Ole Miss also isn’t in the SECCG. Didn’t say he would coach the playoffs. They have a 6 day turn around, hard to be adequately prepared for that with interims.

Yeah, Ole Miss not understanding they are a stepping stone program is what is making this so much worse for them.

There is no world where LSU would allow Kiffin to coach out the playoffs.

National signing day is next week. Portal opens early Jan. You have a new job, get to work.

By not allowing a rival coach to linger around the building?

Why would this be the right thing for the players? Going all the way would be bigger for OM than the players that are free to leave.

I just don’t get this justification for an OM or LSU fan. His experience in the CFP will have direct and indirect effects on the product you are getting in Kiffin.

Is Florida, Tulane biggest rival?

How much poaching can Jon do?

If a player is good enough, Sumrall will want them at Florida. Team is going to 12 team playoff, so I would bet some can play ball

This is a conference game, not a national championship run that goes into January.

Also, on being the right thing for the players... that is a double standard in today's landscape.

If college football wasn't a bunch of paid mercenaries now, then sure.
Players leave all the time, quitting on coaches and teammates for more NIL money, a chance at more play time, or to avoid the possibility injury going into the combine. Happens every year for a multitude of reasons.

When a coach wants to better himself by moving on though, he is somehow shitting on the players and doing the wrong thing?

If Kiffin is coaching for Ole Miss, possibly well into January, then he is going to be focused on Ole Miss. He will miss early signing day, he will miss the off campus recruiting period, he could possibly miss the entire transfer portal window (though no one thinks ole miss is going to make it to the championship game). How then will he build his new team? You can't have two coaching jobs and put 100% into both of them at the same time.

College football as we all knew and loved it is dead.
IMHO, it's time to concede that 'doing the right thing for the players' when they are all on payroll is a moot argument.

That's going to make Ole Miss look like even more of a Cluster F.

Agreed, and for all those thinking it’s dumb to allow Kiffin to coach the playoffs because OM is different than Tulane and North Texas, I get that but let’s not act like OM is a top tier program who makes the playoffs frequently. This is the first time ever, hell they’ve never even been in the SEC Championship game.

You are absolutely correct. We would be butt hurt for years. Many of us don’t like Archie because no of his brood attends LSU. Louisiana anger is intense!

I will let other people argue that, but it’s good for LSU to have Lane sooner rather than later. The earlier he gets to LSU the better. I’m not concerned about Ole Miss and their football program. Not our problem

It’s a little different set of expectations

Tulane will just hire Baker

And keep rolling

Taking an SEC rival coach in the middle of their Best run is hard to swallow


Baker isnt going anywhere, imo. With Golding staying at Ole Miss, I dont see Baker leaving. I think he stays, learns more about high powered offenses, wins at least 1 title before leaving for a HC position, at a big school, not Tulane
