re: Majority of Ole Miss players wanted Kiffin to coach the playoff, vote was 9-3

I’m not sure why LSU fans care to keep talking about this. We would not have wanted him to coach these games either for incredibly obvious reasons. Not to mention LSU did in fact hire their coach away from them, during the season, so pretending as if all would have been well if the staff remained in tact for the playoffs is not a good faith argument

---

Oh, frick off.

Hiring him during the season was the only way LSU was going to get him, and it was well within their rights to do so. LSU caused this but has no reason to feel bad or otherwise critique Ole Miss handling of it.

---

That’s the point. LSU was up against the calendar. They did the same thing any other university would have done if they could have, including Ole Miss.

The “critique” of OM isn’t that they are pissed, or that LSU wouldn’t feel the same way if roles were reversed, it’s that from the top down, the AD, coaches, and fans have lied about a narrative and the truth is slowly seeping out.

quote:

I agree. Y’all melting over us sending Kiffin to y’all early is peak little brother syndrome

---

62 years and counting. Nothing about this playoff birth will change that, so get ready to celebrate 63.

OM can truly “foul up” any situation (even those thought to be “unfoulable”) and having lived amongst these people for over 30 years has continually shown to be true. I always laugh at their saying “WAOM We Are Ole Miss” !

He had a choice and he chose to leave early.

He didn’t have a choice to coach through the playoffs, he was told no. His only choice would have been to stay and he obviously wanted better for himself.

quote:

---

He isn’t entitled to the opportunity to win a national championship, especially when he’s going to leave to go to LSU

---

But the other coaches are? Ole Miss accepted the other’s back with the quickness.

Is there a more delusional fan base on earth than y’all? I mean Ole Miss fans have become pathetic and out right embarrassing.

Are y’all all this stupid and lie as much?

It’s going to be the final dagger when y’all lose and players transfer to LSU. But I’m sure y’all will have some fairytale story for that too.

The AD is retarded, would rather save some type of pride and squander a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Nah you frick off. What I said is true, deal with it.

That’s the point. LSU was up against the calendar.

Then quit making shite up.

---

Again stop making shite up. LSU won, they got the coach they wanted. Stop “critiquing” how OM handled it. This had nothing to do with a team vote. Let OM handle it the way they see fit. No need to further justify that LSU is the superior program.

Why are we calling OM fans delusional for owning their own decision?

quote:

He didn’t have a choice to coach through the playoffs, he was told no. His only choice would have been to stay and he obviously wanted better for himself.

---

frick man, he chose to take interviews during the season. He didn’t want to miss opportunities that he could have easily told to wait. LSU fans are the one that have proven themselves so delusional in hey can’t even accept the truth as the truth.

LSU pursued Lane as early as possible and he accepted. There is nothing wrong with what either one of them did. The only group that can be mad about timing of when he left is OM, and this board won’t even let them own their decision to turn the page and try to win without him. I seriously can’t get it through my head why LSU fans would try to bring this up. It’s over, the fact that he picked LSU leaves nothing to be said.

The worst part is how bad the melt would be for the next 4-5 years if it hey happened to win a championship while Lane was employed by LSU. The made up narratives would be rampant. It would be, as you put it

the final dagger

In our horribly insecure, yet somehow narcissistic fan base.

What part did I make up?

quote:

---

- LSU did what any school would do if they could - The calendar dictated the timeline

---

Not this, because it’s my entire point

quote:

---

Ole Miss has consistently spun a narrative that continues to be proven wrong

---

This might be it, depending on the “narrative”. You just said LSU did what they had to do. That out OM in a position to say “hey you don’t work here anymore, you should leave.” When did they ever say it was due to a team vote? Here was an “ultimatum” reported weeks before it was announced. Is that when the vote was held?

quote:

---

So, again, frick off with this “LSU fans should take the high road” bullshite.

---

More made up bullshite. This isn’t about taking the high road. LSU fans, like yourself, are taking the low road. There isn’t anything to discuss. OM was well within its rights to tell Kiffin please don’t come back, and I’m not sure what other choice they really had if he was no longer an employee. Clearly, the only interest an LSU fan would have in this is justifying the actions of Lane and their school. If you believed the first two bullet points of yours, there wouldn’t be a reason to justify anything.

I’m actually proud of the way LSU played the game and I think OM acted admirably given the circumstances. I’m not insecure enough to try and blame anyone when both parties seem to be moving on.
