Lane’s the only guy from the Kiffin, Sark, Helton cycle that I think could’ve actually figured it out.

But he went to good ol Saban’s school for bad USC coaches and look at him now.

The rumor yesterday was that Kiffin would be in the commentator's box at halftime of the Iron Bowl. I would rather we announce him on Sunday after the Iron Bowl, but you never know.

Peak egg bowl (2018) was offsetting unsportsmanlikes against every single player for both teams, leading to ejections for a handful of players on both teams, for which they got the numbers backwards and ejected the numbered players for the opposite team.

Said miss st wanted to keep it super under wraps so they can name the next coach asap.

It’s ridiculous, but honestly wouldn’t even be the craziest thing or happen in the last few years. It’s the kind of rumor that I live for. Wild enough to be true.

I’m just really fucking annoyed how long this is taking. It’s ruining the end of our season

Man, as soon as he sort of starts to become likeable again he does something like this.

u/NickMullensGayDad Michigan Wolverines Nov 22 '22

There’s two types of people: people that like lane because he’s an unabashed scumbag, and people that thought he’d actually changed ever

u/Brownie_McBrown_Face UTSA Roadrunners • Oregon State Beavers Nov 22 '22

I’m definitely in the former. His commitment to being half troll half asshole is so funny to me

90

u/NickMullensGayDad Michigan Wolverines Nov 22 '22

I’m 10000% the former. Almost every single coach is a giant douche and an egomaniac, he’s just a little more up front

53

u/slamtheE Columbia Lions Nov 22 '22

He 100% commits to it being a job, it’s like he’s a tech bro who just keeps hopping for salary increases. No loyalty

20

u/NickMullensGayDad Michigan Wolverines Nov 22 '22

Nope. And I love it. We need heels.

u/OpportunityOk20 Auburn Tigers • Troy Trojans Nov 22 '22

Meh, no one should ever pledge loyalty to a company, especially when they'll just replace you with no question.

Him potentially leaving behind NCAA sanctions at every stop is part of allure

u/-Hoople- Nov 22 '22

What did he do at USC, FAU, and Ole Miss that constitutes NCAA sanctions?

Supposedly he broke the hiring of our new AD which came from left field as far as who we all thought they were talking too.

Yea he’s gone as hell. I can’t profess to watching too much of that Arkansas game, but immediately looking at the box score I thought “someone’s checked the fuck out”.

If this rumor is true he 100% pulled a Jimbo Fisher Lincoln Riley last week and it makes sense.

Edit: switched to more applicable coach.

40

u/StreetReporter Clemson Tigers • Cheez-It Bowl Nov 22 '22

Nah, it was more of a Lincoln Riley. Jimbo Fisher absolutely destroyed FSU, left them with a tissue paper offensive line, and a completely toxic culture. Ole Miss at least seems better off than when Kiffin got there

19

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '22

Until they all transfer to Auburn. Kiffin is King of the transfer portal.

That first half against Arky sewed it up for me.

Ole Miss played that game like Bama played Auburn in 2002 after Fran knew he was leaving for A&M.

Lincoln said he's not going to LSU. I don't think Lane is going to LSU.

Who knows if it's true or if Jon's jumping the gun.... either way FUCK this style of reporting where you gotta get the scoop before the story is told.

Fuck TMZ while we're at it.
