“If” Kiffin leaves before the playoff run, blame the NCAA not Lane

The NCAA’s fricked up calendar is causing him and Ole Miss to part ways during a playoff run. Eliminating the spring portal and moving signing day up to December (I know it’s the “early” signing day but 98% get signed in December) has caused all of this.
The sane thing to do would finish the entire season and still have time to sign recruits and transfers in February - May.

I'll do what I want. He would be quitting on his team to chase greener grass while giving a big middle finger to the school and fan base that allowed him to re brand his image. Which turned out to be a bullshite PR job. (Unless he stays)

Even if he stays, LK is dead to most. We have a brutal schedule. Kind of hope he stays to watch us go 6-6.
Obviously, winning cures all BUT I can't imagine a school taking him serious in their job search moving forward if he stays.

So he's only a good guy if he stays. How'd you feel about FAU and their giving him a chance to be a head coach again? He showed he had matured and they gave him that opportunity. Did he lose that rebranding of his image when he went to Ole Miss?

“It’s perfectly fine for us to take him from FAU but what LSU is doing is beyond the pale.”

I haven't looked at your schedule next year, but your schedule this year is very very favorable. It would be crazy to have such a schedule 2 years in a row, but it's hard to tell because we don't even know how good teams are going to be right now.
Texas last year had the easiest schedule in the SEC. They played the same teams this year and they have one of the more difficult ones. Adding Ohio St added to that as well.

No dumbass he coached FAU's conference title game then left before a meaningless bowl game. The fans of FAU were telling him thank you. He wasn't leaving a playoff bound team.
Completely apples to oranges.

We are a professional sport operating on an amateur calendar.
Posted on 11/20/25 at 11:29 am to 03 West CoChamps
12 teams make the playoffs each year with 12 of the most desired head coaches. How many additional teams could potentially make the playoffs with 2-3 weeks remaining? Quite a few. So how many coaches are off-limits in your opinion at this point every season? Now consider the number of playoff teams is going to increase as we slide down the playoff expansion slope.
You are holding an opinion that will not stand the test of time. In a few years you might be talking about "meaningless playoff seed" instead of "meaningless bowl game."
Coaches are going to move. You just haven't thought about it much until now.

The "NCAA calendar" doesn't seem to be bothering anybody else...

There’s a bit of a difference between a G5 coach moving to the SEC vs a sitting SEC coach going to another SEC program during a playoff run, especially a rival at that.
It isn’t that coaches shouldn’t be able to move. It’s that this calendar is so fricked up that if he waits too long, someone is left completely and totally screwed. Florida knows this as well, which is why they’re trying their damndest to put pressure on him to make a decision. Too bad Sumrall knows what that meeting was about and cancelled.

NCAA didnt fire Kelly and Napier. NCAA didnt engage in contract negotiation, hiring, firing during the course of season.
Dont blame the NCAA for your institutions dumb arse actions in not firing HCs year prior or at current year’s end. Transfer and HS signing periods are only at jeopardy because you have no HC’s and incompetent AD’s

Well, that’s not true. Plenty of people have made the same case. The distinction here is that OM is still very viable AND their coach is shopping. Show us one other team where that’s the case.

No. The calendar isn't causing anything.

It's not quite apples to apples but Sumrall has Tulane squarely in the playoff mix and is likely leaving, though it may not be until after the playoffs.

Mullen..good coach...insane how bad he was at recruiting though.

But that is one of the two most key distinctions.
1) He (ostensibly) plans to stay until after the season ends.
2) He is not (at least obviously) actively trying on new jobs in the public eye, forcing his employer and fan base to deal with the distractions and angst.
He can’t be blamed for being an object of interest. It’s how he’s handling it that’s the main difference.
