Directly made the case on Gameday as to why Lane should come here amidst crossfire from everyone else up there lol. Thank you, Coach.

Other guys were basically crying for the players & OM doing something they haven’t done in generations.

It was bad how much they want Lane at Ole Miss & not at LSU.

Oh boo hoo. most of them leave after each season now for the highest bidding team. Excuse for the not caring about the players feelings. They can leave anytime they want but a coach can't?

McAfee said you’re allowed to be happy somewhere basically telling him stay where you are… Reese Davis said you know they’re not gonna build a statue of you at LSU or Florida but they would all miss… Desmond Howard is just… Desmond Howard and Herbstreit said if it were him he would stay… And then save and chimed back in to say that the last three coaches won titles at LSU… It’s a place where you can win titles… our recruiting class is usually at the top whereas Ole Miss does not have that same reputation for strong recruiting classes… And that you can’t just rely on the transfer portal every year to build your team… pretty strong messaging

$aban made the points about LSU winning 3 NC in the past 20 years (without mentioning playing for a 4th) & how LSU recruiting >>>OM recruiting, living on transfers is dangerous.

Yeah

It was strong and he’s right

Best chance for championship is here

A coach doesnt have to rely on mercenary, expensive portal players here

Tebow had Kiffin’s back on SEC nation, said Lane earned the right to be in this situation.

Media generally doesn’t want to see a strong LSU.

Strong LSU is a threat to not only every SEC team but to every other conference & that’s what they don’t want.

They fear Kiffin going on a $aban-type run over the next 10+ years & can’t deal with that possibility.

Lane likes the portal players though. He’s not interested in busting his arse recruiting high schoolers. Something I’m surprised hasn’t been brought up more in all of this.

He is absolutely correct in the fact that this is a CFB problem……not a Lane problem.

If anyone of us had an opportunity to advance our career and build what we wanted to build (with more resources offered), we would do it.

I definitely understand why people in Oxford are salty, but I definitely don’t blame Lane for exploring the opportunity.

The calendar needs to change to prevent this type of situation (as Saban stated), because this situation isn’t fair to anyone

That’s why he retains Frank and gets Coach O to join the staff.

LSU hired Saban as a consultant to be a part of this process. So not surprising to see Nick champion LSU after shitting on us just a few weeks ago.
