Philly, your credibility is slipping....

quote:
I am told the expectation is this gets settled before it ever reaches a courtroom


It's already in a courtroom. Suit has been filed.

quote:
at around 29-35 million


Kelly's team already turned down $30M and now they have additional leverage.

quote:
there is not much worry in the building this effects the interest or the ability to make a big hire as their next HC.


That speaks volumes to the tone deafness of those "in the building" which is very concerning.

quote:
I was told again today LSU was given a number on Nick Saban from Sexton. They didn’t say no.


So we've gone from LSU relaying an offer to Saban which (according to you) he didn't immediately reject, to now Sexton has made an offer to LSU and LSU has not yet rejected it? I think you may be getting your story twisted. There's absolutely nothing preventing LSU and Saban reaching a deal right now and announcing it. It's been two weeks. The parties know by now whether there is a deal that makes sense to both sides.

quote:
The latest I heard (couple days ago) reads as follows
“LSU and Lane both want this to happen but neither want to rush it”


It makes sense why Lane doesn't want to "rush it." It makes zero sense from the LSU side. There needs to be a sense of urgency. If not, LSU is going to be left standing at the alter AND missing the portal window. Hopefully those on the search committee understand this, but I have no confidence that they do.

quote:
There are 2 names I can definitively tell you will not be LSUs next head coach and that is Jon Sumrall and Eli Drinkwitz. I have it on good word LSU is not extending an offer to either.


And if Kiffin leaves us high and dry at the 11th hour? It's far too early in the process to completely rule out two qualified candidates.
