Cool. He won’t be in Gainesville in 2025. Keep hoping. We have heard this every offseason. Everyone said Lane was a hired gun and would get out as soon as possible. None of that happened.

You can’s disagree but you are wrong. Good luck with Gus.

Find me any evidence of any school admitting they tried to hire someone and didn’t get them? It doesn’t exist.

But people are knowledgeable in coaching searches and if you follow it every year, you know what happened. You don’t have to believe it. But it’s true.

You said there was 100% evidence this was true. What happened in the span of three posts to change your mind?

Ok man. You win. Good luck with Gus. Lane ain’t leaving for Florida. Ask Auburn and Miami fans. We have been here before.

I didn't say he was leaving for Florida.

But I will say there's 100% evidence you're talking out of your arse.

I mean, according to tRant he was gone 3 years ago, but yet…..

Look, Kiffin will leave at some point, maybe after this season. But he has stayed at OM longer than anybody thought he would (including me). I never thought he could have multiple 10 win seasons and still be our coach. As I’ve stated in other threads, we will enjoy it while it lasts….simple as that.

I'd say that's a good outlook to have.

Better than "he will never leave except for the most elite of jobs and there is 100% evidence he turned down a bunch of offers"

Are you familiar with our roster this year? We have the 2nd or 3rd most talented roster in the conference. Georgia isn’t coming open anytime soon. What other options are there? He has been better at OM that Huepel has been at Tenn. What does that say about the Tennessee program?


Florida has better recruiting and the NIL would follow him. He could have everything thing Ole Miss with a better more consistent roster.

As to the Tennessee roster. Where do you feel Ole Miss has an advantage? I’m genuinely curious, non troll, about this.
Look at Kiffins first 3 vs Heupels first 3.

Florida would be fine this year if they had Ole Miss’s schedule.

The biggest advantage Ole Miss has is Lane vs Josh….I mean, Lane and Ole Miss literally beat Josh in Knoxville when Josh had a better roster. And please don’t try to tell me that 2021 Ole Miss had better players than Tennessee.

2021 roster had 47 scholarship players learning a new system and it still took the refs cheating twice for Ole Miss to scratch out a win*

QB Dart vs Nico. Dart has the experience but Nico has the talent. Push to start the season

WR? W Vols 5 man rotation and it’s not that close

TE push neither have done anything

DL? Vols all day long not close

OLB preseason push

CB or Safety I would have agreed on because the Vols replaced everyone and are an unknown. But the rest? No. Vols front 7 are a top 5 in the country. And Vols WR room is stacked. QB would require a couple of injuries. Dart is a very serviceable QB and Kiffin has him playing well above his ceiling but 4 to 1 td to Int and 65% completions in Kiffins system is meh. Let’s look at QB again after the season
