Does he actually have the balls to leave his little velvet ditch in Oxford to come and lead the Tigers? Time will tell.

Calling him chicken? Interesting avenue to take.

Honestly, if he just chooses to stay at Little Ole Miss and not accept that challenge? Absolutely.

So he's a chicken if he decides to build something for himself, where it hasn't been done in 60+ years, rather than walk into one of the easiest jobs in the country...

That's your stance?

So you think staying at Ole Miss is the path of least resistance in his pursuit of winning a title? It takes balls to leave them for a program with more resources?

OK

If anything, going to LSU at this juncture in his career would be the cowardly thing to do.

Yeah, but the problem is he’s never going win a national championship at Ole Miss. you have to find a way to make it to Atlanta first, and you guys have still not been able to do that. shite, BK did it in his first year here. Do you think Lane won’t notice that? Yeah, he could stay at Little Ole Miss, and be set for life because there won’t be so many crazy expectations on him. To me if he decides to stay in that situation, that’s a little bit chickenshit to me. Is it not?

LSU hadn't won shite until Saban turned up. Let's not act like LSU was just winning titles every decade for their entire existence.

Wider discussion point, but making the conference championship game really doesn't mean anything now. Hell, last year (and this far only year in the new playoff format) not a single conference champ won a playoff game.

Hes not. But just as Saban finally got LSU over the hump, the hope is Kiffin can do the same for us if he stays.

King of the Runts has its appeal. Looking at that 1963 SEC championship trophy and that 2003 “ co” championship banner reminds him every day that he can drop 3 games a season and still be the Ole Miss modern era GOAT. He’s in a great low pressure situation.

Kiffin has been at Ole Miss 5 years. He’s at their ceiling, a possible playoff spot.

He could go 7-1 with a loss @UGA which would have 100% made it Atlanta from 92-23. That won't get to Atlanta this year. Just a different world where getting to the SEC championship isn't that important. Getting in the playoffs and making a run is.

Lane Kiffin is not leaving Ole Miss. Why? Because he is a confident head coach who believes he can win it all with the resources they will give him. He is in a great situation and he will use it to the fullest.

Maybe, but he is also someone that doesn’t want to live with regret. That’s definitely something I gathered from his documentary, if he stays in that comfortable situation down in Oxford, I just have a feeling he might regret not trying to take on this challenge. I could be wrong though.
