re: Why is there a narrative that Lane leaving OM for LSU would hurt his image?

Exactly, a coach shouldn’t feel like they have to stay based on the circumstances that they didn’t create (as far as the playoffs and when they happen). Especially with the transfer portal and early signing day.

Lane wants to coach the playoffs, LSU is willing to let him coach the playoffs. If he "abandons his team" before the playoffs, that is on Ole Miss, not Kiffin.

I don’t care when coaches get hired
We are talking about his image and public perception
If you don’t think this will damage it, then you are out of touch.

Second, he wants to coach the team through the playoffs either way. It would be Ole Miss that would keep him from doing that. But of course the media is going to push a narrative. They don't want anyone to challenge their golden team, the Crimson Tide. If he wins multiple natties, they will say it was a good move.
leaving a team during a playoff run would be my guess.

Tired of MY university being shite on

Yea but that’s not his fault it’s the calendar year of the recruiting and portal stuff if they would push this stuff back there would be no problem

He jumps around a lot and he’d be leaving the best team he has ever had on the verge of the playoffs
That is bad for his resume, and image.

Man nobody cares about that, you know how this works
Lane coached a team to the playoffs and then abandoned them before the playoffs started
That would be a fact in this scenario and it’s all that will matter to anyone.
Again, he might not care and we don’t have to either - hell we just had a tremendous a-hole who everyone hated lead our program for 4 years, so we should be used to making excuses for the coach here
But to argue it wouldn’t hurt his image is foolish.

Can you think of another time a head coach has left his best team ever before the postseason has started?
This is only year 2 of the expanded playoff. Leaving before the playoff games sucks but this sport has a ridiculously stupid schedule now and it needs to be changed.

I meant in any sport, ever
It’s an honest question
Because if this is truly unprecedented and unique, then it will always some with a shitload of people who don’t understand it and criticize it
I’m not saying I’ll think less of Lane, I’m saying his image will take a hit
100% agree they need to change the calendar

It's weird how people feel sorry for Ole Miss.

Yes that idea is ridiculous and insane.
But leaving a playoff team is what people will react to. You all cannot be this tone deaf.

I agree I just think this is more the fault of the calendar than Lane but it won’t matter for the narrative.

Yeah, I definitely agree with that
As someone else mentioned, the logic implied in criticizing this is that coaches of playoff teams can never leave
