Nothing was ever happening before the end of the regular season. Since when do you remember a coach leaving before the regular season is finished?
well, early signing day is the Wednesday after the Egg Bowl...only four days later...

Oh ok thanks for pointing this out. I’ll call LK and let him know we don’t like it.

So Lane signed the extension with Ole Miss? Congratulations!

If there's one thing about verge I trust it's finding the right guy for LSU. He was right to go after Lane if we miss that's not on verge. Let's see who we end up with before we call for his job

LSU’s search gets dragged out, they get more desperate, they probably overpay.

Deals are done. This is just his decision making left.

Ole Miss keeps our head coach, our staff and our class together as long as possible.
okay, but why would that matter when you say...

The minute Lane signs somewhere else, our staff and recruiting class start getting picked apart. That’s just reality.

Hypothetically, if he announces right now, he takes half the staff with him. He takes a chunk of our roster. The rest gets picked over in the portal. We’re not getting a full staff in place fast enough to recruit, flip kids, and actually prep for the playoff.
This is completely stupid lol. Why would he take the staff BEFORE the playoffs? LSU already has a staff. He can literally keep the defensive staff, make Frank Wilson the recruiting coordinator, and wait til they finish because his offensive coaching staff is on the way. Brian Kelly had our current OL coach deal with the team and bowl game while he put a staff together.

Also, why would he take your roster? LSU has a better roster and some coaches don't think that's a good look if the team has a chance to finish with a great season.
quote:

Do you guys not see that? Delaying this isn’t some moral victory, it’s just simple math. The longer this drags, the better it is for Ole Miss right now.
Delaying this doesn’t matter. As long as he is coming before early signing day, everything else will work itself out. I just gave one scenario, but even that doesn't have to happen.

A- this is uncharted territory. No one knows what the frick this really is, especially you as an outsider. You’re just reading and interpreting tea leaves like everyone else.

B- this bit of detente is dependent on both sides keeping quiet. If LSU senses that Lane is wavering, they will likely start leaking shite and push this to a resolution during the week rather than waiting. There is a drama point past which Ole Miss would have to take action rather than potentially sacrifice the Egg Bowl and jeopardize a playoff birth due to extended drama.

Ok Verge.

Hopefully you've got an ace up your sleeve in the event that Kiffin Underwoods us....and I'm not talking about promoting Frank Wilson or hiring Eli Drinkwitz.

You got a ton on thinking this is a good thing. More importantly the LSU AD agreed to wait. Makes you wonder.

I mean, objectively, it is a good thing for LSU that Kiffin hasn’t signed an extension with Ole Miss.

And you have no idea what LSU AD has agreed to.

If this drags beyond the regular season, then LSU might consider an ultimatum. Right now? Feels like a good day to be a tiger.

LSU isn’t hiring a coach until next Sunday at the earliest. Whether it’s Lane or someone else. 8 days isn’t going to put LSU in any worse situation than LSU is already in.

How is that a hit? LSU doesn’t have a coach. The college football season isn’t over for 8 days. LSU won’t have a coach for the next 8 days, no matter what.

I’m confused how that’s a hit for LSU.

Ole Miss has a coach. Season isn’t over for 8 days. In 8 days Ole Miss may not have a coach, likely won’t. That’s more of a hit for Ole Miss.

What is this “strategic blunder” you’re referring to? You have no idea what conversations our AD has or has not had… or is having?

Do sitting coaches in the CFP era usually announce they’re leaving for another school before the end of November?

I am more bullish on LSU poaching Kiffin after this week than I ever was at any point prior. You guys showing up here wishcasting gives us a pretty good gauge of the temperature on the other side too… Y’all do not seem confident lol.

Delaying the decision until next week was not good for LSU. I think Lane fully intended to leave today and Ole Miss came up with something at the last minute that derailed that. He went from leaving to having to consider an enhanced deal. LSU should be extremely concerned because this might be a game changer.
