re: 2025 Coaching Search thread

So perhaps Lincoln Riley instead?

Yeah, that’s pretty much spot on. Sexton is a piece of shite.


Only thing, he wasn’t in the Friday meeting.


And to be quite blunt, it’s going to be fricking awful when his ego doesn’t let him walk away from a playoff shot and then he’s stuck here after all the shite he’s just pulled. Only thing that could be more on brand is him staying and OM losing the Egg Bowl and missing the playoff.

K

He signs or he doesn’t coach again, nobody seems to have a firm date though. I’ve heard this Friday, Sunday, and all the way until Thursday afternoon. OM boosters and KC are sick of this shite and done playing games with Sexton. There are contingencies in place already.


Something to keep in mind, the stuff with Auburn played out very similarly to this with Jimmy squeezing OM for everything. Part of the deal going forward was Jimmy wasn’t handling this stuff anymore. Clearly, he’s back after a 2 year hiatus.

Uh I don’t know because he literally wasn’t supposed to be. Lane had someone else (someone I know) at CAA handling any and all matters until mid September this year. Even Lane was mad at him about Auburn. He was leaking stuff and making deals without consulting Lane. I’m sure he won’t ever do that to the school Lane is at going forward though….

I’m just glad the OM side is finally telling Jimmy to kick rocks regardless of how this ends up.

I don’t think you understand how heated that whole thing got the first time. His arse wasn’t allowed in the athletic department. At all.

https://nypost.com/2016/08/07/famed-agent-mike-ovitz-ruled-hollywood-like-a-mafia-don/ here is an article about one of the founders of CAA. It shows what type of company they are and their culture.

I’m sure the athletic department was really angry with Sexton and didn’t want anything to do with him but the fact is that when you’re dealing with CAA they will lie and leverage any advantage. They have to get their way when they want it.

Edit: I know ovitz is no longer with the company because he got forced out by some other snakes, but the picture of what the company culture is like is illustrated by him

Right now it seems like he lied to the admin and people that have given him everything he’s asked for every single time he’s asked.

idk what he said directly to OM or anyone in the dept there. I think it’s fair to consider offers when you suddenly become the hottest name in the game. Again i don’t know what he’s said or promised but it’s a hard spot to be in. I think he genuinely likes Oxford but it’s hard to resist temptation when it’s beating on your door from all directions 24/7

But regarding PR it probably would have been better without the espn special being released earlier this season that is for sure

These past few days have been disrespectful as hell to Ole Miss on Lane's part. If I was them he damn sure wouldn't be allowed to coach the Miss St game if he is leaving.
