Hey, no argument. If Kiffin, who has said money is not his motivator, actually is motivated to be able to "win less", I have no problem with him staying at OM. We don't want that mentality here. We just got rid of someone that only cared about the money and comfort.

What you fail to see is that I completely understand everything you are saying and it is human nature to think that way, unless you are driven to be great. Then other factors other than comfort enter the equation.

I guess you think Kiffin would be stupid to come here, and that is fine.

I think there is a good chance he bolts, (with my biggest hesitation being timing because of the playoffs), because he wants to be considered great and his comments over the years allude to the fact that he knows he needs more talent to get over the hump.

Tons of posters say he with come here because the pay is the same at OM (who knows the truth on that)

But, you think he’s going to the nfl to take a massive pay cut?

I disagree with that.

If he can win at OM, and can get the money he can get here, why would he leave?

---

Hold up Roger, I responded to your post that said,

quote:

---

Lane can make as much money at OM, and win less.

---

So which is it? Win at OM or win Less at OM?

I contend that Lane can not win a natty at OM. He has put together the best rosters that OLE MISS can, and those rosters are rated Top 20-30 every year. He will never have the depth there.

Only once this century has a team with a roster outside the Top 10 won a national championship and that was Michigan at #14.

They will not win this year despite a great job by Lane to get them into the playoffs.

LSU rosters are consistently ranked Top10 and has 3 championships this century because of it and good coaching.

He will not win a championship at OM and if he comes here it will be because he knows it.

Man, we have some creative fan fiction writers here.

Salute!

Roger....

Are you going to respond to my question?

quote:

---

If he does pull the trigger and leave for LSU or UF, why do you think he will have chosen to do so?

---

A sign of intelligence and emotional stability is the ability to hold two competing thoughts in one's brain.

Let me show you how it is done...

Why would Lane stay at OM?

-He likes it there
-He feels he can accomplish his goals there
-Maybe he has grown complacent and doesn't want change
-He fears a new challenge and getting fired sooner
(I am giving examples and will not argue for them)

Why would Lane leave for LSU or UF?

-Feels he can not just make the playoffs but can win championships because he can build more talented and deeper rosters(this if backed by facts looking at the 247 Sports Talent Composite)
-Looks at the program as a Tier above OM
-Wants to be part of a bigger program, with more fans, bigger stadium, and a bigger brand
-Thinks coming to one of these programs will give himself a better chance to become a coach in the conversation of being one of the bests ever.
-Looking for a new challenge
-More NIL revenue

Again, you have be adamant that he would not come here for reasons listed.

Why would he if you had to argue for it?

Winning coaches can win at Ole mIss

Not gonna win a National Championship.

I bet he's just as tired of hearing, "what has he won?" as the rest of us.

You have given all the reasons on why Lane will not come here.

If he does pull the trigger and leave for LSU or UF, why do you think he will have chosen to do so?

quote:

---

The Fans will destroy whoever is hired in record time, regardless of who is hired.

The LSU fanbase has a reputation and its not incorrect.

The hatred of all coaches on this board is pathetic.

---

And winning coaches know this and want to be in that fire.

You think Jay Johnson came to LSU thinking, "I am so afraid if I don't win quickly they will fire me."

Loser mentality you have.

Whoever comes here will come knowing they must perform and they will come thankful that they have the chance to reach legendary status by winning a national championship.

quote:

Do you think NIL affects these trends?

---

Marginally.

The same schools that were winning championships still have big advantages and very good NIL revenue to spend.

Those schools have much deeper rosters with much better overall talent.

Because of the format, some smaller programs will get in the playoff and one has to wonder if those teams really should be there based on who they are playing during the year.

In the end, the teams playing and winning the national championship will almost always be teams with Top 10 Roster talent. Not a team like Kiffin had last year that had 8 or so great players but then a wider spread in talent on the rest of the team, that was ranked as 20th in Roster talent by 247.

he has very little interest in coaching again

He had very little interest when he left ND. Woodward did not do enough due diligence to know he was already telling people around him that he was going to coach 2-3 more years.

This thread is hilarious. Seeing the ignorance of posters regarding Kelly getting paid to not understanding that the $30 million NIL mentioned is revenue share+ NIL (which makes the $30 easily achievable) to thinking anyone knows what the hell Kiffin will do in the end.

Comical.
