Let’s say Kiffin is 90% there. Agreed on terms with LSU, but nothing signed yet.

Everything I’ve heard from secondary sources in BR and Nola are that it’s basically a done deal. What scares the shite out of me is what happens over the next week.

Imagine the Egg Bowl is close. Ole Miss sneaks out a win in a crazy game. They cap off a historic season (for them). It’s emotional, Kiffin is carried off the field by his players. You might think this sounds gay as hell but think of a Les Miles against A&M 2016 type scenario. He’s almost assuredly going to be fired. Our knee-jerk AD at the time is moved by emotion and the team rallying behind him that he doesn’t fire him and is forced to do it after Les ruined the 2017 season.

We are close, but this isn’t a done deal until it’s signed. Working in M&A I’ve seen so many deals fall apart the days before signing. What do we want to happen here in the Egg Bowl?

Nah. Kiffin would see it as a perfect end to that chapter. If hes decided to move on to bigger pastures, nothing is changing that.

My concern is that he did this to Auburn a few years ago.

Les Miles wanted to be at LSU, Ole Miss is not the place Kiffin can win multiple NCs.

It’s not done until it’s done. If he backs out, oh well. There’s a lot of good names on the list. And it’s very obvious that we are not scared to spend money.

The players aren’t carrying him off the field. They aren’t happy

Same here…time kills deals! This is by far my biggest concern.

Auburn isn’t the same as LSU
