I’m glad Dan is writing hit pieces on them but he’s a super tool. HUGE DOUCHE.
Lane Kiffin's ego is once again getting in the way of everything
Where will Lane Kiffin coach next year? He's strung out the decision to the point where he's damaging his own reputation (again). It's time to make a call, Lane.
He will never be as marketable as he is today. If he doesn’t make the move in the next 10 days, he’ll never get this chance again. Nobody will touch him after the way he’s dicked around 3 pretty big programs. And if he stays, his best days will be behind him anyway.
You’re exactly right. No one will take him seriously if he just pulls a bunch of BS like this.
I don't know dude. He's pulled some crap into the past and now look at him. Winning makes people tolerate a lot.
10-1 is a lot more tolerable than 8-4 is. And with new SEC scheduling & no more escapes from the P4 scheduling requirement that’s going to be about his cap at UM going forward.
LSU could pressure him to make a decision, but OM has zero leverage. What are they going to do if he continues to not sign the extension, fire him? And pay him his enormous buy out? They can't do anything but sit and wait.
They shouldn’t be top 10 this year, but they are; so …. Back to your point … if he wants to strike while the iron is hot … this is the year. This is him at the peak … can’t see his name being hotter than now. But I agree with you.
The schedule isn’t the same as last year or this year. They got possibly the easiest SEC schedule ever…..outside of A&M this year….and the entirety of their own Vaught years.
It was and is …. And went 10-1 …. Just need the Dogs to rain **** on that parade.
I agree with this. I hate this era.
I agree too. I make no apologies for Kiffin. But the reason all this is playing out this way and the reason he can't wait until the end of the season, is because of the college football calendar. It is a shame that the sports biggest months of competition coincides with its signing day and portal opening.
Wolken hates the game so much that I find it hard to believe that he even wants a job writing about college football or gets paid to do so.Lane Kiffin's ego is once again getting in the way of everything

Except for the portal doesn’t open until January, and signing day (which hardly matters at all now) isn’t until mid-December. It’s November 21st right now. Only one school (Virginia Tech) has already hired a new coach, and they only were able to so because their guy was currently unemployed. Wolken expects Lane Kiffin to make a decision on his future before anyone else for no other reason besides his own personal agenda.
The reason schools fire coaches mid-season and want a new coach by December is because of the early signing day (December 3-5, 2025). ALso, to have the new staff in place for the January 2 portal opening. (The playoffs extend into January).
No doubt that the December signing day is and has always been stupid. If they were going to do an early one they should have done it in August.
Wolken is a colossal tool, but he has a long track record of roasting Ole Miss. He can carry on, as far as I am concerned. Enemy of my enemy, etc.
Totally agree with two of your points and I'm probably splitting hairs on the other but if he were to win a Natty in his first few years at LSU then his value would increase even more and he may get a chance to follow the Saban career path to Bama....his supposed dream job.
They won’t have this years schedule next year. And the won’t get lucky on a Div II QB that even they thought was nothing but a cheap backup. Everything has fallen into place for them this year. That rarely happens. They’ll lose n the quarterfinals and that will be Lanes best year in Oxford, no matter how much longer he stays.
