And Ole Miss will treat is like they stole the Declaration of Independence from LSU.


Funny enough, many LSU fans acted the same way when they hired Bolden and Thomas away from us last year.
I imagine Kewan Lacy is the issue here. Lane probably hires Frank Wilson without thinking twice if he didn't think it would hurt him in recruiting Lacy as Kevin Smith is not going to take an off the field role. Lacy is a special back, probably better than Quinshon despite not getting the hype. I know Lacy hasn't been thrilled with Lane and tweeted as much before deleting it but if Lane brings Smith, it may smooth things out.

And bonus aside, if he really wanted to frick Ole Miss, he could've just kept all the coaches in Baton Rouge.


Maybe the WR and TE coach but not Weis.

Yea but Lane didn’t have much to do with y’all’s success so I wouldn’t put much value into his opinion on coaches amirite?


Lane is an elite gameplanner when he's locked in and has a great feel for the game as it develops. I've never said otherwise.
Austin Thomas should be announced soon.

LSU and Ole Miss effectively swapping front offices.
JDB has spent the last 2 seasons as the ECU OC. Prior to that, he was the co-OC under Lane at Ole Miss. ECU was 14th nationally in yards per game.

Very good hire for system continuity. Glad to see Pete followed through on his promise to keep the system in place as I'm sure State fans can tell you that the DC promoted to HC not following through on that can be a disaster.
Very good hire for continuity. Lane loves JDB and thinks he'll be a star. Didn't have much talent at ECU but produced a lot of yards and points. Always a level of uncertainty whenever a DC takes over a successful offensive team so glad to see Pete follow through on his word there.

Ole Miss could not be looking for a head coach or have head coach questions when the portal open in January. That's why Lane couldn't stay. We will likely have most of our new staff filled out by then.
How gracious of Lane to allow coaches still under contract with Ole Miss to coach at Ole Miss.

Lending coach's to a rival school that you have under contract is unheard of.


Pretty sure all of these coaches are under contract with Ole Miss still. They've agreed to terms with LSU but haven't signed any official paperwork. Otherwise I don't think this would be legal.

Ole Miss wants to retain Weis, according to their site. They will try to convince him to stay post playoff.

We’ll see. A backup for both schools would be John David Baker — Kiffin worked with him at Ole Miss


I think it's extremely unlikely Ole Miss retains Weis. We are interviewing JDB though.

He was trying to burn it down.

All of these coaches are still under contract with Ole Miss technically.
Fournette and Christian McCaffrey opted out of the 2017 bowl season. Not sure which did it first.

The B1GCG was the final game to determine who gets it and the winning QB will win it. All 4 though had great seasons and deserve to be there.


in a 13-10 game where neither QB played particularly well.
If Ole Miss didn't have a circus for the last month and a half, they probably could've lobbied for Lacy to at least get an invite. Led the country in rushing TDs and forced missed tackles.
I understand the criticism but Will's HC experience was at USM which is easily among the least resourced schools in the country. That's why Huff was looking to get out immediately. He was able to have some success there early on but was unable to sustain it and I doubt Huff would have been able to either. Neither are bad coaches.

I can promise you that Will regrets taking that job in retrospect.

I thought we got worse as the season went on and our defense ended up being a disaster again.


Just think the schedule got tougher. It was pretty backloaded.
Another LSU thread about the mysterious Ole Miss crybabies.
The committee didn't choose to put JMU in. They had to by default because of a stupid rule they put in place trying to protect the P4 conferences. They just didn't predict the ACC fricking it up so badly.
