He was the reason they didn't want Lacy, so it's a little surprising.
I generally agree with your post, but I think LSU is safe from ever having to worry about another major university considering hiring Lane again. This will be his last job one way or another.
I think those are the right top two. After that, I think Ole Miss, Oklahoma, and Bama could all be there with some luck.

There's almost no such thing anymore as a team that doesn't need some luck to win the SEC. It's borderline whether there still exist teams that can make the playoffs without some luck. We needed it last year and got it. The only year we really should have made the playoffs regardless of good or bad luck was 2024, but that's not accounting for the bad luck of Kiffin's girlfriend breaking up with him when we really needed him to be focused.

I can't get my head around this new era of Bama football. Last year they look like they were going to suck, and then they made the championship game and the playoffs. I'm just going to assume they remain a major favorite every year until something proves that wrong.
There will definitely be a dropoff in offensive gameplanning. Baker might be a dropoff in playcalling compared to Weiss but probably about the same. We'll miss the handful of big plays per game that came off of LK play calls.

On the other side of the ball, we now have a HC who is investing in defensive players instead of blowing the whole budget on 10 WRs.

It'll be a very different team with different strengths, but I don't think we'll be any worse. If another year of experience for Chambliss and Lacy can offset the dropoff in offensive coaching, we'll be a much better team this year than last. If not, we'll be about the same but with very different strengths.
wasn't this the year they decided they couldn't in good conscience keep all that money and split it between an Omaha and an Oxford food bank?

This is useful data.

Very good research. Thank you.

I'm not going to begrudge anybody their algorithm bubble, but if you think the average Ole Miss fan is worked up about this, you are wrong. Some people are mad at Dabo and Saban for trying to make us look bad, but that is about the extent of it. Twitter is feeding you the content you enjoy.
Took me a second to realize you were talking about softball and not just on drugs.

For women's sports, I always just root for whoever's more attractive. In softball that changes every at bat based on pitcher vs batter. I even rooted for LSU once for about 5 innings straight until our uggos finally drove the hotty they had on the mound out of the game.
This might be the dumbest analogy yet.

I will give you 100 Internet dollars if you can give me one example of a CEO leaving his company for a direct competitor and being allowed to stick around for a couple months to finish a project before leaving.
Yes, just like Arkansas was our Super Bowl last year and Kentucky the year before that.

Pretty smart of us to always choose the crappiest conference opponent on the home schedule for our super bowl.

Hopefully our new coach doesn't crumble under the pressure of the easy stripe out super bowls the way our last coach always seemed to.
4 months ago, no one outside of Oxford thought he was an elite coach. Most wouldn't have even called him great. People just thought he was entertaining and most had come around to thinking he was likeable.

Then 2 high profile jobs came open and not a single other decent coach in the country was shitty enough to entertain leaving their teams so the media had to spin up this narrative of him being a game changer for someone so they'd have something BIG to talk about.

He's a great coach. He had great chemistry at Ole Miss that he probably won't replicate again. Sucks for us. Sucks worse for him. Sucks most for LSU.
I still think he's the greatest QB in the history of our program. Maybe all of college football.

His deep ball accuracy was insane.
Our best team ever was last year, and your current coach managed to lose 3 games with them, all 3 to inferior programs, 2 where he was a double digit favorite.
Not a single one of you believes deep down that Lane would have won the sugar bowl, and it torments you.

The fact that so many idiots think Vegas makes money by being able to magically predict the outcomes of sporting events is really funny to me.

That's not even what they're trying to do.

They make money by roughly predicting what a bunch of dopamine starved dummies with casinos in their pockets are going to think will happen and then using the incoming data to quickly adjust those numbers to the reality of what the dummies think will happen.

Lane made a D3 QB into an Ole Miss god


LOL.

If it were up to Lane and Simmons didn't get hurt, Chambliss would be getting ready to start a career in insurance sales after sitting the bench on a 9-3 team, and no one outside of Gainesville would care one way or another what Lane Kiffin was tweeting about.

Just being honest. Happy my coach does little with his Twitter account that's not team related.


Mine literally only tweets shark emojis and, if you go back far enough, elephant emojis.

It's pretty awesome.

If he ends up at LSU or Florida, I think the cycle finally ends when he gets fired in 3 or 4 years.

He'll get kicked back down to G5 and won't get another chance to piss off another P4 program after that.

My guess is Lane will see how far he can go with this Ole Miss team and that may have some bearing on if he believes he can win it all at Ole Miss.


This makes sense if you don't know anything about this team.

This is not the "if it can't be done this year, it can't be done" year.

This is the "oh, wow, you can now make noise at Ole Miss even in a down year" year.

We deliberately kept our NIL powder dry this year to try to make a run again next year once Simmons had some experience under his belt, and then somehow put ourselves on the cusp of making the playoffs without the major investments like we made last year and will make again next year.

I know that the whole point of this board is to see who can come up with and post the dumbest nonsense, but you may have jumped the shark here.
