unlike oxford right? There's more to the area than South Beach. Miami is positioned just like USC. All it would take is the right coach.

Lane Kiffin, would reportedly leave Oxford for the University of Miami if the Hurricanes head coaching job were to open, according to a tweet from Andy Slater of Fox Sports and iHeartRadio based on multiple sources close to Kiffin.

If he ever grows up and matures, plus learns about commitment, he could be a very dangerous head coach.

Why didn't any of the major programs steal Lane Kiffin from Ole Miss?
Miami won a NC in 2001.
20 years ago...
quote:
That’s after TN was relevant.
Fair I missed it by 3 years. I guess you got me.
quote:
Remind me again when OM won a NC?
Ole Miss and Miami have the exact same amount of national championships during the life-span of the kids being recruited.
quote:
Miami can get better players, much better city, easier path to the playoffs and just as many fans in the stadium if they are good (neither OM nor Miami get a ton of fan support).
quote:
The right coach can have Miami contending for a playoff spot every year just off local talent.
but they haven't.....in 20 years.
So thanks for trying to nit-pick my post which allowed me to further prove my point.

Miami had a great run which has only been rivaled a few times in history. They weren't just good - they were great. They won four national championships in eight seasons.
Ole Miss fans should realize, those were much different times. We were pretty bad arse once as well, then some shite happened
quote:
The 2001 Miami team is routinely listed as one of if not the greatest college football teams of all time.
Like this actually means something or is even provable. They were good for the year they were in.
Are the 72 Dolphins the best NFL team ever

I don't understand why his name isn't being mentioned for the Oklahoma opening, unless everyone is just assuming that Brent Venables is already the coach and he just hasn't been named yet.
OU already has the players on the offensive side of the ball for Lane to walk into success, and they have at least another year in the dying B12 before moving to the SEC for him to fix their defensive issues. He took Ole Miss to 10 regular season wins in 2 years with just a COVID recruiting class.
If Venables is OU's next HC, why hasn't he been named yet? Clemson isn't playing in the ACC CG or CFP. If LSU can snatch a coach that still has a shot a playing in the CFP, I don't see why OU couldn't do it, unless they are too busy setting fire to Lincoln Riley's houses.
Lane to OU makes a lot of since especially if Alabama moves to the SEC-E and I don't think anyone has even spitballed OU and Alabama being in the same pod.

20 years.
Arkansas went through a bad stretch in basketball as well but we see what a coach can do to a top 20 all time program.
Muss got us to elite 8 in year two, Ranked #10 right now and #2 class for 2022
Miami with the right coach can be a contender every year. OM can’t do that.
Yes Miamis last title was 20 years ago but OM has never won an outright title in any Mens sport much less football.
OM has never even played for the conference championship in the 30 years it been around.
Biggest factor is Kiffin would prefer the Miami life over Oxford life and even OM fans know that. He was even on a podcast in Miami during the season talking about how much he missed the salt life and it was so bad he had to come on an apologize before OM fans heard it. Was basically dogging life in MS
You don’t even want to try and compare the NIL deals he could get going in Miami compared to MS
Miami is where rich people and celebrities go. They aren’t going to MS. I’m sure most MS fans haven’t been and only go to Gulf Shores but if you ever stumble across an extra $10k for a few days you will understand how fun Miami really is. Can’t be broke and have fun in Miami

Honestly, because no one got far enough down their list. LSU would have hired him, but he’d have been after quite a few misses.

What is the FedEx connection?
His kids didn’t go there and are Memphis fans.
Fred is a Memphis fan and Memphis fans and OM don’t mix.
FedEx is giving NIL deals to Memphis basketball players. They aren’t giving them to OM kids

FedEx is a huge supporter of Ole Miss, making frequent large donations to both the school and athletic programs. Our student athlete success center is sponsored by FedEx.
I don't know why I'm responding to a Golfer1 post, but I am.

Oklahoma is about to walk into the SEC, that probably scares a bunch of coaches. It is pretty much proven Oklahoma does not have the players to compete in the SEC.
The Big 12 talent pool is not the same as the SEC and OU and Texas are about to have an awakening.
I have been to both as well -- Oxford > Norman. Talking about cities here, not programs.

Oxford is a great town. Amazing. I wish Athens was more like it TBH. I don't think the quaintness of a college town is a factor though. I know Ole Miss has made a lot of investments in facilities recently and they are working an upgrade to VHS, but how does that compare to OU's facilities?
Not a gotcha question, because I legitimately do not know how OU's facilities would compare to the SEC.
Posted on 12/1/21 at 12:18 pm to Murph4HOF
lol they’ve donated $3M or less.
They spend that in half a year at the University of Memphis.
If they donated enough the OM facilities wouldn’t be some of the worst in the conference
They’ve donated more to HBCUs in MS than they have OM

Are you really trying to compare basketball turnaround to football?

Saying historically good programs can be turned around with the right coach.
Miami is that in football. Have all of the resources needed to be good with the right coach.
Not every program can win a title in football with the right coach

All y’all talking about his “immaturity.” What I think you really mean is that he’s not a joyless, dried-up old man.
