Is this about the GM stuff? Because that was the rumor on other boards this morning, and Gary Condon just posted a response to it on the On3 board.

Original Post:

Today said he felt Lane will go to LSU and implied the major issue concerned SS not allowing Lane to bring his GM and have full control of the football program. Shane has been saying for over a month that he would bet the farm Lane ended up at UF so this is not good for the Lane Train disciples like myself. I need some copium or a shot of hope so does anyone on here have some good news about the coaching search?

Shane doesnt have anyone close to the situation and this is not accurate. SS is in concert with LK regarding the GM situation

Man the Waldorf one kicked my arse. Long, straight and narrow. It was pretty damp so fairways did not roll out at all. Did not enjoy it. :lol:

The only thing I can think of is leverage against Ole Miss. Or we struck out. But hiring a defensive version of Napier wasn't on my bingo card.

I am proud of you because this is the first non-trolling/non-crazy post I have ever seen you make. And I fully agree with all of it.

LSUs admin has cared more about winning over the last 15 years. To me, that’s the biggest difference.
UF thought being “UF” was good enough to win was the pervasive attitude from Spurrier and Foley. Foleys comments about not wanting to get into an arms race was very telling.
There are arguments to be made about recruiting grounds and bad coaches winning at LSU too. LSU also has the recent track record of winning more than us over the last 10-15 years.
I don’t think it’s head and shoulders in terms of potential, but in practice it’s not hard to see why LSU is considered the better job.
I will say, if UF gets its shite together, it has as much potential as anyone. Larger student body, much larger alumni base, better academics, much better state in population size and economically.

Our insiders are optimistic. But they could easily be getting fed bs by Jimmy/Kiffin.
The newer fans are riding the rollercoaster of emotions that come from a first coaching search.
The older fans range from pessimism to cautiously optimistic. This is probably the majority. Just like LSU fans went through Herman and Riley, we went through Stoops and Chip Kelly. We recognize we don’t know shite and won’t know shite until a contract is signed.

If you really graduated from UF, you are tied with Corrine Brown for the dumbest alumni.

You suck man. It might be Lane for UF. It might not be. But you don’t know shite either way.

The confidence came from 2 of your 247 writers causing your fanbase to break down by telling them Lane was going to leave.
Even one of your On3 writers started yelling at one of our writers because of all the rumors that came out yesterday. Go to the 17 minute mark.
Sure, we have a couple guys trolling your fans but most UF fans on here have the same attitude as me. We will believe it when we see it.

There are a bunch of us who won't believe anything until the contract is signed and Lane is standing at the podium with Stricklin wearing an Orange and Blue tie.

Yeah, the two most common arguments used against UF were proven wrong by Napier.
Number 1 is that we have a quick trigger to fire every coach. Napier got brought back one more year than he should have. Any SEC team would fire Billy at the point he got axed. LSU fans should appreciate the Mullen firing because it was basically the same situation as Brian Kelly, minus the realtor lover. The guy got lazy, and despite looking decent on paper, needed to go. It was due to off the field stuff. Same with Mac and the fake death threats.
The second one is that we have a meddling AD and boosters. Well our AD and boosters did both tell Napier it would be best if he took more of a CEO role, and he refused to do it and maintained the playcalling. They didn’t fire him on the spot. They let the season play out and saw there was still no hope with Billy calling plays. If Billy had brought in a true OC last offseason, he is still coaching for us next year most likely. Meddling boosters or administration would have fired him last year for his refusal. Ours gave him enough rope to hang himself.

I don't even think UF fans really believe it. I am still thinking we find a way to screw it up, even if all the signs are positive right now

Especially when we had a coach that matched Lane's most wins in a season (Muschamp), a coach that went to 2 more SEC championships than Ole Miss has ever been too (Mac), and Mullen, who accomplished more at UF than what Lane has done at Ole Miss. All in the 15 year period where we were "trash"/"awful"/"garbage"/etc.
We were never a shite program, we had a shite coach since 2020. And every SEC school has had a few of those in their histories.

Also, seems like there has been a definitive shift on both UF and Ole Miss message boards. Lots of optimism on the UF side with insiders and reporters. Ole Miss boards seem a lot less optimistic than before and they are going after mods.
Personally, I won't believe anything until the announcement is public. The memories of Stoops (x2), Chip Kelly and Scott Frost are still seared in my brain. But I do think the trend is positive.
