Sane fans felt Lane was staying. Ole Miss fans aren't breaking some out of nowhere news.

Kiffin would only leave for Alabama or maybe another current high-level Blueblood.
So he is going to LSU. Awesome!!

Nobody is perfect dingus. ESPN was even reporting Kelly to Florida

Eli Drinkwitz is 1-9 against AP top ten teams.
All he's been lacking to reverse this number is a top shelf quarterback.
Otherwise his teams have embraced an SEC style by being gritty and showing up in the trenches.

You can't be that dumb can you ? Can you ?

All we know about Kiffin is he's not taking the Florida job.
We don't know anything about "staying" at Ole Miss.

Kiffin is quickly becoming a hallmark movie, sent to a small town as a stepping stone only to discover the magic of Christmas, reunite w his ex-wife, and figure out what true happiness is.

Kiffin might not be coming to UF, but Spivey doesn't know shite

He and his reputation benefited greatly from Mizzou playing in the SEC East.
It's true that he hasn't yet shown that he can win big games. But, that 1-9 stat does fail to show the tremendous improvement since he came to Columbia. When he arrived in 2020, Mizzou's roster was utterly devoid of talent - its talent composite ranked 50th in the country and 13th in the SEC (Vandy 14th). The entire roster had just 6 four-star or better players. So, yes he predictably went 0-4 against Top 10 teams during those first two seasons and they were all blow-outs. In 2022, he went 0-2 against Top 10 teams, but this time gave #1 Georgia a scare with a 22-26 loss.
Things did start to turn in 2023: he went 1-1, with a very close loss at #1 Georgia, 21-30, and a win over #7 Ohio State. In 2025, Mizzou has gone 0-2 against Top 10 teams, losing by a combined 10 points in games that literally came down to the one-inch line.
So yes, he's not been good in the biggest moments, but holding those bad losses in the first couple seasons against him is more of a reflection of Odom's atrocious recruiting that an indictment of Drinkwitz's coaching. We've also yet to have an elite QB under Drink, which is of course at least partially his fault, but injuries have been pretty cruel to Mizzou the past couple seasons.
ETA: Put more simply, in his first three seasons before he had a chance to improve the awful roster, Mizzou went 0-6 against Top 10 teams with an average margin of -26 points. Since 2023, Mizzou is 1-3 against Top 10 teams with an average margin of -3.

I'll post what I did on the Gator board:
quote:
Drink to me is the worst possible candidate.
#1 He would be extremely expensive. He already makes $9 million a year. Paying him $13-15 million a year would be idiotic, especially due to the reasons below.
#2 He would not satisfy my main criteria for the next coach which is firing up the fanbase. Napier sucked all the juice out of the program. We need someone who will get the Swamp rocking, boosters donating money, and impressing recruits. Drink does not have the attitude or demeanor to do that. He would immediately piss off half the fanbase or more. He seems like a mix of Mullen and Mac, which is potentially the worst possible combination of attitudes.
#3 From an X's and O's standpoint, I am not sure how much of his success is due to Kirby Moore. Nothing seems overly impressive.
Due to this, I think he has both the lowest ceiling and lowest floor of the potential coaches. And he would be too expensive to fire quickly. A Drink regime would have the potential for kneecapping us until the 2040's.

Spivey hasn’t had connections in decades.

You would immediately go from one of our most disliked fan bases to our best friends. You would likely not survive the insane party we would throw for you in the Grove in a few weeks.

What candidates do this? Your "insiders" have beat the Kiffin and only Kiffin drum for weeks. Anyone else will feel like a let down and the next guy will be climbing up hill from day one. I for one and here for it.

This is patently false.

Fisch wouldn't be terrible as an alumni for it, especially on the booster side. Someone out of left field like Lincoln Riley would work. A good coordinator (Stein or Hartline) might work depending on staff hires.
