If you’re LSU, you absolutely cannot let Lane coach the playoffs. Everyone will be indignant and say OM can’t win it all, but the fact is they very well could - then you’re in the Les Miles Michigan situation where it’s impossible for him to leave.

That being said, it was understandable to let him coach last week and “Finnish with his guys” as he owed it to his players and OM to secure their playoff spot. But IT IS SECURED now with or without an SECG win. The leverage Lane had is gone in theory and we’re officially in “have my cake and eat it too” territory.

The Iron Bowl should not matter BECAUSE THE SECG DOES NOT MATTER. Lane is saying “I want the LSU job if I can’t win the national championship this year” at this point.

It’s Lane or bust for us at this point. He has us by the balls. We went all in for LK and fired CBK early thinking we could go ahead and secure him. Should have been more patient.

Yep. We stuck now. Their AD has no balls. Make a decision.

Lot of people uncomfortable acknowledging we’ve lost most leverage here. Him wanting to coach here, I believe, but it not true leverage.

OM won’t make him announce, and as long as they don’t then LSU can’t either

BK had to go.

We are trying to hire a playoff coach. Lots of moving parts to this.

The minute he takes the LSU job, he needs to leave Ole Miss. It's always been that way. He isn't special.

Let him coach the playoffs. It's no big deal.

Letting him coach is only advantageous to OM

Seen a lot of OM wouldn’t let him coach the playoffs but LSU would - it’s the opposite way as long as there no announcement
