Because he's supposed to be focused on winning a national championship.
Who's to say he isn't?

Pinnacle being the chance to take over at Alabama after Saban. Not saying it was a sure thing but he bowed out with his behavior.


Maybe if there were signs that Saban was planning on hanging it up soon, I would agree. At that time it seemed like Saban would be there forever and he ended up coaching 6 more seasons after that year.

I wouldn't say your argument is totally inaccurate but it is a bit of a stretch in some regards. It did seem like Lane burned bridges with how he left so in that regard you're correct.

I think the idea is that LSU and Florida have a higher ceiling than OM. Is that true in this era? Not sure.


It's too soon to say. Some might define this era as starting post-covid since that is when NIL became really normalized, but we've only had one 12 team playoff season, so is that another new era?

I think regardless of how you definite it, so far either blue blood programs (Ohio State, Michigan) or New Blood powerhouse programs (UGA) have won it all.

Last year, for all the talk of playoff expansion, the final four teams were 3 blue bloods and Penn State which is a top tier program in its own right and some would consider a blue blood.

It will be interesting to see how far teams like IU will go and who the final four will be this year.

I don't get why it would be bad for him to entertain or even accept another job offer before the season is over. Dan Lanning accepted the HC position at Oregon before competing in the playoffs with UGA. He stuck around until after the playoffs before starting his new gig.
It's not. I understand why Ole Miss fans would be upset, they'd be losing a coach who has had success there, but not sure why fans of other teams are so up in arms about it. This type of stuff happens all the time, but because Lane is a polarizing personality it seems to bring out the emotions in people more than if it were someone else.
quote:

I’m not gonna defend Tenner a whole bunch in here but be honest. It’s not as easy winning at Tennessee as it should be at Bama or at SoCal. In state resources are a huge advantage. Or at least they were when Lane was OC at Bama and head coach at USCw. Tenner doesn’t necessarily have that luxury
I agree, I was just giving him some shite :lol:

Although I don't know what he's talking about leaving Bama before reaching the pinnacle, he won a natty as OC there in 2015, and left before the one in 2016. So he "reached the pinnacle" once as an OC there, in addition to doing it twice with Carroll years earlier.
quote:

Also a sign of self sabotage. He gets close to the pinnacle of success and self destructs. He did it at Alabama and now Ole Miss.
I guess that's why he left Tennessee so quickly since he realized that he cannot even get close to the pinnacle of success there.

No clue

Do the other Ole Miss posters think he has any connections?
According to the responses on MBG's tweet he's a troll.

It's just documenting that they are beginning to melt down over on Rebels 247 pretty heavy.

We wrecked them last year and we sucked.

This isn't the 2017-23 Kentucky teams, Stoops has lost control of that program.

That is either well-written fiction or Scott Stricklin may end up being fully absolved for his football hiring sins.

I've read in a few places that claim Fisch isn't on the list. Not sure why or if true but the guy saying it has been pretty good with nuggets usually.

Stricklin isn't great but he hired a national title winning basketball coach.

Maybe it was pure luck but he definitely made the right move with that hire.

No reason for him. He's in a good situation at Mizzou to compete and Florida fans would hate him if he were hired. Would be a dumb move.

3 x factors on Florida's offense:

1. Was Napier's retarded play calling so bad that an otherwise talented team lost to USF, and nearly lost to Texas and Miss State (both not great teams)? Or does Florida just suck?

2. Will the new play caller be any better than Napier?

3. If DJ Lagway puts up a stinker, would the back up Trammel Jones see the field? Or will Lagway play better without Napier's playcalling hand cuffing him?

Of all the guys who won’t play in a conference championship game or the playoffs……Drink might be the best available.

Florida is playing it smart

Not that smart because the fans will likely have a Schiano-like revolt if the UA A attempted to hire Drink and support for the program would fall apart completely.
