Coming in 2026. Those are always fun. Especially after the last 10 days on here and the next 5 weeks.

I think the landscape has changed.

The only reason he’d leave now would be for a Super Bowl ring.

The Cowboys might make him say no in the future.

Unless they get upset, I think 11-1 is certain for playoff. After that, it’s all matchups.

I don’t think Kiffin will leave but what if he does? Ole Miss will have a very difficult time attracting a coach of his caliber. This much confidence has never backfired lol

Would love to have him. He brings a certain degree of swagger and confidence that I like.

He is not leaving Oxford.

The last time we made a hire LSU fans could definitely say that, but believe me it won’t be true if that’s what happens this time lol

What happens if he leaves and Ole Miss is struggling to find a coach ? How many Ole Miss fans will be saying it was time for him to go.

Yeah who would want to come be one of the highest paid coaches in the country with full support from the AD and boosters!?

We might have the best Chancellor/AD partnership for coaches in the country. We have been ahead of the curve on NIL. We are willing and able to spend 10+million on a coach.

Yeah no one will want this job.

I would really like to see Lane in purple and gold. Just to see what he could actually accomplish here.

That being said. I think he's happy at Ole Miss and will have yall competing for championships. Ole Miss has history of success albiet distant

Some LSU fans want him, some don't.

I don't know of a single OM supporter at this moment who thinks it's time for him to go. The only caveat is we don't want to feel like great seasons can be upended with rumors. If that doesn't happen, no complaints on our side. I mean sure, he'll leave one of these days obviously enough. They all do. If it's at all within reason, hopefully it's not now.

When he was hired, most of us figured if we got three years out of him, we’d be thrilled. We’re way past that point — we’re playing with house money now. And honestly, I think Oxford changed him as much as he changed Ole Miss.

He flipped the perception of what Ole Miss can be. In the new era of college football, if your administration is aligned and your NIL is strong, you can win big here. Since the shift in college football, the SEC pecking order has been pretty simple: Georgia, Bama, and Ole Miss — in that order.

Meanwhile, LSU fans still haven’t fully accepted what this era is. Y’all keep talking like it’s 2011 and Les Miles is about to run toss dive on 3rd & 9 again. Maybe that little Vandy life-lesson y’all took recently helped open some eyes.

I think the "Saban will come back to us!" posts (and, they'll deny it later, but they are dead serious) are much funnier.

Florida AD may not want him but UF fans do...he is very similar to Spurrier.

If someone can win big there now, and Lane Kiffin is one of the best coaches in the country...

Why isn't he winning big?

I was about to ask if you were retarded but you just proved it. He is about to go 11-1. He had a 9 point lead @ UGA in the 4th quarter and lost. UGA has lost once since Covid at home.

What do you call winning big? Winning a NC? Well he has a chance at it this year.

I’m not in the “We don’t want Kiffin” camp. I’m in the “We aren’t getting Kiffin camp”.
