I'm not sure thats a really high bar to clear.
Welcome to the wildest coaching carousel we've seen ...

I thought that's who Penn St should've hired.

Daboll would be a fine hire and give me something to laugh at.
Do you think he will fail at LSU?

I think he will be what he’s always been. A good, not great coach where the negatives eventually outweigh the positives. And when it ends, it will be messy and largely of his own doing

Daboll was who I was reading they were interested in. I would've hired Fitzgerald. Probably not "name" enough for them though.

Pretty much a regular
Add Michigan State to the schools looking for a coach. So now Mich State is paying two ex-coaches while having to pony up for a new one
Maybe Smith will go back to Oregon State. He shouldn't have left that job for Michigan State in the first place.

I think Golding looks similar to Patricia when Detroit hired him.

Actually, now that I think about it, I think that previous Michigan state coach was fired for cause and they didn't have to pay him.
Michigan State needs to hire a guy like Mark Stoops who can deal with never getting top talent and a good enough coach to always make them a physical team that brings it ever week

In transit, arriving late.
Midnight Mel. Sexual harassment for cause but he’s fighting it. Naturally.
That was a big part of the stupidity with these contracts that doesn’t get talked about enough.
He was 16-14 record or some shit like that and I’m guessing Sexton used him (I think LsU was in the shit at the time, ironically) during another coach arms race.

These schools are run by idiots paying the money they do with enormous buyouts to these coaches most of whom show how bad they are and are fired within a few seasons.

Auburn moved quickly while Kiffin was trying to burn the program down on the way out.
5 minute interview with him by marty smith right at the airport is worth watching imo. He says he never gave his coaches an ultimatum that they had to join him today "or else".
I'm not saying I believe him either way. I'm just saying he has a side to the story. I wonder if Ole miss AD would retort and counter the story. Probably better for OM to stay quiet and not get into pissing match with him:

Lane Kiffin talks regret, who told him to 'take the shot' before boarding private jet to LSU
New LSU football Lane Kiffin gave Marty Smith an interview before boarding a plane from Mississippi to Baton Rouge. Here's what he said.

I was the one who said that LOL

Do we know if Matt Patricia has ever owned a home?

Lane looks rough. Did he fall off the wagon and start hitting the sauce on the flight to BR? He’s been under a lot of stress lately. We will see how this all plays out. I am wondering how the post game pleasantries will go with Golding after the game in Oxford next year. See below
According to team insiders: The Lane Kiffin story continues to develop with former Defensive Coordinator and new Head Coach, Pete Golding pushing back and calling Lane Kiffin out where the two had to be separated in a closed meeting this Wednesday with Golding ready to punch Kiffin in the face. Golding said, “Fuck your ego, I’m staying for the team to finish what we started.” Apparently things were already in motion even before the Egg Bowl.

It’s almost like something changed in the NIL/portal era huh? What was Kiffin’s record at Tennessee, USC, Oakland, and FAU again?

He looks like he’s aged 5 years in a month.

That's why you lose at this. Thinking putting down my team because you can't live with reality.
ISU has been losing since before I was born and I deal with it well. Thanks though.
So you basically just admitted that KJ was right. Would have been best not to respond…let‘s be above mud-slinging?

“Would” is often used in hypotheticals or conditional statements. Here’s an example - Had I valued your opinion, I would have asked for it. So when someone says “X would have been” it’s not a reference to what exists but what might have existed. See how that works?
Yes, I see: when someone says something negative about Ole Miss you get all defensive and try to cloud your emotion with logic. I‘m just saying that there are better ways of dealing with your emotions, brother

I'm laughing because I end statements to my wife with those words with some frequency. You can imagine she just loves hearing that.

Weedeater Bowl was an insane time. Alamo Bowl was a blast because San Antonio is a blast. Couldn't even go the the Fiesta Bowl because while it was 20 minutes from me, it was the Covid year.
Best time ever was Liberty Bowl in Memphis. Not because we won, but because I experienced one of the coolest cities on the planet. THAT's exaxtly what college football does for me. Sorry for your loss.

Yes when someone says something negative about Ole Miss, which is completely unrelated to the topic, I respond negatively. I concede that much. Telling Ole Miss fans to enjoy being relevant for a minute isn’t an attempt to actually discuss anything. It’s trolling and it will be met with an appropriate response.

See you're just mad. Being relevant for a minute is pretty cool.
Bro, things were in motion the evening of Sunday 10/26 when LSU fired B Kelly.
LK was LSU's targe from the word go.
You guys had just won by 8 in Norman against my Sooners and from my vantage point it was clear that you guys were just better across the board and better coached. Your speed was incredible. After that game, I texted a bunch of buddies and said this is a Top 5 team in the country, bar none.
However, had you guys lost a 2nd game in your last four game run, you would have been out of the CFP running due to the lower SOS with OOC Georgia State, Wazzu and The Citadel.
The only reason this whole thing became "a thing" is because you guys are playoff bound. If not for that, LK is gone weeks ago and you guys hire someone like Golesh, etc. PG does not get promoted to the HC job without you guys in the playoff.
Now you've got your whole staff in place less LK and you guys have a real chance to go deep in the 'offs.
Considering that the worst kept secret the last 5 weeks is that LK is going to LSU, you guys are in a pretty good place right now and lots of time to refocus with your staff and get your gameplans going.
It's good Bama won last night to give you another week off to circle the wagons.
I think this turned out pretty well though it looked pretty grim during the ordeal.
Do you agree? Do you feel better or do you feel worse? Or about the same?
I'm just putting myself in your shoes and I feel like it would be the best-case scenario considering all your fanbase has gone through.
