re: Can't turn a hoe into a housewife, hoes don't act right

There’s video of Layla and Angela( Chris’s Wife) and Chris’s kids getting off the plane in Baton Rouge Monday morning.

I honestly think there is one way out of this that is best for both parties. We amend the extension offer to a 2 year deal with a massive buyout for him leaving earlier than that. Agree to end it all in two years. He can leave Oxford on good terms. Stupid teams will be lining up and firing coaches to bring him on. His reputation would stay in tact and our program would be better off as well.

Link?

I haven't seen anything that is identifiable. Would like to see what you've seen that is.

My opinion is still that he is gone. I hope I'm wrong. But he created this nonsense in '25 by his behavior in '22. Fool me once, shame on you, but Keith Carter won't be fooled again.

Same. I think he goes to LSU.

Hey guys, I pulled this from the LSU 247 board. (I need to remember to cancel 247 soon. I already invested my $1.)

Anyway, it's pretty interesting as there is NO confidence on their side either.

The "Lane Train" could not be in higher demand. Lane Kiffin is staring down three very attractive offers with no real wrong answers in his mind. This will come down to what does he want?

The options that Kiffin is weighing right now are pretty cut and dry. It's staying at Ole Miss, a place where he's built a strong connection and has the freedom to do what he wants in building out teams the way he sees fit. From a football perspective, there's very little not to like about LSU as the best job Kiffin is considering. Then there's the familiarity of being back in a state like Florida where he's spent a lot of time, looked up to Steve Spurrier and has familial ties to the program as well.

Making a prediction sure feels like fool's gold at this stage because it can really go in one of three directions without it being a shock either way. But let's break down where our heads are at right now.

First and foremost, it does appear a decision is imminent. Whether it comes within the week or days remains unclear but what can't be argued is that Ole Miss wants and needs an answer sooner than later. Kiffin, of course, wants to coach this Ole Miss team in meaningful games.

How those two statements clash will be interesting because there is a world where Kiffin doesn't want to make that decision and forces the Rebels' hand. But let's work under the assumption that a decision comes before the Nov. 28 kickoff against Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl.

LSU could very well leave a winner with this Kiffin decision no matter what he decides. If it's the Tigers, then they have their leader of the program well in advance of some major mile markers through the month of December and into the early part of January. The Tigers could secure its 2026 recruiting class on Dec. 3 and then have several weeks to build out the staff in the way Kiffin would want, have conversations with players on the current roster and be set up for the portal cycle on Jan. 2 when that opens.

Should Kiffin choose to stay at Ole Miss or announce his attention to be the head coach at Florida, it gives LSU time to adjust course and start honing in further on its pool of candidates. That's not a bad place to be considering the alternative, which was potentially having to walk a fine line between waiting Kiffin out until Ole Miss' playoff run is over before ramping up the heat on that pursuit.

There's an element of this that is just so public, which gives me some hesitancy. Kiffin's agent Jimmy Sexton is one of the best power players in the business when it comes to pitting schools and offers against one another during the courting process. He maximizes the profit of all his clients but rarely does it get so public like these last few days have shown.

A part of me feels this is one big giant power play from

Sexton and Kiffin to getting the absolute best deal on the table. But there's a part that makes me truly believe Kiffin is torn on this decision, that he loves the idea of coaching in one of the bigger venues in college football with the kind of resources that have led to championships in the not too distant past. So which line of thought wins out?

For me, personally I can't get past a coach electing to not coach his team in the college football playoff. Kiffin is a different cat than most and there's absolutely reason for him to look at LSU, Ole Miss and Florida and know that staying in Oxford is maybe not the most beneficial for long term success of the options available to him.

But he has the chance to compete for a deep postseason run right now. Does he want as a part of his resume, to be the first coach to up and leave a program that is one of the last 12 standing for another job? That will happen eventually because of the timeline that we're now on with coaching cycles being sped up because of the calendar.

The bottom line is, there are very, very few people who actually know where the wind is blowing on this decision. All we can really do is read the tea leaves on this situation as it currently stands.

What it tells us is that this is going to have an answer sooner than later. If I were a betting man, I'd bet against Kiffin being the first to break that cycle and leave Ole Miss for an LSU or Florida. My completely educated guess would be Kiffin stays put, some kind of contract agreement is put in place with the Rebels and he's coaching the team he's built the last five years for this moment in the college football playoff.

You can respond with the contract extension that's reportedly been on Kiffin's desk for weeks now or the fact he hasn't pounded his fist when given every opportunity to say he's not leaving Oxford. All very valid points that don't add up to a coach wanting to stay at his current program of employment and don't warrant much of an argument from me.

Again, Kiffin staying might not be the worst scenario for the Tigers. This could be the wrong way to look at it but Kiffin staying and LSU knowing that piece of information, would still give the purple and gold the requisite time to find the next leader of the program. They'd be able to begin that next phase of the coaching search with both eyes looking forward.

In the same breath, we could very well be having a conversation two weeks from now about how Kiffin is filling out his staff in Baton Rouge. Because in the end, guessing what Kiffin ultimately decides is fool's gold.

But giving our thoughts on the matter midway through week four of the Tigers' search needed to be outlined.

It's wild that the LSU pay board mods think he stays at OM, and the OM pay board mods think he is taking the LSU job.

Kiffin has built a reputation in all of this as someone that cannot be trusted and will frick people over.

The attitude of both Ole Miss and LSU insiders tells me it’s between those two and Florida is out. Florida is still sitting in the corner acting like he’s theirs

Or Florida has everyone else fooled and they are the only ones who are confident for a reason

Thanks for sharing that. Yeah, anyone that is saying "done deal" right now are just full of sh*t. What is frustrating, as an Ole Miss fan, is knowing that the players and recruits aren't dumb and they are reading all of this and it's detrimental for the program. If Lane intends to say, he could end the charade easily. But, I don't think he truly knows what he's wanting. It's weird - yesterday I felt like he would be staying, but today, I'm feeling differently on it. I do agree with that article - we'll know sooner rather than later on what the plan is.

ETA: the media is all on Ole Miss's side. If Kiffin leaves, or allows this to drag out and causes us to miss the CFP as a result, that reputation he's worked so hard fix will take a major hit.
