UPDATE: Kiffin leaving Ole Miss for LSU

[grogan]

UF for certain. id wager

 

[MinnesotaFats]

LSU will be his best shot.

Florida not as easy to recruit now with USF & UCF & FSU all pulling 5 stars and deep pockets withing a short car ride away.

Swapping schools in conference though, thats tough. Leaving a program after a CFP run, thats tough.

But....living in & raising kids in Oxford, MS can't be fun. A road trip to Memphis isn't exactly as intriguing as one to New Orleans.

Sounds like the Ole Miss AD says he will announce his decision after the Egg Bowl vs Mississippi State on November 28

Kiffin decision coming day after Egg Bowl, AD says

An announcement about Lane Kiffin's future will come the day after No. 6 Ole Miss plays rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl in Starkville on Nov. 28.

WTF?????

$90M. The governor from Lousianna went ballistic when he found out the amount they are required to pay Brian Kelly.

How in the hell would he agree to the STATE FUNDED university paying someone even more?

Wish the Longhorns would bump that number to $13-14 million per year

Meanwhile, Penn State is going to hire Stan the janitor.

This Lane Kiffin drama reminds me of when @jjgold was contemplating his move to BMR from across the street

Kiffin to be named LSU coach Sunday morning

It’s official

Sources: Kiffin likely to sign with LSU on Sunday

Sources told ESPN late Saturday that the expectation is LSU, a day after its regular season ended, will hire Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin, 50, on Sunday as its new coach, and that the deal will cover seven seasons at an annual average of around $12 million.

Got to be tough on him having to walk away with his team still in the playoffs.

At the same time - as much as I’m sure he wanted to stay - he knew he had to go. Everyone saying stay and build a powerhouse and become a legend needs to look at Dabo right now. That’s exactly what he did at a second tier school and they are ready to run him out of town after a down season be his standards.

LSU has $$ to spend and can be a player in the transfer portal. All those 5 stars that Texas, Georgia and ‘Bama sign who don’t immediately get the starting time they want will eventually wind up at LSU with redemption on their mind. The days of “in state” recruiting being a major selling point are over - recruits want to play on the biggest stage and make the playoffs. LSU gives them that chance every season.

Apparently the hold up on the official announcement is Kiffin lobbying the powers that be at Ole Miss to still allow him to coach his team in the playoffs.

They said no. Then Lane tried to argue for them to let the players decide if he can coach them in the playoffs. Once again the powers that be said no.

Sounds like now he is threatening to take his staff with him if they don't let him
