It will suck for his son since he's the starting QB at the HS there in Oxford. I'm sure he's living like a king at that HS. But such is the life of a coach's son.

Hopefully they aren't crazy enough to hire Drinkwitz.

The LSU, Florida, and Auburn jobs aren't going to stay open until Christmas or after the New Year. Kiffin isn't going to pass up on the CFP, especially in a year that is a wide-open as this year.


But this isn't how it works. Arrangements are made behind closed doors and the coach rarely has to do much.

Say Penn State reached out and kiffin said yeah I'm interested. They start working details with Sexton so it's all on paper. People who need to know are told something is coming. When the season is over it's turnkey.

Jon Gruden has said that he would love to coach in the SEC. I could see LSU or Florida going after someone like him. He won a super bowl in the NFL and I think he could connect with young men.
With all these coaches openings , how many good coaches are out there to get?

He's almost BK's age, hasn't coached in four years and never coached college.

Seems like a bad idea.

Jon Gruden has a better shot going to Arkansas.

How old is the ol' Ball Coach? An interim like that could keep a recruiting class together for the wait though I know he's to old to be a long term solution. Kirby v. Spurrier would be amazing next week

Only problem with that is that December 5-18 is prime recruiting time... so you need to have a coach in place for that... and if Ole Miss makes the playoffs, Lane would have to either leave Ole Miss before the playoffs or miss out on recruiting for his new time.

To sum up... he ain't going anywhere. He just isn't.

A lot of people aren’t thinking about the fact that he and Layla are back together.


Oh wow, they are? I thought he was dating some young grad student or something.

If LSU truly wants Kiffin then one month will not be an impediment

If?

It is a given he is staying. Not sure who either of us are going to get.

Why would you go to LSU or Florida where you will get fired on a hair trigger?


Because they will pay you $70 million to leave.

The portal is only open in January now, brother. You kind of have to have someone in place or next season is done already.
