We’ll dissolve the program once it goes final. Tough times to be a Reb.

It’s monetized shite talk. Honestly, pretty great business model.

What is the purpose of committing in the transfer portal? If you’re taking offers, just wait until you sign to say where you’re going.

I think all these coaches just straight up gutting their former programs is wrong and shouldn’t be able to happen. Honestly, the transfer fee idea would at least allow these schools who lose all these players to have it help them recover in some way. The mobility can still be there, but there must be some cost to doing so.

Watkins wasn’t a starter. Townsend is a loss. Pretty far cry from “we’re taking everyone”, no?
Did we want Leavitt? I’m confused.
I think you can argue that plenty of teams took a step forward with their recruiting while still retaining the team and we only retained our team. I really do hope this is the last year for Mike and we move on to Godwin.
Kiffin is the one who started this process.
If he gets the first round draft grade after playing next year, he’d be better off than he is currently.
There’s more money in college unless he gets a first round grade, which I’m not sure he’ll get.

Yep, because he has no interest in making $5 mil in 1 year vs $6 mil over 4. Both parties win in this scenario, not just Ole Miss.

I like how you just made a bunch of of stuff up that I didn’t say and got mad about it.

It’s a pet peeve of mine that everything is “coaching” or game results are always “they got out coached”. Like how folks were talking about both UGA games this year. Kirby didn’t out coach Kiffin, the kids made more plays for UGA. Pete didn’t out coach Kirby, the kids made a few more plays this time for Ole Miss. Both teams are well coached, they just have the ball fall a certain way or the 1-on-1 reps and wins accumulate over a game.
And I’m not so sure Lane goes for it as much as he has in the past. Lucas is a serious kicker. Analytics come into play if you don’t view the 3 as automatic imo.

See above so I don’t have to type it again.

On Ole Miss’s side, it’s really all we had to keep him on board. Lane obviously values what bigger programs have and wants it today. We can promise the pay and NIL commitment, but the prestige and 100k stadium will take decades for us to build up to if we ever do it. But if you say during negotiations that “if you choose another school, you can’t coach in the playoff”, you have to follow through.
I personally think Lane’s coaching impact on the game would be negligible and I’m not sure his presence makes our run defense or secondary better. But that’s also with hindsight in mind.
I do believe ripping the bandaid off was the right thing from an organizational standpoint. We’ll see if Pete is the answer that Keith wants him to be. I’m pessimistic.

The entirety of the “will they or won’t they coach for Ole Miss” saga. As already established, it’s normal for coaches to be allowed to stay at their current gig when in the playoffs. Kiffin first announced that he would “allow” these coaches to coach for Ole Miss the night before the last regular season playoff rankings came out. The ones that essentially decided if Ole Miss would go or not. That ambiguity Kiffin introduced, from my very biased seat, I admit, can’t be construed as anything but malicious, as the committee had already finished their deliberations when it was announced. I believe it was done to affect our seeding and failed.
He then allowed the ambiguity to continue after each win and only ended the charade after the portal opened and it was no longer convenient to flaunt magnanimity. And during this time, these coaches were definitely tampering. I assign no moral judgment to this, it’s simply a fact of college football today and goes both ways. But it was part of the calculus to “allow” the coaches to continue.
Final point: I know I’m looking at this with red and blue glasses. I do believe Lane and Keith got in a pissing match and Keith had one lever and used it. If we were 8-4, I think Lane announces in the Egg Bowl presser and there’d be some but less heartburn over it. But we went 11-1, Keith used the playoff as leverage, it didn’t convince Lane, and we are where we are.

Just because he was unsuccessful due to the team coming together in the playoff does not mean there wasn’t an attempt.

Great question. Why was Lane Kiffin treated differently out of every coordinator and head coach in CFB that took a better opportunity, including former coordinators at Ole Miss? Puzzling indeed.
There were coordinators all over this playoff coaching for their teams that are moving on somewhere else next season. None of them needed to be “allowed” to do it, it’s an understanding of how the game works. The only one unique in that respect is Kiffin. Why do you think that is?

Only way it would’ve happened this year is if we only won 8 games as expected. But even then, leaving for LSU would leave a mark.
