Sexton is working to milk this as much as it can be. A plane flight here and there is nothing to them. Boosters, agents, etc, will fly anyone and everyone around to make it look like a serious effort.


None of that is necessary. It’s not some complicated super villain plot.

It’s part of the deal

If, for some reason, ole miss doesnt step up, they will have done their due diligence and can make quick decision if needed

I guess we will see if Sexton plays LSU and Verge, who he’s supposedly fairly close to over the years.

Leading on LSU for your client to then stick with the annual rival while never truly considering LSU —seems like a risky move for Sexton I would say.

He’s admitted himself that LSU is a top 3 job so you wouldn’t think that’s a bridge he’d want to burn. Multiple schools already refuse to work with him.

Until the contracts are signed everything is a ploy.

Sexton doesn’t need to do any elaborate bullshite, the bidding war is happening anyway.


true, at this point i think all three schools will match financially. it's about where he wants to be and where he thinks he can win.

florida is a really good job, OM he already has a nice setup. LSU proven giant if you can get everyoen pulling in the same direction. should be interesting.

Does that force Ole Miss to up the ante?


I think they have had 3 weeks of hearing about top jobs and their coach being top target

don't need to pick up hte family to up the ante

this is the behavior of a person who already accepted the job

Yes

His wife wants Florida and Ole Miss is a better location to live in than BR by a mile.

If they visited Florida that was a masterful job hiding it. Which means 2 things.

1.) You better worry they were somehow able to keep that super quiet meaning this is a media stunt at LSU to get more money out of Ole Miss/Florida

2.) They got played because how could that not be made public with their faces in 2025 with modern technology?

I'm not really sure about that. Nobody was reporting on it until eagle eyed LSU fans spotted it. Wasn't media leaking this so that says a lot. They caught on when LSU fans did.

You don't hide thing from baws over here. We will find it if it happens.

Would make sense because they reportedly did it over the weekend which means it's less likely anyone is taking pictures of their recognizable faces since no school on those days.

OM is seriously shitting the bed if true that they are are forcing Kiffin to sign an extension during a CFB Playoff run, or else. I wouldn't blame Kiffin for walking away from being strong-armed for greener pastures, wherever that may be.

Everything that happens in the coaching world is a Sexton play.

Well the rumor is Ole Miss wants an answer and Lane isn't ready to give one so none of this matters

Unfortunately for Ole Miss they have zero leverage at this point. What are they going to do? lol
