I know for a Fact LSU is paying Saban 1 million as a consulting fee and 500k if Kiffin is hired as a “finders fee”

This makes complete sense given Verge said he talks to Saban on a regular basis

The American championship game could feature North Texas (Morris) against Tulane (Sumrall). North Texas plays host to Temple (5-6) on Friday and Tulane plays host to Charlotte (1-10) on Saturday.

I was at a Mardi Gras court party in Biloxi that night. I remember the LSU fans at the party excited about the 31-7 halftime lead and then get a little nervous as Ole Miss closed to 14 points a couple of times in the fourth quarter.

That's 2 threads and a bump for attention. Downvote.

I posted this in another thread, but ESPN.com has an excellent article this morning on Eric Morris

This is where you lost me. FWIW, it's "Jon."

Florida's leadership isn't exactly stable, either. Florida has an interim president and an athletic director who will be hiring his third head football coach. Here's a little background on the president situation:

The Florida Board of Governors blocked Santa J. Ono’s appointment as UF’s next president June 3. This marked the first time the largely governor-appointed board rejected a Florida university’s presidential candidate since its creation in 2003. The 10-6 vote came after a wave of conservative backlash targeting Ono and his past support of diversity initiatives. Board members interrogated Ono over his past statements, letters he signed and actions he took nearly 15 years ago. To some, Ono represented an academic with the experience and qualifications to run a top public university, having served as president of three universities. But to many conservative Florida leaders, he represented the values they’re trying to keep out of state schools. He resigned as president of the University of Michigan after being announced as the sole finalist in UF’s presidential search May 4.

What I see is this: Saban/Sexton are really pushing for Lane to go to LSU. Lanes family wants UF. Would Lane really listen to Saban? I mean do we even know if they have a good relationship. If we don’t find out this week or early next week, we might as well move to plan B (if we even have one)

Verge says he talks frequently with Saban. What if recent talks weren't about Saban returning per se but about coaches he'd recommend to LSU? Or what it would take to get Lane Kiffin? Besides Houston Nutt, of course. There are plenty of examples (Gus Malzahn to Florida State as OC, recently) where a coach/AD talks to another head coach about a particular candidate, only for the other head coach to say, what about me, I'd be interested.

Let's have this conversation if LSU wins at Alabama. I'm just hoping LSU can split its last four games -- win the 2 home games against teams you should legitimately beat and lose the 2 road games.

If you pluck from the SEC: Drinkwitz and Kiffin make the most sense

If you have a list of people you make say no: Day, Lanning, Saban

If you’re looking at coordinators: Hartline, Ohio St; Schumann, UGa DC; Stein, Ore OC

Potluck: Brohm, Louisville; Campbell, Iowa St; Franklin, ex-Penn St; Fry, Ga Tech; Giles’s, S Florida; Lashlee, SMU; Silverfield, Memphis; Sumrall, Tulane

Why not? Brady, Bills OC; Kingsbury, Commanders OC

I’m sure I left someone out. And I know not all are realistic. I’m just spitballing.
