This so-called "ultimatum" was always BS. If there was actually an ultimatum, and Kiffin didn't respond by the deadline, what would Ole Miss do, fire Kiffin? That's ridiculous. Some LSU fan, frustrated by his school's dysfunctional football program made this up, and writers who wanted to see their names in print, irresponsibly spread the silly idea.

The real question is why would any decent person ever be on THAT show with THAT guy?

1:50 pm. Easy answer. If Kiffin didn't respond by the deadline, then the contract extension with a raise would have been dropped. Yes, Kiffin could have stayed on at OM, but he would be giving up the "x" million dollar jump in salary he was using this back-and-forth to negotiate.

True, he wouldn't be fired, he would still be coaching - but the purpose of his entire game (and that of his agent) was to get more money, wherever that may be.

OM smartly said "stop" to playing that game; you want our money, say so and let the team know. You want to go somewhere else, say so and we will be able to get into the search and hire of a new coach while the choices are still there.

The fact that Kiffin "SAID" there was no ultimatum might be true, but as the one that he emulates in looks and actions (the younger Bill Clinton) once said: It depends on what your definition of is is. In this case, it depends on what your definition of 'ultimatum' is; and for Keith Carter, I'd bet there is not a Webster's question involved.

I'd put the ultimatum rumor coming from the swamp. Those people on social media are all but naming their new born Lane or Kiffin. They think they can just will him to come to Gainesville and coming up with some wild reasons. All but "he wants to ride a shark naked", which sadly wouldn't be a first down there.

Kiffin should take the yellow brick road, where ever it leads, he earned it.

"And then you play the Egg Bowl. And go dominate that."
No matter what he decides to do, that's the next step and expectation. State fan, I know you're waiting with bated breath to say "I told you so!" Don't forget you've won exactly one game since September 20th.....don't worry about us. You're next.

Kiffin has complex psyche issues. Watch him. He can't make eye contact. He jerks his head from side to side while talking. He rolls his eyes inappropriately. Half his sentences are nonsense.

But he is Saint Lane of the Parish of Lafitte. He knows when he has it made. He can hike his leg in the endzone on November 28 and the faithful will still toast him in communion.

You really have to love Joey Freshwater. Have to admit I wrote him off after Al Davis had his say.

Please people. Coach Kiffin has his son, daughter, mother, former wife and brother & family all living in Oxford that Kiffin must consider. Plus his players & all members of the football staff that will be affected. So please don’t fret that Kiffin hasn’t decided his future on your time line.

I was there when they gave it to him….and he looked up and said “I’ll be your huckleberry “

I think with all the turmoil around both Florida and LSU being there would make a tough job worse. Kiffin is building Ole Miss into a national contender while Rebel fans are willing to give him the time. I'm not usually a Ole Miss fan but I would like to see him stay.

Please 6:23. Lane Kiffin’s ego stays first. He could care less about his family as long as he thinks he’s relevant. They all take a backseat to what he sees in the mirror.

Tonight on the ESPN CFP program, when discussing Ole Miss and their very comfortable #6 position, they laughed and said Ole Miss is playing Mississippi State in 2 weeks and if it wasn’t for the Kiffin talk, there would no be nothing to talk about. From the mouths of the experts….

So sick of all these empty-headed sports talkers with their clickbait headlines followed by absolutely no substantial information. But hey, I guess everyone has to make a living, even if it's nothing more than vacuous bloviation.

Sorry Kingfish, I love Kiffin and hope he stays, but I call BS. He may call it something else, but we can not allow him to coach the team past the Egg Bowl unless he signs the extension at Ole Miss. I certainly believe AD Keith Carter and Chancellor Boyce gave him the directive/ultimatum/information.

I hate that there is a former wife mentioned. Lane’s 1st lesson to his students should be God & family 1st. Hope & pray he can reconcile with his wife for Christmas & family. Merry Christmas Lane!

Agreed. How on earth he has a "show" is a mystery.

Florida, LSU, and Auburn have been meat grinders for coaches for twenty years and produced inconsistent records for their programs. Had it not been for the extraordinary competence of Saban, Alabama would be in the same situation. The problem is that the programs are largely supported by followers (not alumni) who are drawn to the teams for reasons totally unrelated to academic association. The programs are heavily influenced by "big" donors and supporters who try to run the programs for their ego, not for the good of the schools or their athletic programs. Everything about the University of Mississippi sports efforts and their supporters has improved over the last few years until the "atmosphere" of the school and the sports teams is the envy of most of the rest of the country, IMO. Oxford has become the fantasia of what people covet for a college town and community. I cannot believe that any thinking individual would leave the panacea of the coaching situation that has developed around Kiffen to go to the hell holes of a LSU or Florida. But then, I have been married to the same lady for almost 52 years. Maybe I have a misguided view of life.

The University of Northern Mississippi sold its soul to Satan just to be a first-rank, big-name college football power. And it hasn’t happened and, as UNM’s Athletic Department and fan-bois cast about for anything else they have left to sell Satan, it’s not going to happen aside from a few good years here and there owing to a weak schedule and a good year or two of recruiting. UNM’s glory days, when The Little Sisters of the Poor in leather helmets and no face masks could have been national contenders, well, those days are long gone and they ain’t comin’ back.

As a New Mexico native, to read UNM mentioned in conjunction with football prowess almost elicited a spit take. Well played, @8:27.

if the beautiful people of the SEC spent as much time raising their kid, paying the mortgage, investing their money in something other than overpriced cars that loose 30

@8:27 Your envy is showing. Catch up if you can.....

if the beautiful people of the SEC spent their time
raising the kid
paying the mortgage
not purchasing overpriced new cars that loose 30% of the value first day out
B/T W....a car is not an investment,

posing as big shots at their tailgating parties where they blow the mortgage payment

betting on college football

pretending to be sophomores in college

obsessing over some


pretty boy coach who will be just another nobody in a few years,
there would not be nearly as many of them standing in the line down at federal bankruptcy court.

the eternal sophomores will never figure this out.

no one earns living obsessing over college football anymore that people earn living obsession over donald trump.

grow up

7:24 for today's win.
