This is great news. Hopefully we start to see some leaks about Ole Miss and Florida interviewing coaches

Lane is widely expected to formalize next week after the egg bowl, but if not choice 2 is on speed dial and are far along in the process. We’ll have a coach within 9 days at latest.

According to bountyhunter, tomorrow (Sunday) everything will be legally signed.

Certainly appear that it’s done, signatures pending.

This is a really bad move. So far it’s been a copy cat HC envy exercise. We should be talking this job up to all circles. This program deserves to get a coach who actually wants this job more than a raise.

We should absolutely not take a break here. Geez this is disappointing.

Don’t think we have to wait until then.

He'll be able to sign the LSU contract shortly. They're working on a deal to kill some of the money he owes for leaving early in exchange for finishing the regular season. Once that's done he'll be free to sign the contract with LSU. Effective hire date will be Saturday 29th, contract signed by Sunday (23rd). LSU has given him until the end of the weekend to sign the contract before they move on.

I hope it goes down that way as it means Chicken’s report on the one week OM contract is spot on.

OM fans will riot on that news if their administration caved to facilitate Lane’s exit from Oxford.

I know that Lane has put feelers out about staff and given unofficial hints where he’s headed next year. I think he’s going to put together an all star staff.

Yes, Lane should want to coach here for free. Sheesh.

Relax, mayne. LSU has been reported (by not just insiders here) to have already been in preliminary talks with Dilly and Drink.

No need to search any longer. OU made sure the new coach has no post season plans.

Then they better be absolutely certain Kiffin is coming. Otherwise, moronic.
