They have enough catfish farm and rent-to-own Kia dealership money to pay him a top 10 salary plus buy a few WRs in perpetuity.

Lane has never seemed like a dude chasing a legacy, more content to be the frat star throwing zingers on twitter and make a 12 team playoff every other year.

He fits perfectly with OM’s expectations where ruining LSU or BAMAs season every few years will get you a banner in the stadium. A place like UF or LSU the antics would wear thin after the first 8-4 year and he’d be fired the next.

I fully expect his agent to leverage these openings every year to keep OM honest, but why would he actually leave?

Kiff has pretty much said there's two SEC teams he'd leave for and one of them is FL.

You offer him and let him make his decision.

Maybe he desires title success and not just being Ole Miss success?

Leave for where?
Florida? He wouldn't unless it's significantly more money than OM can offer.

LSU? He's already shown his hand he wants this job.

He probably would. There’s a glass ceiling at Ole Miss, happy as he may be there

The whole premise is I don’t think he’s actually motivated to win titles. I think he’s content to be the heel and is at the perfect level of program to do it.

Lane would be great for LSU. He should either stay at Ole Miss or wait for LSU to open.

Any of you geniuses ever think that Kiffin is doing at Ole Miss EXACTLY what he would do at any other school?

It’s fine to want Kiffin because at this point everyone just wants a change, but to act like he’s some elite coach is just delusional. Hes 1-10 against ranked teams on the road. 3-15 against top 10 teams. And I think 11-25 against ranked teams.

He’s 10% good 90% hype.

LSU is just average as far as money goes. We just have a name and history of national championships the last 25 years, but that’s vanishing soon.

I think it’s probably less than 5 jobs in the country he would consider leaving for. He turned down Auburn a few years ago and now his son is the starting QB for Oxford high school.

I don't think Kiffin is ever leaving Ole Miss
