If you live in the state of Mississippi, it's probably Mississippi State. If you live out of state, which many Ole Miss alum do, it's probably LSU.

You can't overstate the importance of winning that first playoff game in our post Kiffin era. We prove right then and there Ole Miss can beat quality opponents without Kiffin. This entire off season narrative hinges on the outcome.

Considering Lane's rap sheet when we hired him, this ain't so bad...

quote:

---

And Ben's not wrong for what he said, either.

---

You’re right. He’s not wrong either and it’s to be expected from a beat writer who benefits from the additional clicks.

If Ole Miss is playing in the Cotton or Sugar Bowl on New Years with or without Lane, this will all just feel like a bad dream.

quote:

---

There are many other coaches that are being looked at for jobs this year.

---

LSU & Florida both “all in” on Lane, so this situation is different. Lane is clearly the prize of this cycle.

quote:

---

Only Lane has attracted this circus.

---

This is accurate. Lane has attracted the circus, but he has not been the cause. He’s maintained he won’t discuss until after the season and apparently we will get an answer the day after the egg bowl. The circus was always a part of the deal when hiring Lane.

His children are sending smoke signals in their instagram posts and TikTok’s.

Both Landry & Knox had LSU ties before BK was fired.

He has consistently lambasted our fanbase about attendance when we are consistently over capacity.

I can point to examples of elite coaches being critical of their fan bases (Kirby Smart)

quote:

---

And from all accounts, the money and commitment are equal.

---

Right. But the money & commitments continue to increase. Why wouldn’t Lane (and Sexton) continue to allow the money & commitments to increase? This benefits the coach (and agent) and the team. Lane is leveraging his position to ensure the resulting outcome is maximizing resources to utilize for the betterment of the team. This is exactly what you should want a head coach to do. If Lane had signed the first offer, would the collective have still committed the same dollars or has the drawn out negotiations increased commitments?

quote:

---

Don’t allow the propaganda from his representation to fool you into thinking otherwise.

---

My thinking is that those of us who’ve bought into “if he’s staying he would’ve signed the extension” are the ones who’ve bought into the propaganda

quote:

---

There is no reason for us to give him a long term deal

---

This is the best stretch of Ole Miss football during my lifetime and most of our lifetimes. We have plenty of reason to have waited a couple of weeks + 1 more.

---

You truly are an apologist

Guilty

Y’all stop being pansy arse bitches and hold the line one more week.

100%.

LSU’s smoking gun was a big, board approved contract & lots of $$$ for NIL, the Ole Miss counter is no problem we will match.

At the end of the day, this is still a negotiation for the betterment of both Ole Miss & Lane Kiffin. And make no mistake the additional money coming into our program due to Lane’s competing offers is good for Ole Miss. The deck is stacked in our favor to retain Lane. Heed KC’s words and focus on going 1-0 this week, the rest will sort itself out.

quote:

---

Ole Miss is the only team desperate enough to keep Kiffin happy

---

How desperate is Aubbie right now? You were desperate enough to try & pry him 1 year ago & you've done nothing but lose since then.

quote:

---

You should as well..or the trailor I should say.

She's fully paid off thank you.

Um if UF stinks, and you are very clearly worse(record, nattys, SEC titles, head to head record, etc) then us, what does that make you?
