re: Am I the only one that thinks the longer the Kiffin thing goes, the better the chance OM

Good point, Drydock. That's kind of the way I feel. Lane's been so cryptic about it and then even seems to enjoy the teasers from his kids and his daily writings or whatever they are...deep thoughts by Jack Handy????
I think if he and Ole Miss end up working out a deal, the damage control can be mitigated pretty quickly as long as they do well in the playoff, and especially if they win it all. It's really the players, fans, and the school admin I feel most for because they're having their hearts toyed with and put on hold.
There's no great way to tell a fanbase and players you're looking to leave, but the cat's out of the bag, so there's no sense in denying it and playing coy with what you're going to do. Does he really not know where he's going? Possible, but I think he's got a deal already in place at Florida or LSU, and it's being kept hush.
Still, it sucks to have a major program offer you an opportunity when the other schools in question snubbed their noses at you just 4 years ago, but you know coaches egos, so it's not shocking..

That's certainly a possibility. Up until a week or so ago, I was certain he would be going to Florida, but LSU seems to have made it tough for Kiffin to say 'No'.
Ole Miss seems like a great job, and he's highly regarded there (for now, at least), and it looks like they're willing to pay up if needed. Some of the overtures coming from the athletic department at Ole Miss also indicate a possible happy outcome for them, but I'm still skeptical he stays.
You know, most coaches, though, their egos tell them they can achieve anywhere at any time and won't hesitate to walk into a pressure cooker job.
