Reed was solid with Ole Miss until three weeks ago, his father, Rod, said. The turning point was in the last week of November when Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin was rumored to be interested in Auburn’s head coaching job. Reed visited A&M the very next weekend.
Un-fricking believable.

I don't really blame him. The connections along with the rumors about our coach... can't blame him. Who knows how much he'll be missed. Maybe something you really just never know.

CLK best stop this bull shite. He got a top ten contract. How many of those top 10 paid coaches flirt with rivals on the regular?

Looks pretty shitty for Lane to tell everyone he jumped for NIL money when in reality it was due to his own greed. Hypocritical really

True but I do think NIL played into the equation regardless for what Rod Reed says. However, I don’t think the kid would have visited A&M, and thus NIL being offered, if the Auburn drama hadn’t occurred.

I agree, but let's be honest, it's not like his dad was going to come out and say "my son is going to A&M purely because of money" either. Is this reason true, or is it just their excuse...? We will never know.

We have a coach getting $9M a year now. It’s his responsibility from now on to ensure this excuse can’t be used in the future.

This, this and this. And when that next job comes open he really wants and they want him, just do it behind the scenes, announce it and get it over with. Don't drag us down with the process.

It was purely NIL. Ole Miss could've signed Reed if we wanted to.

Seems to me like Ole Miss wanted to and didn't. Whether it was due to NIL funds or Lane's own action we don't know.

I still have not seen any actual evidence that Lane wanted the job or that Auburn offered it to him. I certainly do not see any evidence that Lane did anything at all in the open with respect to the hiring process. Maybe he wanted the job and maybe they wanted him; who knows. What he failed at was quashing the rumors at a very critical time. He should have at least done the Saban coach speak "I am the coach at Ole Miss and have not spoken to anyone at Auburn." Hopefully he learned a lesson.

I haven't seen or heard anything definitive either, but there sure was a ton of smoke. But mostly we played so badly those last two weeks it was mighty odd that those very poor showings coincided with the rumors of flirting with Auburn. We seemed ultra distracted, especially against State. We allowed them to completely resurrect their season.

Kiffin is the ultimate narcissist
He doesn’t see how his own behavior affects those around him and the program overall
He just does what he wants and blames everything around him instead of admitting he’s a flighty person who up and leaves places constantly

There isn't any. But people are reactionary and overly emotional.

He did.
Kiffin has always stated that he doesn't discuss shite like this until after the season. Media and fans blew this shite into the stratosphere. The need for updates every single hour led to us getting conflicting rumors every single day.
Could he have done a better job? Sure.....but that would go against his stance of not discussing that topic until the season is finished.
You better believe MSU and Auburn fed a lot of this bullshite. The speculation only served to benefit them and harm us.

constantly?
From the reports, it looks like he turned down the Auburn job. I think you're being a tad bit emotional about it.

The only time he did this was Tennessee, but he had previously stated that USC was his dream job and he negotiated a lower buyout so he could leave for USC if it opened. The fact that Tennessee fans are mad over this eventuality is funny.
Posted on 12/22/22 at 1:22 pm to rebelrouser
Correct. Every other job he was either fired or made a significant jump.

We are not spending $400k annually on an unproven HS QB. It's not that we don't have it, it's that there are better places for it.
There is still a ton of butt hurt in this topic regarding Lane. Hope you guys learn to cope.

FOH with this "cope" regurgitation. Worse than people who use "cuck" constantly. My post was that OM absolutely wanted Reed. What the ultimate deciding factor for why he jumped is we don't know.
What I do question is that if it was all about the money for him then what were we offering before A&M came in at the last minute? Also, he had offers from Bama, Tenn, Arky, Tenn, TCU, etc... were they not offering him sizable NIL $$$?

Sorry, hope you guys are able to come to terms with the reality and situation and accept it. Nah, cope is much shorter.

Yes we do. It was NIL.

I believe it was under $100k a year. He came back asking for around $360-$400k annually to keep him from A&M. We declined.

Look at the QBs Bama and Tenn signed. Reed could not have committed to those schools if he wanted to. We have a bigger NIL fund than Arky or TCU.
