I’ll preface this by saying that i don’t believe Lane will do it. I think Lane is here until he retires or gets fired

But has it ever happened where a coach took a head coaching job, then before the season started, he left and took a job somewhere else?

Manny Diaz was hired at Temple and left before coaching a game to go to Miami.

Didn't Bama's softball coach do that to LSU?

Pretty sure it happened to LSU softball, ironically, she left for Alabama IIRC.

You start a lot of useless threads that are basically the same topic only worded differently.

Just an observation.

I’m like 99.8% he’s a troll/alter that engagement baits. It works a lot though for a lot of people on here.

On June 9, 2011, Patrick Murphy announced that he was leaving Alabama to take the head coaching position at rival LSU. Three days later, before signing a contract at LSU, he changed his mind and returned to Alabama— saying Alabama is "where his heart was."

Wasn’t there a poster named Chris or something that was notorious for this

I typed "patrick murphy announced as lsu coach" into Google and AI said that Murphy accepted the LSU softball coaching job on May 18, 2024 after previously backing out of the job in 2011. Did I miss something?

777 posts in one month of being a member is impressive. That timing aligns with the LK rumors starting.

I'm not the most tenured TD poster, but I know a fraud when I see one

See Alabama softball coach who avcepted LSU job and was publicly announced wearing LSU gear with his staff in tow then 3 days later said it was a mistake and all turned tail and went back to Bama...that's all I got.

What is wrong with you? why would a coach leaves what is considered the best job in college football for another job not to mention before even he starts coaching.


Did you read my post? I know Lane isn’t leaving. But this being talked about sparked my interest on the subject and if it’s ever happened before
