Should’ve told him to make a decision weeks ago in private. Should’ve gotten the North Texas coach off to Oklahoma State if decided at the time to leave.
They should just give the gig to Judge or Golding. People want someone in charge of a football program that were a part of the program when it was successful. Ole Miss is currently successful so promote from within.
Go for maybe the James Madison coach if Judge and Golding leave.
Ole Miss will prob give some firm a million dollars to do what I just said, and somehow Sexton will make money in the process.
What a diva. And all the Ole Miss and LSU fans waiting with bated breath on his decision use the chair in the corner of the hotel room. UF fans are quite the quiet bunch this week once penny loafers pulled the plug on him.
He feels guilty about leaving a team he built….it’s natural. Shut up and get in your uhaul
How many players and coaches will he take with him.? Will LSU have to pay his buy out if OM doesn’t let him finish the season.
This is really getting absurd. The NCAA should do everyone a favor and rein in this Wild West shit.
This moment will be known for the following: i.) the last vestiges of what was previously known as college football where coaches are now as big or bigger divas than players ii.) the point where normal college fans start paying a boatload more across the board (someone has to pay for all this) or iii.) the end of colleges and universities have complete control over their football program.
They were waiting to see if UMiss backed into the SEC Championship Game or not. It didn’t happen (thank you, Alabama!), so now they can announce that he’s gone.
Or it gives the powers that be a look at the chaos that will occur if they don't make some changes. I suspect Saban's suggestions on fixing the calendar to remove the incentives for these early firings and poachings will be seriously looked at. No one likes this. No one.
I can’t believe you losers think this shit is important. Maybe you should get a real life.
Just think of the ROI from the people that poured huge sums of money into the grove collective or any other pay for play programs and you have a great season and you don’t get to go to the SEC championship, your coach skips town, and the majority of your roster leaves for the same school your coach, who your financial contributions helped make his resume to get hired away, and because of his dog and pony show, you’re now late to the dance on the coaching hire.
I quit caring about college football once the NIL era came about. I’m not helping bank roll this fiasco. I like spending my money on tangible assets and not prima donna coaches and players.
I've been to Baton Rouge several times over the years, and other parts of Louisiana. Hey- it is a great state. But I would never live there.
Back in the early 70's I was a member of the Ole Miss Band. We went to LSU twice. Both times were horrendous. Meaning LSU fans throwing liquor bottles wildly in any direction. And student drunks trying to attack the band.
If Kiffy wants to go down there- good riddance. Those people are just different .
The sports media LOVE this KF.
The Chancellor , if he is actually in change of the University , should have days ago told LK , make up your decision now - we don't need your drama. We've given you everything you wanted. If you don't like it - get the hell out of here .
That's what we need in a Chancellor.
There’s no way UM can let Kiffin coach its football team while he is simultaneously responsible for recruiting players and hiring coaching staff for LSU.
If Kiffin goes to LSU, he can’t coach Ole Miss during the playoffs. Period. That would be a huge conflict of interests.
While commenting on this two days ago, Nick Saban apparently forgot that he, himself, refused to let Kiffin coach in a national championship game, after Kiffin took the job at FAU.
But that was all of eight years ago, so maybe Saban just forgot about it. Or maybe he’s just full of sh*t and seeking forgiveness from LSU and/or carrying water for Gov. Landry.
Watched football tonight in mixed crowd. All the ole miss fans were all in for auburn, so they could go to the sec championship game. All the ole miss fans also admitted that their coach is a troll.
Sec football, in a nutshell.
ratchet hoe behavior suits him in batin ruge
I left Miss for Baton Rouge, it was the best choice for me and my family. It will be for the Kiffens too!
Football is as important to Mississippians as spending TANF money on washed up athletes. $90 million for a football coach. Now that explains some messed up priorities. Kiffin is going to the place where he is most likely to earn the most money and earn a championship. U guys act like he loves the state. I know Louisiana runs neck to neck with us in having nothing but at least they have more than Mississippi. What a joke!
All of that good will he built up with the documentary….gone. He’s walking away from a team going into the playoffs.
Mark my words, it won’t be 24 months before his name comes up for another job and he’ll play this game again.
@10:12 PM - the NCAA can’t do anything about this because it has become a powerless entity. It's title is lofty and promising but in reality it is a sham, an empty suit, just like the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame.
The barn door is wide open, once they started NIL, the portal and paying players there is absolutely no loyalty. It’s only going to get worse, enjoy the chaos.
The speculation was media generated. A good coach will get offers. He would always have stayed to coach his team to the end of the season. No good coach would make an announcement or abandon his team before the last game was decided. That he's leaving has more than a little to do with the way Mississippians have bashed him for the crime of not being their team's coach. And, once again, we look like petty idiots to the entire country!
This isn’t important but LSU has a lot of money to pay. Hope Lane can deliver. Hope they make Whitt Weeks the AD.
I just wish some Mississippians in and out of our media wouldn't make us again look like a state of people with no class. Coaches get to decide their fate . If they leave after being ridiculed and disparaged all citizen by people in the state, it's no surprise that they don't feel welcomed anymore and leave. If State gets a great coach, I suspect the Southern and Ole Miss dropouts will try to run him out too.
College football (P4) is a complete clownshow. Embarrassingly bad system.
Congratulations 11:10. Amazing how retarded college sports makes people.
The vast majority of those saying “we” never made the team much less played one down on the field for the school their obsessed with, do not know one player personally, and if you made those that never even attended the university leave stadium on game day, a hot dog vendor couldn’t make a decent profit with the remaining fans.
Funny funny stuff.
When Kiffin was hired, a friend said this won’t end well. I told him that he was wrong. I need to apologize to him.
He did a better than average job while he was in Oxford, but, like every good coach that passes our way, someone is always ready to outbid us. As a fan, the trick is never to expect to much or get caught up in the hoopla. Just party in the Grove with your friends & family, and enjoy the good years and the wins when they come around - especially the years when we beat State.
Ole Miss was actually right there with the money from what I understand. Recruiting played a big role in this. The problem is Ms doesn't stack up to La in terms of high school talent. Ms's first dozen players are the match of anyone in the country but after that there is a drop-off. Louisiana had so much talent that LSU and Saban at Bama made a living off of it. At Ole Miss, Kiffin has to live and die by the portal just as Sherill lived and died by Jucos.
Yep LSU swinging wood and slapping down Mississippi .
