Does anyone think Ole Miss could replace him with someone better…?
He is in a perfect spot…developed a solid program, not good enough for any of the big boys to come calling…he’ll be there forever

Probably so, but I have no idea what impact the success under Kiffin has had on alum donations, etc.

Ya’ll act like ole miss didn’t go
9-4 with Houston Nutt
10-3 with David Cutcliffe
10-3 with Hugh Freeze

What Lane is doing at ole miss is pretty standard and it’s not worth $9M

He's a good coach who happens to be at Ole Miss. What did you expect?

All of those coaches did eventually take a nose dive and have a losing season or losing seasons (especially Nutt who won 1 SEC game in his last two years there). Lane isn't worth 9 million, but so far, he at least has Ole Miss at a decently competitive level without really bottoming out.

However, this would have been a perfect year for Ole Miss to possibly win the West for the first time ever with no dominant teams playing in the division. Ole Miss looked like crap yesterday and Lane's coaching wasn't good either. He just isn't taking that next step that Ole Miss is paying him to do.

Nothing of significance? They won an SEC western division championship trophy one year. Probably had rings made and everything.

Maybe if Kiffin was a race hustler like Deon or if Deon chased skirts instead of race baiting.

Been to three NY6 bowl games and one of few programs to have more than one win against saban. Something most sec programs haven’t done.

You’re just reinforcing his point. These things are nothing to write home about and by your own admission they are your greatest successes

LOL


Please put up these banners to go along with your 2003 Co-West Division one.

The trifecta would be complete

1) 2003 Co-West Division Champions

2) 3 NY6 Bowl appearances

3) More than one win against Nick Saban




Oh please please hang these in the Vaught.

He's fine for Ole Miss. Who are they going to get that will outperform Kiffin and stick around?

Fair but all of them at least won some bigger games than Kiffin has. At least up to this point. Kiffin might not lose to Memphis but he can't beat Bama. He has a chance to beat LSU this week which would easily be his biggest win, but Kelly even dating back to their USC/ND days has gotten the better of him more often than not.

But we'll see. If he can't beat LSU then I don't want to hear how dangerous Ole Miss is "because they have Kiffin" until we have real empirical data that supports such a claim. How many games has he won as the underdog? I'm not saying he should lose his job, never have, I just ask that people look at him more objectively instead of fawning over how witty he is on twitter and acting like Ole Miss is a Vandy level program where it's impossible to win at as an excuse to make him look better

Ole Miss will never, never, ever, never find a guy who can use the portal like Lane, and if you know anything about Ole Miss football, its 90% about the off season.
