the charges of beating her arse. They'll take it like a good little gal.

Again, Ole miss is smaller than their coach. He runs that little town. They'll do what daddy says.

That said, I feel a bit bad for him too. He's the first coach to ever be put in this position in this day and age with the new portal window, NIL, signing period, playoff schedule, etc.

That's why all of this is so unprecedented and bizarre.

Lane will be making about $14 million dollars per year in adding to millions already in his bank account.

I don’t feel sorry for him at all.
He earned it.. so good for him !!

I feel sorry for the families that can’t pay their bills.

That’s hard reality my friend !!!

I mean flying your family to prospective job opportunities on the bye week of your current playoff bound season and essentially not hiding it is not “doing right by everybody”. Additionally he has knowingly been extremely non committal in interviews which is rude under the circumstances. It’s not like he’s 9-3. He’s 10-1 I’m the midst of the best season of any Ole Miss’ fans life and he’s got his mind on other places or trolling for more money from their boosters



It doesn’t make me not hire him but it’s a pretty low move to his current fanbase

You're on to something with this post. Basically Lane can't decide. He wants the LSU job but he's brought Ole Miss to a great point and doesn't want to leave in the middle of it. Saban is taking the job if Lane signs the extension in the morning. And will stay here for better timing for Lane. I'm hearing he's signing the extension unless he has a change of heart tonight. If he signs, Saban is the guy.


Book it

He's gonna be wrong no matter what he does that's why you don't give a frick about what people think and you always do what's best for yourself

Yeah the expanded playoff makes it exceedingly difficult for any head coach and even coordinator to accept another head coaching job because of the portal window in January overlapping with the playoffs.

Eh. He's been doing a lot of trolling for someone who is "just trying to do the right thing"

This. He's the one that's turned this into an over the top 5 star high schooler recruiting battle.
