Over the next eight days.

He needs to protect LSU by being ready to pivot rapidly to a different coach if Kiffin decides to stay in Oxford.

I think only a fool would repose complete trust in Kiffin at this point, or assume that Kiffin will accept the job.

Our AD needs to be strategic, so that we don't end up in the same situation as 2016.

Verge can go a vision quest for 8 days in a backwater bayou and nothing would change. Lane is locked.

There are rumors that he’s already interviewed a couple people.

I’m sure this has already been done. This isn’t Verge’s first rodeo. Plus, if LSU paid Saban $1 million to help, the search has been expanded beyond Kiffin, just in case.

With all of this talk about Saban getting involved, I can promise you that due diligence s
is being done.

At least I hope to God

All depends on Verges relation with Sexton. He’s the only one in Kiffin’s ear.

If he isn’t doing this now he should be fired. I assume he is

Not until the contract is signed and he is at LSU

If Verge doesn’t have a signed contract right now that is dated 11/29, then he’s not doing his job correctly.

It’s the funniest damn thing to me when message board Joe always pop up somewhere and acts like they know what goes into being an AD at a billion dollar university program and suggesting to them how to do the job.



Thanks message board Joe. I’m sure he didn’t think of any of this.

There are also rumors that LSU has no back up plan.

I don’t think most of us will like who is LSU’s option 2, it will make people Drink a lot!

We better hope Kiffin works out because the pivot will be Drink according to my sauce.
