Functionally, there's no difference between Sumrall coaching Tulane in the playoff and Kiffin coaching Ole Miss, just functionally speaking.


And we heard Sumrall’s comments on how that transpired on a functional basis.

On a practical basis there was a universal difference in what Tulane as an institution was willing to allow and what Ole Miss was willing to allow. Ole Miss was transparent on how things would proceed depending on Kiffin’s commitment to one institution or the other.

There’s a common phrase that’s applicable to situations such as these “no one man can serve two masters”

You do realize Kiffin was our coach


Kiffin did balloon a little bit when he got off the booger sugar and replaced it with alcohol.

Sure, but I doubt Lane understands the nuances of the rivalry, same conference, etc, as it relates to this discussion. Those are mostly emotions and feelings vs functional hindrances.

I think his ability or inability to tamper either way was grossly exaggerated. I'd have been more worried about his focus, or lack thereof.

I really don't think the CFP appearance looks vastly different either way though.

How dare you talk about the Jimmy Swaggart 2.0 like that!

He’s at his 4th different institution within the SEC. He absolutely understands. I understand it can be difficult to treat him as an adult because he has to rely on others to clean up his mess (Monte, Saban, Pete Carroll, Orgeron, CAA, U Tenn. wreck clean up crew, etc…) however, he cosplays as an adult so we should all treat him as such.

I mean if Lane were to ask you personally what the problem with him coaching the playoff was, what would you say?

You’re either in or you’re out. Can’t half arse as a leader. To even consider raising this as a possibility shows the lack of decency.

The institution said no
The players said no
I say he can get lost and get fukd

Is this thread really needed again? Even LSU’s AD said that he’d have done the same thing. Sumrall said coaching Tulane and Florida at the same time was a shitshow that he wouldn’t want to repeat.

You can say this is trolling, but it’s just boring at this point. Literally nothing can be added to the conversation that’s been going on ad nauseum since late November 2025. It’s almost June.

He would've said he wasn't going to half arse it.

I understand why Ole Miss said no, you understand why Ole Miss said no. I think he's too close to the situation and too biased to see it though.

Half arse is all you got when you’re already out the door.

Whether he can comprehend that, or not, is of no consequence. The employee doesn’t get to dictate to the employer.

Idiot LSU fans can’t comprehend the concept of non-competes in the professional world.


Neither do you apparently. Do you think any coach or their agent would agree to a non-compete agreement? Lmao. It’s exactly why they have buy outs.
