Doesn't surprise me at all. That's how they run everything in Mississippi. "Do it my way or I'll burn it down!"

Kiffin update this week
- Thread starter Tractorman
- Start date
Donāt you mean āA Rouxingā?
i think all of this is one massive troll job by kiffin. he isn't going anywhere. and when he tweets that out, OM fans will anoint him their god
if I was making him the highest paid coach. He would start right after thanksgiving
Like everyone here Iām hoping heās gone but this does seem a little too much to believe. Wouldnāt surprise me if ends up staying.
He just retweeted an Egg Bowl tweet with #spottheball, a Gator hashtag. Dude is a man child troll. 
exactly what i was thinking, they'd follow him around begging him to stay.
Flipmas. He's going to have family surrounding a table with all the hats and pull an Ole Miss visor out of his ***.
the press conference would be from the LSU side, not the UM side. Every school holds a presser to announce a new coach. It's not like we didn't have 4 of them in the past 8 or so years.
Perhaps the funniest outcome is Kiffin announcing he is staying with all the media going wild followed by a Mississippi State egg bowl victory that knocks OM out of the playoff then kiffin leaving for the NFL in February
Just got confirmation from well connected sources that Lane was eating at Cane's yesterday. The deal is done. He was quoted as saying, 'who even eats gas station chicken?'.
Lane just made his big announcement. Turns out he is stepping away from football next season to do a comedy tour
I want this to happen almost as much as I wanted that baseball national championship... almost.
Well, for those that missed it, Kiffin was just on The Pat McAfee Show stating that there is no ultimatum and that he loves it in Oxford.
Doesnāt mean he wonāt leave, but that ultimatum never made sense to begin with.
Was he wearing a Tuberville mask, complete with big ears and balding head? Meaning - doesn't every coach say they're staying where they are, until they aren't?
Did he say he's signed the contract extension?
"I love it here so much that I totally am not flirting with other schools while stringing my employer along and not signing the contract offers," Lane said.

For a while now, Iāve felt like that he was going to leave because the offers would probably be just too good to pass up but with all the things that have happened in the last couple days I think itās all just a huge troll job and that heās going to stay an Ole Miss is going to win the press conference. It almost seems too obvious that heās playing everybody and his family is in on it which is just absolutely bizarre.
Thatās what they have to pay if he is fired. I donāt think thatās what they get paid. Probably closer to 5
If true, I'd have to believe he's stuck at Ole Miss, which he might not mind. No upper tier SEC team would take another run at him after what he did at UT and then head faking LSU and FL. Ole Miss can't match LSU/FL offer and go all in for NIL.....LSU and FL can. If being consistently in the running for a natty with virtually unlimited resources are ranked high on his decision tree.....he gone.
There is always the chance the ex wife doesnāt really want to hang out in the same town where he had the younger girlfriend and run in to her. She might be pushing for a change of scenery if they are back together.
That's a level of trolling previously unheard of in college sports. I think he's just a weird dude who wants to move on, but feels bad about doing it. Being a weird guy, he can't just straight up lie and say all the things OM fans want to hear until he signs a new contract with LSU/UF. Also, it's impossible for him to just shut up and go radio silent while the negotiations are going and that leads to A LOT of mixed signals being sent out.
He REALLY wants to coach the Rebels in the CFP, but I don't see how his new school will allow that. So he's stringing things out. Throw in the rumors of Sark leaving Texas, and it equals a super awkward dude who is kind of flailing around while he tries to make up his mind. I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to wait and see if Texas opens up. So this could be drawn out long past the EB.
Did his family members actually travel to Gainseville and Baton Rouge? I know it was widely reported, but was there any confirmation?
If they really did, I can't see that being just a troll job. You don't hop on the private plane of a booster for another school and go on a joy ride just to troll everyone. You could wind up.in court over that.
OTOH, maybe the whole thing was just Sexton stirring the pot to make everyone nervous. He is probably trying to make sure Lane is the highest paid coach in the country no matter where he winds up....and that's why rhe extension hasn't been signed; its not high enough yet.

Kiffin also said he didnāt know the interview with Ryan McGee was for an E:60. The guy tells lies. Itās that simple.
He's not a normal weird dude, I think he has some sort of social anxiety and/or is on the spectrum, with narcissistic personality tendencies thrown in. It's rare, but you can be both autistic and narcissistic. His disconnect with social cues (trolling his own fans, even though I personally enjoy that immensely), but added to the arrogance he presents, are pretty good indicators.
Being totally qualified
, yes, I think he has some sort of anxiety disorder. I don't think he's comfortable with public speaking, which is the case with many of us, but he seems to have a bit of stage fright when being interviewed or giving a briefing.
Correct.
According to USA Today Sports, Kiffin would owe Ole Miss a "flat fee" around $4 million, if he terminated his contract on or before Dec. 31, 2025.
Before Dec 31, 2025: $4 million
Before Dec 31, 2026: $3 million
Before Dec 31, 2027: $2 million
After Jan 1, 2028: $1.5 million
And those dates like buyouts for firing are why I have a problem with the āultimatumā coaches canāt tell the schools fire me before a certain date so I get my full buyout. Again as it has been pointed out, itās not like Ole Miss had leverage anyway.
