This is what I'm hearing as of right now. Norvell is still the Ole Miss plan A. There's an offer on the table that's relatively close to what FSU can do. Yes, Florida State is a better job but the fanbase is delusional in regards to the state of their program. Norvell is about to be tossed into a nearly impossible situation in Tallahassee and I think reality is setting in. I'd say it's still 65/35 that the Noles get this done.

Ole Miss is prepared to match whatever Arkansas dishes out for Kiffin. At this point it's a matter of personal preference. If/when Ole Miss offers, Kiffin will sign.

Napier winds up in Memphis. Memphis is becoming a pipeline to desirable Power 5 jobs. He's not ready to take over at Ole Miss and realizes it derails his entire career if he's shown the door at 43 years old. Memphis is set up to win big for the forseeable future. This is the practical move on Napier's behalf and he close to triples his salary in the process.

Arkansas is going to be forced to fall back on Willie Fritz. A seemingly underwhelming hire, Fritz actually could be the guy best suited to right the ship. From all accounts, he's a battle-tested veteran coach that can stabilize/build a program. That's not what Arkansas wants to hear, I'm sure, but I'd look for Fritz to be one of the better hires of this carousel when we look back 4-5 years from now.

Gonna laugh when Carter gets up there and announces Chris Kiffin as the next HC.

How sure is anyone of this? I just have a hard time feeling like we’re not going to screw this up somehow. Been trying to be level headed about all of it, but still have to remember who we are. Would not be surprised if it’s announced that the next head coach is Jason Brown..

Keith Carter is flying to Florida tonight to interview Lane. Kiffin canceled a previously scheduled radio appearance that was to take place this evening.

He recorded it early and they are playing it during the show.

Essentially

Part of me thinks this is Sexton screwing with us. I tend to think he probably has some sort of agreement with Arkansas and is wanting to see if he can milk them for a little more.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this is the case but I also am confident that Lane realizes that this is a better job.

A little less money perhaps, but we could match anything they’d offer, and we have a better roster on campus already and possess a much more desirable location for recruiting sake.

I also have to think that Lane Kiffin wouldn’t be thrilled about the prospect of having to work for Hunter Yurachek who passed on him for Major Applewhite at Houston two years ago.

This is a genius move on Sexton's part to raise Arky's contract if Lane is interested in them. Norvell seems to be FSU; I wouldn't be upset if we ended up with Napier.
