He seems desperate tbh :lol:

O holding out his poor man's cup asking for donations.

I think the biggest issue here is he wouldn't control LSU's entire DL so I can understand why he would look elsewhere. He probably wants to coach DEs too. It's his death sentence though. He'll be out of the job in 1-2 years after they can Rhule.

Hopefully they can just promise him full DL job once Peoples leaves and up his salary. Maybe that's enough to convince him.

I like Berry but 1 guy is not worth it take LSU hostage. I'm sure there will be plenty of good RBs in the portal. They're a dime a dozen and Lane will have no problem making this great again in LSU's offense. I would love to see that Duke RB from Louisiana hit the portal. Another BK special somehow didn't heavily even recruit that guy and he looks like a stud as a freshman.

Do you honestly think it's that simple lol? I'm sure he was told and he didn't like it. Whether that's a position in front office with an off the field position or told to take a hike. He obviously doesn't like it so he's trying to use the media as a public mouthpiece. Cya.

If you dig into further in his history it's not great either. I honestly don't see what Lane sees in this guy. His SC lines were not great and even in his first stint at SC they had historically one of their worst lines ever under him in 09. I don't think this was entirely on him though he was coming in from a guy who did an awful job recruiting right before him. Does a bad job at SC so he bolts to Youngstown.

Also, if you dig into his history a common problem his lines have is poor pass blocking. This was even an issue in the NFL lol. He sounds similar to Cregg which I think LSU also brought over to the front office? His lines seem to regress. Either he's bad at evaluating talent, coaching, or a combination of both. He had 2 really good years and lots of mediocre between in his coaching career.

Usually dumb questions get replied with this which makes sense. It's a dumb question. Nobody knows outside a few public numbers that were thrown around. Most of the dealings are private and even the bigger ones are often speculation at best. So tree fiddy.

This is what Saban said on his assistants his final year. He basically says they're a big reason he retired. He didn't directly mention Wolford but I doubt he would. Seemed a lot of units were below par his final year. This was posted in other thread good quick watch on his feelings.

Bama fans can probably chime in on this but he left. I'm pretty sure he was going to get fired had Saban not retired. Anyone with eyes could see his Bama OLs were not good. They actually haven't recovered since he has touched that OL. While that's not directly his fault, it is kinda funny to see. :lol:

Saban said his assistants his last year are a big reason he retired because they forced him to do more than he traditionally did. At his age it was draining. He got tired of it. You see their OL was not great you put 2 and 2 together. IDK seems like he was taking shots at guys like this. I doubt he recommended him to Kiffin.

Probably a better example of a guy who falls upward in a coaching circle just because a bunch of coaches know you. Plenty of guys do this they're subpar and somehow keep getting big jobs in coaching circles.

UCLA might've been in it but the 4th team was definitely FSU. It was reported they were back channeling Kiffin for awhile. Even Ole Miss insiders were adamant about it and it definitely makes sense.

Bama fans hated Golding but he's a very respected coach in coaching circles. He's young and even LSU tried to poach him a few times in the past due to his ties in Louisiana.

I get why people are skeptical on this but I think he's going to be much better for Ole Miss than people give credit to. He doesn't exactly have the talent level on defense at Ole Miss as one would want in SEC. Main problem I've always seen with Golding is he overthinks things and can make it too complex at times for his players. I think he's a good coach, much higher than his defensive rating suggests on a limited talent roster.

Gatoraids said LSU/Lane will be sued because these are legally binding.

Then shortly after this Gatoraids said he's leaving their insider boards and went to the transfer portal.
