If he's leaving he will not be allowed to handicap our program because of his personal fee fees. Keith is doing exactly what should be done and either way we will be okay. Only a fat frick like Sexton thinks you get to have your cake and eat it too.

I have full faith in Keith to not allow that to happen. Let’s say we beat State in the Egg Bowl, but Lane still refuses to sign his extension because he’s already decided he’s leaving after the playoff run. At that point he’s no longer recruiting for Ole Miss - he’s recruiting for himself and whatever job he’s headed to next. That would set the program back years.
Keith has to hold him accountable. The right move is to immediately suspend Lane with pay, thank him for his contributions, and move forward with the search for our next head coach. He has to protect the University and the program.
It's like if a CEO has a sales guy that's one of the best salesmen out there. You catch wind that he's being courted by other companies and you ask him about it and he won't commit to staying with your company. Do you let him continue to call your customers? Every sales call he makes, every client dinner he hosts, everyone he wines and dines… he’s not doing it to help your company, but to poach them and take them with him to his new company. All of that being done using your company's resources.

Pickle's motion is seconded.

I agree, but this decision is a lot harder than that. How much money do we lose out on by not hosting or making the playoff? Say Tulane doesn't make the playoff, you can name Sumrall the coach and have him focused on recruiting while Lane coaches the team. I'm definitely against having him continue to coach if he's leaving, but it's a tough decision for KC. How do you tell these players, I know your coach didn't value this team or season the way he should, but we also don't want to put this team and season above our future so we're not going to allow this even if it hurts this team. A lot of negative press will be out there if Kiffin and any new team is willing to let him continue to coach and we cost ourselves by saying no.
Kiffin goes on twitter or on a show and says he's willing to be boo'd the entire game, throw mustards at him etc.. , but just show up and support the players, they deserve it. Makes him look like a damn martyr and makes us look bad if we say no.

He is already attempting to get ahead of this with his Egg Bowl tweet today. But the program is bigger than any one season or any one coach, regardless of how much missed financial opportunity of a home playoff game. If he won't commit to us, I hope Keith tells him to have his office cleaned out by Monday.

Just win the whole damn thing and I don’t care if we get an SMU level death penalty afterwards.

We've talked about this before. Jimmy just wants to buy that island in the Caribbean next to the island that he already owns. It's a tick larger and has an additional mile and a half of beach front. For God's sake the man has kids to feed D !

Yeah he wants a new island given the bad publicity of his other one that he co-owned with a guy named Jeffrey.

This is so damn unlikely.
What's far more likely is Lane refuses to sign the extension and does not sign anything with another school. We couldn't fire him for cause, accordingly, and we'd remain in the dark.
This is Sexton's true leverage point.

That’s how you force his hand

On what grounds exactly? He won't sign an extension? That's not an "offense" whatsoever. You'd be setting yourself up for litigation and, quite literally, pushing Lane into LSU's open arms. Oh, and if we decide to fire him because he won't sign an extension, go ahead and get that buyout money ready.
This is the point everyone has been glossing over. We can huff and puff all we want, but we can't make him sign an extension. Unless there is some credible evidence he was doing something to violate his contract (his wife and brother allegedly visiting different cities is certainly not that), we are powerless to force him to sign the extension unless he wants to.
This is why the longer this goes on, the better it is for us, because if we can keep winning and, Lord willin' and the creek don't rise, make the playoff seminfinals (at least), LSU and Florida will have had to move on and sign a coach by then.

Exactly. He wouldn't have a claim except for Unlawful Hurting of my Wee Wittle Feewings.

Where is RebelGator with his words of affirmation, we need it again.
We all want to print the "Year 7" shirts.

His contract has language allowing us to do just that, if he’s decided to engage in talks with other schools without written notice, he’s in breach.
Guess what comes off when he signs the new one… this is his golden ticket deal.
Year 7, bitches.

All of us are speculating about what his contract says anyways.

According to On3, whose story was adopted by Newsweek, he has given us this notice.
I don't think y'all know what y'all are talking about.
Do you really think Jimmy Sexton, the best agent in the world, would let his client violate his contract like that or violate his client's contract like that on his own?
Y'all can't really think that. Cmon.

We have to have a legitimate reason to suspend him that's either spelled out in his contract or a violation of law.
Being "distracting" to the football team certainly isn't.
