re: This coaching search proves one thing definitively

Lane even had his parents move to Oxford with him

The problem here is that Lane is the bread winner in this situation. They (the family) can’t see down the road to the immediate future where TX and Oklahoma join and AU resurges as well. Going from middle of the pack in the west to the bottom half is not good for job security. That is why you take the money at Auburn, take the additional resources and facilities and take your chances. Sticking with OM is just delaying the inevitable and the family ends up having to move to god knows where for his next gig.
