Why would Lebby leave Oxford when he will have one of the best returning QBs in the nation? For Bo Nix? He would have Ealy at RB and JRP in the slot. If he has a normal offseason he could set SEC records next year all over the place, dont really see that at auburn right now. Lebby could parlay next year into a head coaching job, but he would trade that to rebuild auburn?

While anything is possible, I'd say there is 99%+ chance it is a baseless troll given rumors (fan and media) of Bama's possible interest in Lebby, and AU's coaching hire debacle and Kiffin rumors there.
That said, unless there is friction between Lebby and Kiffin, poaching a staff member for same position off of a divisional rival isn't the best way for a new coach to fit in with HC fraternity.
Based on Lebby's post-bowl win tweet, I'm guessing he is happy where he is:

Lebby interviewed but he hasn't accepted anything. I actually don't think it would be the right fit for either as they run different schemes.
My guess is that Lebby sticks around Ole Miss for another year and then takes a G5 HC job.

Corral pre-Lebby and Kiffin was not remotely what he turned out to be this year. There is likely a school of thought that if Corral took a big step forward, Nix could too under the right coach (not certain that would happen, but it could). And Auburn is not hurting at the skill positions at all.
The Auburn OC job is better than the Ole Miss OC job and likely gives you more options for a future head coaching job in the near future.

no doubt. The offense in 2021 will be scary good.

I don’t know why any OC would go to Lane. He calls the plays and it’s his offense correct? I figured he could get a young bright OC to come in and learn.

Personally, I think the only reason Lebby would leave for an OC position would be to get out of Lane's shadow. No matter how much success we have, Lane will always likely get credit regardless if he calls plays or not.
I could see Lebby getting a head coaching gig in the near future and leaving. I would hope he is still in Oxford when Lane decides to move on and would get a serious look for our job.

If it wasn’t for 4th and 25 and yalls dirty play on tread well we would have been in the conference championship

Lol calling a coaching search that lasted a week a debacle.

There's your problem. Listened to all the noise and the "insiders" who don't exist at Auburn. Harsin was one of a few targets the entire time.

Dirty play? You mean a tackle? What dirty play are you referring to?

I guess this is true but simply because the refs hand you the game

Might be a little Nutt hurt still, but still that whole season exemplifies WAOM. We just needed to win one of those game

Lane Kiffin is a fartsniff away from being someone else’s coach. He won’t be at Ole Miss long
