The Lane to UF rumors may have some legs to them… #jorts

Of the rumored choices, if he doesn’t choose LSU, the best scenarios to me are, in order of preference:

1) go to NFL, get him out of SEC, CFB
2) go to other CFB program not in SEC
3) go to Florida, get him away from annual rival
4) stay at OM

Standards were a tad lower back when Hallman was here.


100%. To drive home the point, LSU hired Dinardo as his replacement. Dinardo’s HC experience consisted of 4 season with records of 5-6, 4-7, 5-6 and 5-6; 9-22 in SEC games; and a 65-0 loss in his final game before being hired by LSU.

Of course not long ago we did hire a coach who’d gone 10-25, 3-21 at OM. Worked out in 2019, but…
Sounds to me like there’s pushback, and he’s crawfishing.
Blah blah blah, bury your head in the sand. It’s a horrible look for LSU and piles on the Landry fiasco. Most places would have fired Verge for what he did. We send him to sensitivity training and promote him to AD with no search. And say what you want and minimize the consequences of a negative news article, negative press. But if enough media gets involved exposing what happened LSU looks bad. It’s avoidable, but LSU is inviting it in. And I hate to see it.

They posted a scathing article when he was appointed interim. I can only imagine what’s next.

I think there is going to be significant negative press and pushback on this. I almost wouldn’t be surprised if LSU has to backtrack on this decision. There’s no good response or excuse.
It’d be nice if we had a board dedicated to the subject of coaching changes only. I can’t keep up.

Saban fired Lane one week before the ‘ship? I’m not sure they are friends


I thought it was reported recently that Saban talked to Kiffin about not leaving OM if he’s getting what he needs from the athletic department and boosters. But apparently it was just a comment he made on Gameday regarding the situation. So maybe there’s not a close relationship. I’d forgotten Saban canned him.

Unfortunately with this OL you can hardly get any sort of real evaluation of Shough or any other QB for that matter.
quote:

Pete Carroll (who Lane coached under before going to Oakland) failed in the NFL, then had success in college and went back to the NFL and did well at Seattle. Kiffin's dad was a long time high profile NFL assistant. Wouldn't shock me at all if he wanted to give the NFL another shot. He was essentially a kid when he got the Oakland job.


Good perspective. And makes the point that a lot of people seem to miss. None of us really know how these coaches really feel outside of coach speak, which is to be taken with a grain of salt.

A lot of people speak in absolutes and are often wrong. Calling someone dumb or stupid because they ask a “what if” or “why not” question doesn’t add much to the discussion.

This post sums up this board perfectly


How so?
quote:

Considering Lane was an NFL head coach right after Saban left the NFL to return to college, I doubt he has to tell him much. Do people really not remember that?


Saban became a mentor to Lane many years after that. He was OC for Saban 2014-2016. I’m talking Saban’s perspective and his relationship to Lane today.

I’m aware, I’m referring to the idea that he was just under a bad owner and those saying he’s headed back NFL.
quote:

Kiffin may leave Oxford, but not for Baton Rouge. More likely the NFL


Something to consider is that Saban is a mentor to LK. He’s probably told him about his experience with the NFL and his regret, and to be 1000% sure it’s what he wants to do.

Also, regardless of what he’s said publicly, Saban has probably told him about his experience at LSU. I suspect it’s largely positive.

There’s an airport in Hammond?


Since 1932. The Air National Guard is located there.

“The airfield is over 900 acres and is open to general, corporate, and military aircraft. We currently have over 90-based aircraft at our facility with room for 195 single engine, light twin, and corporate aircraft at competitive prices.
