Kiffin wants to coach playoffs and championship game and then go to LSU. No news there. Someone is claiming, though, that Kiffin has gone on the offensive and may take certain staff members loyal to him with him if he is forced out early, leaving ole miss short handed on coaches for the playoffs.

Seems like a hardball stance, but, if true, gives Kiffin real leverage in his supposed desire to coach playoffs and go to LSU after. That sure would put Ole Miss AD between a rock and hard place. I am not sure how this would make ole miss players feel.

Would vibe with “working on staff” rumors that seems like a deliberate ploy now

In a perfect world he would. Smart people should be able to figure out the logistics.

I 100% understand wanting to coach your team the rest of the way.

That would be really shitty on Kiffin and those coaches’ part

The hold up is the legality of contracts. It takes lawyers to draw them up. Read them. Agree. Sign.

Correct. The portal window is asinine.

Just don’t have one in the winter if we have to pretend like they’re still students and move it to May.

Majority of the players are essentially paid mercenaries on year-to-year contracts now. They would probably prefer to have him coach through the end of their season. After the season they will be listening to offers themselves.

That also puts LSU in a hard place. We don’t want him coaching their playoffs.

Kind of explains why college gameday was pushing so hard for lane to finish the year. They know what he has decided

I hope this all folds underneath him and he gets stuck at ole Miss. he’s getting way too cute. This is a business and he is delusional.

Coaches shouldn't be able to be signed until after championship game and signing day pushed back to Feb for kids not actually enrolling early.

I just don’t get how LSU could let him coach the playoffs, even if Verge said we would do it for the right candidate. I can’t imagine the donor base will truly be as patient
