Sure they don’t have the team (most likely) to go all the way, but you think he leaves in the dead middle of a playoff run?

An ultimatum typically pisses most people off. And this is Lane Kiffin we are talking about. Probably the worst person you could give an ultimatum too.

It sounds like Ole Miss is forcing his hand. Doesn’t really qualify as him “leaving during a run” (assuming he does in fact leave).

Because nobody is going to tell Lane what to do

I mean it’s Lane Kiffin. Drama calls him like a moth to a flame. Of course he would

Great hire if it comes together

Because when you make a decision like this, you don't get to pick and choose the time when you get to leave. Usually the school wants you gone Right away!

The best thing for lsu is ole miss is forcing his hand. He can leave and not look like the bad guy (as much as he would look that way on his own)

My thoughts exactly. Lane isn't exactly the guy you wanna play chicken with in this situation.

There is definitely not HIS choice.. OM is giving him an ultimatum and also, whoever he goes to will want to be able to announce it in time to retain current players and get guys in the early transfer

You do realize this would include LSU as his employer if he comes here too, right? This is sort of like marrying a woman who cheated on her last three husbands, under the promise that it won’t happen to you too. Fools rush in. If this does come to pass, LSU will get similarly burned and better not be surprised when it happens.

Cause he is lane kiffin and that ole miss team isn't winning a chip even if he stays.

This is the same guy that left Saban right before a championship game. Or Saban told him to leave. Either way.

- They aren’t winning a natty
- Schedule next few years is way tougher
- 2 of the very few jobs (maybe 5 total?) he’d consider leaving for are open in the same window
- Since this is as far as he can realistically take OM, he’s at the top of the wave and his appeal can only go one direction
- OM miscalculated horribly on forcing him to make a decision
