Is Lane petty/trashy enough to attempt to sabotage Ole Miss vs Georgia?

Working on the assumption that he doesn't actually want Ole Miss to win because it'd make him look bad and knowing that he and Kirby are friends and communicate often, do you think Kiffin would attempt to sabotage the Rebel's chances?

I'm not talking about instructing Charlie Weis Jr to throw the game or anything as nefarious as that, just to "aid" Kirby with his preparation.

I have to believe that he knows the tendencies of Golding and Weis frontwards and backwards at this point, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the team, inside and out.

No chance. Kiffin is shady but would never crush his career with something like this. He'd never get another coaching job again if this ever came to light.

I tend to lean this way, especially with the focus on fixing games and sports gambling these days.

Was just a conversation I was having with a friend who went to Ole Miss.

Not a chance.

Lane needs to play it as straight as he can right now, his image and career are on the line at LSU now.

If he fans out here doing dumb shite, who knows what’s next for him.

If he succeeds, the sky is the limit.

That is a poor assessment of this man. Kiffin is about Kiffin. No doubt he can run an offense. But he took no time between his yoga sessions and figuring out how to leave and coach the playoffs at the same time. Not to mention Chambliss should have been promoted for Heisman. Not to mention no running game last year because his best running back sat the bench for messing with his daughter.

LSU fans have no room to argue about Kiffin. You’ve been making fun for years. Easy schedule, acting like a child on social media, ridiculous antics like a basketball goal on the sidelines etc etc. I still don’t get your obsession with Ole Miss since he took the money and ran. It’s weird.

I do have to hand it to USC and Saban. Neither allowed him to burn the house down on the way out. We simply didn’t have a rational choice.

Weis doesn't have to throw the game, and Kirby needs no "aid" for his preparation. Georgia is going to skull drag Ole Miss!

Lane gave Ed Orgeron the Alabama game plan binder after the season was over when he left for FAU

Who might they be and who ever said there was a negotiation? Message board kings? The guy has been trying to leave for a bigger program since he arrived. And if an Alabama or a Michigan or Ohio State opens up and flirts with him he will do it again.

A lot of the same folks who said this:

There's been a ton of misinformation coming out of Oxford though, so who knows what is true?

Wouldn't shock me

Again...no chance but I will say that certain coaches covet certain jobs. I think the only job Kiffin would leave LSU for is Alabama....I think the only job Marcus Freeman leaves Notre Dame for is Ohio State....and Im obviously leaving out NFL jobs because college coaches will always listen to those but Freeman is already linked to the NY Giants head coaching job and I actually think he turns it down.

This isn’t new information about Bentley. It was all over the boards last year. Also spoken on the radio. Not to mention Bentley was put on the field just enough to burn his last year of eligibility. Like a handful of plays against LSU where he ran a 50 yard TD then got yanked. After we picked off a pass then ran the ball up the middle 4 plays in a row to turn the ball over. No points taken. Cost the game. I can name one crucial game after another.

W USCw, there was nothing to burn down, probation had done that, and w Saban, he didn’t have the keys to the program so that wasn’t going to happen either.

I think I see where your logic failed.

You did have a better choice but your AD blew it, by trying to strong arm Layne into signing a contract to stay. He easily could’ve let him stay and coach the playoffs, just like the offensive staff is doing.

“One example of that conflict culminated in Saban calling Sexton and threatening to fire him after becoming enraged at Kiffin’s attitude in coaches’ meetings.

Kiffin actually warned Sexton that an angry phone call from Saban was imminent after Kiffin allegedly told Saban that “he didn’t know what he was talking about,” according to AL.com.

Minutes later, the call came.

“That son of a bitch,” Saban said of Kiffin to the agent, according to a review of the book. “I’m going to fire you, Jimmy, for ever talking me into hiring that narcissistic prick.”
- “The Price: What It Takes to Win In College Football’s Era of Chaos” by Armen Keteyian and John Talty,

“On Thursday, Kiffin appeared 15 minutes late to the team's Peach Bowl media day and was the last Alabama coach to leave the event. By the time he got out of the Georgia Dome locker room to where the buses were supposed to be, they were already headed back to the team hotel in downtown Atlanta.“

Another former coworker mentioned that he, and others, wanted to physically fight Kiffin towards the end of their time together.

“By the end of our time together, I wanted to physically beat his arse,” says one former coach who worked with Kiffin. “And I wasn’t the only one.”
