Is what Lane doing to Ole Miss worse than what he ever did to Tennessee?

He keeps showing everyone who he is time and time again. All that talk this year and in that stupid documentary about him finally settling down etc etc. What a load of crap. Same old Lane. Same old disloyal SOB he's always been. Just a a few years older now.
And to think we actually had fans clamoring for him to come back here.

After further review, the ho is still a ho.

Way worse? he left Tennessee as a dumpster fire under NCAA investigation. They were forced to hire Derek Dooley due to the timing.

Ole Miss will make a solid hire and be just fine as a program. Kiffin also tried to steal all the recruits Tennessee had at the time as well.

Kiffin leaving wasn't way worse, at all... WE made it worse... it was the cumulative impact of UTAD making bad hierarchical decisions all the way up to the top, and down to AD THREE TIMES. PSU rebounded because they hired a good "bridge guy", then kept it on the rails w/ Franklin. OM just has to hire a safe guy who has recognition to go get transfer portal guys. Not for nothing, but Brian Kelly is there, and less of a risk than Jimbo Fisher. I think they, like SC, do better when they have a name brand coach to help boost exposure. I think all the up-and-coming coaches they'd want are probably already taken or in process of being taken.

Ole Miss won’t be in better shape when half the team and recruits leave and they are now stuck with an unproven DC as head coach due to Lane leaving them high and dry at the worst possible time. And right before their first playoff appearance no less.

There are right and wrong ways to handle things in life. So far Lane has handled two changes poorly and was fired from the Raiders for being, as Al Davis put it, a liar. But ethics seems to be lost on many folks these days so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at anything.

Reports coming out this morning have been wild. He's leaving but is delaying the meeting with players because he's trying to get coaches to come with him. Also, reportedly, he's mad he's not going to be allowed to coach Ole Miss in the playoffs while accepting the LSU job. He's trying to stand on a bridge that he burnt lmao

This has playoff implications involved and I'm not even sure if they will make it at this point. If FSU can go undefeated and be left out, im not so sure Ole Miss can't be left out too

No… they knew this was coming four weeks… not outta the blue

I'm looking at this from the LSU side.

This is like a bride or groom saying "I'll be there for the wedding but I'm going on one last fling with the ex first......."

It's not Brian Kelly doing a bad accent or trying to dance, it's Lane Kiffin preferring to continue to work for Ole Miss after "committing" to LSU.

Can they pick 'em down there on the bayou or what?

I wish we were as bad as LSU at coaching hires. Maybe we’d have 2-3 more recent NCs instead of them.

Yes it’s worse what he’s doing to Ole Miss. they have a playoff birth and a lot more at stake than we did in 09. All we had was a crap bowl game. Still ****** either way !

Lane continues to show his ass and demonstrate that he doesn’t have any respect for his profession, team, coaches or his assistant coaches.

That is your perception. I could argue that Lane Kiffin does have alot of respect for his profession and is why he knows he needs to take the LSU job if he wants to seriously compete for a national championship. After making that obvious decision, he still stuck around and took a beating in the media to continue coaching and help his current roster of players to succeed. But Ole Miss gave him an ultimatum forcing him to make a decision. The football calendar doesn't help either. Yet Kiffin was willing to use his leverage to still coach Ole Miss in the playoffs. He knows without him, Ole Miss is a mediocre team who will lose, which is also why he is leaving.

Your's and everyone's problem is that he chose to go to LSU. That is it. After making that decision, which is the wise and obvious one to make, he was in a no win situation.

Imagine how that feels as a fan.
Your team makes the playoffs, and in all honesty has as good a chance as anyone at winning games, AND the entire team falls apart two weeks before playing again, because your coach quit the damn team. Talk about a bad day as a fan. That’s hard to fathom for anyone that’s not a UT fan.

How is it worse? He took the whole staff when he left here but didn't ask. And also had the staff calling kids telling them not to go to class so they could transfer. And this was in 1 or 2 days. This LSU thing has been dragging out for weeks and everyone with a brain knew he wasnt going to stay at Ole Miss. No. It's not worse.

Yeah, this whole stringing them along, signals all say he’s gone, but not being straight up at this point is worse. I’m fine with the immediate cutting of ties and moving on once a decision is made. This sucks for the Ole Miss fan base.

So what do you want him to do
1) Abandon Ole Miss st their most crucial time?

2) Leave LSU hanging in the wind until he's done with Ole Miss?

They're offering 100 million dollars.

No one on a message board has anywhere near that money, and never will. It's hilarious to me*.

*yes, I won't either and will still talk chit, but THOSE people are something else

This is the exact time where most all coaching vacancies are being filled. It is before the transfer window and before early national signing day. This is normal timing.

The fact the playoffs are where there are is not Kiffin's fault. Any coach who would want a promotion at another job would be in the same position. John Sumerall for example has been granted permission to coach Tulane until the end of the season, potential playoff run included. Kiffin wasn't granted that.

At the end of the day, college football is a business for all parties involved. It isn't the same as it once was. NIL has unrealistically heightened expectations and coaches either have to adjust or be asked to continously overachieve. Kiffin is simply taking the option that gives him the most resources and highest probability of success. If Ole Miss doesn't like it, they should have had the structures in place to recruit at a top 5 level. They didn't so they lose out on the top 5 coach.

No. Tennessee wasn’t sure what he was but thought it was an appropriate gamble until it burned us. Kiffin since then has left a reliable track record as to his character every step of the way. Ole Miss had all available information and proceeded to hire him until it predictably blew up in their faces. It also happened to occur at the worst time as it did with him at Tennessee and Alabama.

Seriously compete for a championship is wild when Ole Miss is literally in a playoff to compete for a title while LSU was awful this season 🤔 I can’t wait to play LSU next season. He’s 🗑️ and hasn’t changed one bit.

It was a different era but Cutcliffe left before our national championship game to get started at Duke.I think Kiffin should do the same.Itd be hard to juggle 2 jobs like that.

Ole Miss is making the playoffs, that's not even debatable. I see his side, wanting to finish what he started. But, I also see Ole Miss not wanting him there if he's heading to a rival. I really believe this is more about wanting to finish what he started this year before leaving, but who knows

If I were Ole Miss I’d tell him to kick rocks. His vanity means nothing to the man abandoning the program for an in conference rival.

Just like Savan kicking him to the curb before the championship game. He is a clown and we are lucky we never entertained the idea of hiring this man back.

The odds are against Ole Miss. No team with a blue chip ratio under 50% has women the national championship since 2010. The recruiting ability of Ole Miss is limited. They have topped out with a top 15 class and that is only due to scouring the transfer portal.

At LSU, Kiffin will have access to top 5 classes. If he were to stay at Ole Miss he would have to compete with someone else in that position on a permanent basis. Now that he takes that job, he has supreme resources and competes against schools with less.

yes. He left UT to coach at his dream school. USC. Still don't understand why everyone go so bent about that? really? If I had a shot at my dream job...."well, bye" Too bad he crapped all over that job!!! :) real sad!

Moving from Ole Miss to LSU is a wash with the transfer portal. Recruiting is so much different nowaday. You can win at either school. 12 million a year. I guess that means something to most folks. I don't see this as a good move, guess we will see.
