A friend of mine reminded me that when Nick Saban came to LSU he sent a jet back to Michigan State and not one staff member came. That turned out pretty well if I remember

They’re having to deal with the fact they lost Kidfin AND hired Pete Golding in the very same day. Let them cope.

Fowler is full of shite, it wasn’t an urban myth. No one joined him and his first DC didn’t even make it to spring practice. Every media member that covered the SEC was saying what a terrible fit it was.

Nope. His OC was some guy named Jimbo Fisher from Cincinnati.

Gary Gibbs. I recall thinking he would be Saban’s replacement when Saban eventually went pro.

I bet many of them have a "playoff run" bonus in their contract. What's to stop them from leaving Ole Miss AFTER the playoff run is over?

The only coach that mattered to Ole Miss the last 6 years came to LSU. It’s not like LSU has a trash coaching staff especially on defense. Also, Savage, Glasscock, Weiss are coming. If Saban had 1 or 2 coaches come over, they all basically stayed at Michigan State.

Yeah that wont backfire at all when we grab who we want both coaches and players in ab 3 weeks.

Doesn't anyone really believe Lane gave them all an ultimatum? That reaks of lil bro bullshite to smear CLK on his way out the door.

They are going to spin every story to deflect them from their misery.

Not just for the incentives but exposure for much bigger jobs.

Don’t really understand how they see that as a big win as all they have done is bitch about how shitty Charlie Weiss Jr is

As someone already pointed out, Morris Watts stayed at Michigan State. He became the interim HC the last 3 games of the '02 season when HC Bobby Williams (who stayed at MSU instead of going to LSU w/ Saban) was fired. OTOH, Watts previously served as OC at LSU in 1983, 1995–1998.

It was a myth. Saban didn’t send a plane and no one got on. No one came, but that was known almost immediately
