Issue is our csp is so screwed up, we need a rookie wage scale qb to get out of the mess Micky created, not a 50 million a year qb.

Our cap is as clear as anyones after next season. We could start borrowing against that cap space NOW if we thought our window was open again.

This thread is a good reminder of how many stupid people are on this board. Obviously it depends on what you're giving up, but OF COURSE YOU TRADE FOR JOE BURROW.

He's a top 5 QB and still young. Would you trade for Josh Allen? Pat Mahomes? Saints would give up two 1sts and Shough in a second for Joe Burrow. The Saints could then go all-in borrowing against the cap like the Drew Brees era and worry about cap hell in 2032. Joe's problem now is Cincinatti is cash cheap and will not borrow against the future to win for the next 5 years.

re: Isn’t Chris Kiffin the obvious fallback DL coach option?

Posted by Burt Macklin on 12/10/25 at 11:13 am to DBG

Coaching history per Wikipedia:

Idaho (2005–2006) - Assistant
Ole Miss (2007) - Graduate assistant
Nebraska (2008–2009) - Defensive quality control assistant
USC (2010) - Defensive administrative assistant
Arkansas State (2011) - Defensive line coach
Ole Miss (2012–2016) - Defensive line coach & defensive recruiting coordinator
Florida Atlantic (2017) - Defensive coordinator & linebackers coach
San Francisco 49ers (2018–2019) - Pass rush specialist coach
Cleveland Browns (2020–2022) - Defensive line coach
Houston Texans (2023) - Linebackers coach
Ole Miss (2024–present) - Defensive analyst

I had no idea he was DL coach for the Browns and at Ole Miss before Lane got there.

That was obviously a paid Cameo-type video as a gift to that old-timer. They probably asked him to say something bad about Lane.

6'3"? Wish he was a little bit taller. Though does seem like he is a baller.

Olave had one-on-one with the DB with no safety help - he should have kept streaking.

So "Path to the Boot" is dead? We're doing "#justdifferent" now?

Posted by Burt Macklin on 12/8/25 at 12:13 pm

Just wondering. I never liked "Path to the Boot." Sounded stupid, nobody from Louisiana refers to it as the boot.

re: Has anything been put out officially on Frank's future w/LSU?

Posted by Burt Macklin on 12/8/25 at 8:46 am to SouthernInsanity

I suspect Frank is gone after the bowl game, it just hasn't been announced to avoid awkwardness while he's the interim. The silence has been deafening, if you know what I mean.

What? Are you just making stuff up? Saban RETIRED and Deboer brought in his own people, so Wolford left. Troll.

Lane Kiffin's final days at Ole Miss - ESPN article

Posted by Burt Macklin on 12/3/25 at 2:29 pm

Good article but not much new info other than Florida State was the 4th school going after Kiffin (without firing Norvell).

ESPN

The most interesting part to me is this:

quote:
Joe Ignatius, an Ole Miss baseball player from 1992 to 1996, watched in disbelief as Kiffin and his assistants left Oxford like diplomats fleeing a foreign country.

"I feel naive thinking it wouldn't happen to us," Ignatius said. "It just didn't have to go this way. It could have been six great years going your way, thanks for what you did. But leopards don't change their spots. And I got fooled, so not what I expected."

Igantius said he felt the worst for his son, Bodacious, an eight-grader, who grew to love the Ole Miss football team.

The kids name is Bodacious Ignatius. Let that sink in.

Good point. Whole thing is crazy.

Penn State has to be waiting on Deboer

Posted by Burt Macklin on 12/3/25 at 1:23 pm

... or some other big name in playoffs or NFL. Nothing else makes sense unless they are trying to self-destruct. Madness.

And no chicken littles, Lane Kiffin is not going to Bama if Deboer leaves.

re: Philly was spot on

Posted by Burt Macklin on 11/30/25 at 4:42 pm to Stellytiger

Impressed with Philly calling Golding as interim while all the national media assumed it was Joe Judge. That's a detail that makes the rest believable.
