NEW: Florida AD Scott Stricklin detailed the Gators' pursuit of Lane Kiffin with @AndyStaples??
“There was a flurry of initial engagement, I would say. Really positive conversations. Then the communication became a little more erratic...
Just reading the tea leaves gave me the impression that it's a good thing we talked to other people and we're going to have to look at some other candidates.”

Guess the “ghosted Florida” narrative/rumor wasn’t so far from the truth…

Kiffin said Verge told him he could run the program how he wanted and our admin would stay out of it. Also offered a ridiculous NIL bankroll.
I don't think Florida did either of those things.

That is how it is supposed to be when you're paying 331/3 of first year comp to a professional search firm.

Lane was interested until LSU came calling
that's how I read it

communication stopped once he really got to know scott stricklin.

he is in over his head and we are all fortunate Florida has kept him there through three football coaches

Agree. Have never heard a good thing about this guy.
Florida football went to shite after Foley left.

That’s the word from insiders. Once the LSU job was open officially, it was just a matter of working out numbers.
Apparently Stricklin did Kiffin’s brother dirty a few years ago too and Lane remembers that. Rest assured he’s gonna stick it to Florida every chance he gets.

Because he wasn't interested in the job. This has been well documented already. This only confirms what we already knew.

“Erratic” is an interesting way to say “Lane ghosted us once LSU entered the chat.”
I guess after all that “moving silently” bullshite, they gotta try and save face somehow.

Florida fans and “message board insiders” told us there was no truth to that
