Thing is, we actually can compete with Saban and Kirby. It's even been proven on the field. At Auburn, 10 win seasons aren't the barometer for success. Winning the division and competing for and winning SEC and National championships is.

That fact alone leaves a large chasm between AU and OM.

That isn't the issue at hand. Zoom Out. Why would anyone willingly go to Auburn and be judged by how they compete with the 2 best programs in the country? That is a death sentence for a coach.

Not to mention the fastest boosters to turn on you in the country.

And a roster that is gutted.

Lane ain't taking it. He could get Texas, UF, UCLA, Oklahoma, Alabama all in the next 2-5 years. He has no reason to force himself in the middle of Saban and Kirby. Not when he is at a place with complete autonomy and the coldest of seats in the country.

But keep thinking this decision is only about OM and Auburn and the gap between the 2. It just flat out isn't.
