Lane Kiffin to OU?

I’m curious why everyone thinks Kiffin wants to leave Ole Miss. he’s got it pretty good down there.

Because 10-2 is the ceiling there

Gotta think Shane Beamer would be getting a call. Would he want to leave SC and live in dads shadow though?

I feel like these types of things fail more often than they succeed, and it'd be nice not to put a taint on that sterling family relationship with the program.

Rough for LSU. Some boosters thought they were too good to hire a guy from ULL, so they went big game hunting w/ Lincoln Riley and Jimbo. Since LR left, may have been some real talk there with LSU (if you're already going to play in the SEC, why not just go to there)? Don't know who the fuck LSU is going to get now.

Saban won’t coach forever though.

You think Oklahoma going to SEC has a higher ceiling then over Ole Miss?

They should have learned their lesson from the last time around on getting the big name hire.

Maybe Aranda?

That AD is known for making these huge splash hires. Aranda doesn’t fit that.

Yes. Facilities at Ole Miss are garbage and it’ll be years before they commit to raising that bar.

I don’t think there is a splash left to make. USC just made the biggest one.

And on top of that, Norman is 3 hours from a top-3 talent region - DFW.

Urban is about all there is, but he will stay in Jacksonville.

History alone tells you OU is by far better and like you said they have always loaded up on Texas talent.

Surely they wouldn’t be stupid enough to pass the hat for Mel Tucker…. right?

Desperation is a stinky cologne

I’m guessing Urb goes to Texas after next year when both him and Sark flame out.

Can you imagine spending 100 million dollars to avoid a very slight embarrassment?

Brian Kelly or an NFL guy like Matt Rhule are the only ones I can think of.

There are some quality guys out there…Luke Fickle, Matt Campbell, Jeff Hafley, Mike Houston. I just don’t know if Fickle or Campbell fit in down in Baton Rouge

That’s the thing… I don’t think any of them do. They’re really in a bind.

Now that they’d ge looking at Plan Bs, I wonder if they would kick the tires on Fleck. He has that Mr Show Business personality feel has somehow proved the naysayers wrong at most turns with his coaching. I have a feeling he wouldn’t turn down something that can shine a brighter spotlight on himself.

Bill O’Brien is also still available. Though his stock must have dropped after this week. Also has a square peg, round hole feel to me for the job.
