...I direct your attention to the 1988-89 Michigan Wolverine hoops team. A week before the Big Dance, their head coach announced his intention to leave for Arizona State job. Their AD, Bo Schembechler, told him to GTFO and named Steve Fisher as the interim. The result? A national championship.

Gotta feel good about your chances when people have to go back 36 years for a comparable situation

Ole Miss isn't winning the national championship with Lane, Saban or the ghost of Johnny Vaught coaching them.

For those worried about winning in football in 2025, I direct you to one obscure basketball example from the late 1900’s

I don't disagree. But, the reason they don't win it all won't be because Lane left now. Money considerations aside, I cut Lane loose if I'm OM.
