Wrong way to go about it

Yeah, it is just a tweet he sent out
I think the contributions of Frank the Tank are mostly in the past. He is a relic of the past. We no longer need someone like him. You have recruits now going straight to schools through agents. Folks at Ole Miss want him. I am not a big fan. I don’t want him anywhere near my team.
Do we have a ruler measuring the depth of the swamp, with a high water mark and and way of determining how far below that mark we have come?

Saban’s dc did a good job.

Alabama fans: Saban’s defense

Saban’s dc missed some opportunities

I get it. We held on to what was left of the 26 class.:lol:

Kiffin was going to recruit Ole Miss players whether he was coaching in the playoffs or not.

So knowing that it was a matter of choosing the lesser of the two. On the one hand if he stayed, we could have success, but during that whole run, he would be able to solidify and increase his chances of pulling people. Also he’d slow down our recruiting at same same time.

The proof is in the pudding. We held our class together. We’ve solidified the commitment of our team and we’ve got our next head coach in place who will build momentum for next year. At this point, we just salvaged what we thought we could out of the season. I guess we’ll see how well that pays off during our playoff run and the subsequent portal. And of course, whether or not Pete Golding is the right man in the end.

Part of me would’ve liked to have seen Lane stay because I really think he would’ve given us his best chance to win this year. So I understand anyone who’s critical of what they did because it is a risk either way but one could say that it’s a better choice to leave him in place for continuity and make a playoff run.

I gotta be honest with you. I got my doubts about the way things are shaking out right now. I’m not sure that Pete is ready for the bright lights just yet. I guess we’ll find out when he manages his first football game as our head coach and see how well we play?

So basically that’s another reason for why leaving Lane in place would’ve been a good idea because number one we would’ve gotten a better playoff run and number two we could’ve taken our time on a real coaching search.
I’ve noticed more people using the skin-tone thumbs up instead of the default yellow. I’ve always just used the yellow one because, to me it looks like a generic cartoon hand not a real skin color. I never thought of it as white skin color.

For those of you who do pick a specific skin tone, what’s your thinking behind that? Is it about representation, habit, something else? Do you see it as important or just a small personal preference?

Similarly how do y’all think about putting identity front and center (race, sexuality, etc.)? I’m more of a private person and don’t usually talk much about my personal sex life, but some people clearly feel it’s important to say their sexual orientation as part of how they show up.

I hope this doesn’t come across as a micro-aggression…

What say you?

As an LSU fan, I 100% agree with everything that you said. I'm glad he's our coach but that's a very fair way of looking at it.

Hey thanks for that. Truly hated to see him go. Unquestionably the 6 most exciting years of my life. He will wreck shite in the SEC in BR no doubt. It’s actually kind of scary to think about as an opponent. I get what he left. Most don’t understand from an Ole Miss perspective. I grew up in Mississippi and graduated from Ole Miss. As a Mississippian I can tell you that it is very frustrating to be highly educated and professionally successful and hear some of the rationale for how these people make decisions. Growing up I was constantly told, you think too much. I have never been told that outside of Mississippi. Lane was probably aging in dog years in Oxford. He is like Mike Leach, a national treasure. I will only be rooting against him when Ole Miss plays LSU.:cheers:

Thread starter RNBReb

People keep comparing what Ole Miss did with Lane to what Tulane and JMU did with their coaches and it just does not add up.

Those guys took jobs at UF and UCLA and their schools let them finish out because there was no real BETRAYEL angle there and no real threat they were going to gut the roster on the way out. Lane left Ole Miss for LSU. That is our BIGGEST rival in the conference. That is not some neutral move up the ladder. That is crossing the street to the ENEMY!!!!

On top of that he lied about his intentions and as he was going out the door, and he was basically threatening to take as much staff and as many players with him as possible. You cannot hand a guy the keys to your playoff run when he has already chosen your rival and made it clear his PRIORITY is stripping your building for parts. At that point you are just surrendering, and trusting that his decisions somehow line up with what is best for Ole Miss. They did not!!!

Tulane and JMU are not in the same position we are. If they had yanked their coaches immediately, they would have been scrambling just to function in the playoff and there is almost zero realistic chance either one is actually winning the whole thing this year. Leaving for UF/UCLA really increases their long term shot at getting to that level. Lane did the opposite, he walked away from a CHAMPIONSHIP caliber Ole Miss team that is literalLEY in the playoff right now with a legit chance to make a run so he can chase what might happen later at LSU.

The other big difference is we were actually able to put a REAL plan in place. Ole Miss promtoted Pete Golding and got a full staff structure set for the playoff and kept the bulk of the roster together and held on to the entire 26 recruiting class. By cutting Lane off from the building we limited his ability to sit in our meeting rooms in our gear and quietly recruit guys for LSU while pretending to live in two worlds. If we had let him coach the playoff he would have had even more access to our team and comitts and the ATTRITION could have been brutal.

So yeah on the surface it looks cold to move on from a coach right before a playoff run. But once you factor in that he chose LSU lied and danced around it threatened to take staff and players and wanted to stay inside our walls while doing it there really was NO OTHER CHOICE. PROTECT OLE MISS!!! Back the staff that wants to be here. Ride with Pete and the guys who stayed. JMU and Tulane are playing a diffrent game. Our risk is higher our stakes are higher and we acted like it!!!


From other thread
The world is so fake that WWE had everyone believing kayfabe was real.

If the world got any faker you wouldn’t be able to recognize anyone from social media in real life because of how much they post pictures of themselves with filters.
