bullshite. No matter how well you drive it - you just didn't do it "Like the old guy". People's memories fade. They get nostalgic. And times change.
Never be the man that follows The Man. Taking the Alabama job will be career suicide for some unlucky fellow.

Yes, but to keep him away from a Mich, Ohio St.,FSU, TX, N.D., BAMA, MIAMI, A&M, USC(2),WASH, PSU, AU, LSU ETCETERA...they may have to be willing to reach deep into their pockets.
None of those teams would pay 8-9 to get him out of OM. Like I said, maybe 6 max. Those top programs come with a lot of perks OM can’t compete with outside of money.

Next stop is probably LSU.
You put a volatile head coach like Kiffin at a volatile institution like LSU and you've got a ticking time bomb waiting to go off imo. I think it'd be a disaster. Short term, it'd create a lot of buzz and probably be hot, but I can't see it being benefical long term, particularly to Lane.
Coach Saban once told Kiffin and Smart, "why go there as the OC or DC when in a couple of years you can have them courting you to be the headcoach."
Yes, it's quite possible kiff could end up there someday. However, if he had UM rolling and top 10-15 recruiting classes every year, he could be inclined to stay at UM if the money is right.

Because Ole Miss isn't a destination job.

Y'all got such short memories.
Miami was a shite-hole ... until Schnellenberger. Penn State ? Some dude named Paterno - with a defensive coordinator that liked Boy Scout meetings.
This ain't like a game of risk ... where you always get five armies if you hold North America. Recruiting, program reputation ... it's all fluid. A "destination job" today may not be one in ten years.
Scott Frost thought he had the "destination job". And they thought they had their man. How's that working out ?

Not necessarily. The people who are insistent on the fact that OM can’t become a top 10 program just don’t want to see it happen. Doesn’t mean that it’s not possible.

LSU has a much higher ceiling than ole miss has and he can win national titles here and he knows it.
He'll stay if he wants to raise the ceiling at Ole Miss. That would be a lot more impressive than bolting for the first "blue blood" job that comes up, even if he were successful there.

You didn't refute a single one of my points. Because you have no argument.
Today's "destination jobs" change. Gents - Harbaugh is on the hot seat at Michigan. Another "destination job" where the sure fire hire suddenly ain't working out. Same at Nebraska ... that was most certainly a "destination job" when Osborne left it.
You throw around "destination job" without being willing to admit that such a term is fluid. And ... yes ... even lofty Alabama will not be a "destination job" if the next three hires after Saban shite the bed. Hires before Saban ? Kines - Shula - Price.
And so - the reverse is also true. A coach can make his own "destination job". If it's a good fit. This ain't friggin' EA Sports on the X-Box. Certain schools don't a get a permanent "+1 buff" when recruiting. These things ebb and flow.

I think most folks realize absolutely nothing Lane has done up to this point in his career suggests he wants to be that guy.

Why don't you do the "mad, bro ?" bullshite next. If you got a point, make it. State it in a logical manner.
Or continue to be a douche.

And FYI - I've noticed this. Related not in the slightest to the current conversation about career choices for college football coaches.
There is something extremely irritating about the current generation that loves to use an emoji. If you have a point ... use your damn words. If you don't have the words - or the ability to link them - study until you do. Show some effort.

Maybe you should stop getting mad over emotes?
Nothing you said will convince anyone outside of Oxford that Ole Miss is a destination job. "Oh yeah, will Scott Frost!"

Because he is a big time coach and Ole Miss is not a big time program

Shown you several coaches that made "destination jobs" ... and several that have pissed away the same.
But hey - you know a phrase - "destination job". Not like you're ever going to question it's meaning, or how it got into circulation. That would take focused, hard concentration ... and a willingness to examine your own initial assumptions.
Much easier to spout "destination job - no" and "destination job - yes". You got a list ? Who gives a shite. If you did ... it would be self-serving. "destination job" is your trump card. If you say that - I guess all conversation is supposed to stop.

Lane is quirky enough to be a really good fit at Ole Miss...
