I'm told Alex Golesh will be meeting with current members of the staff starting on Monday. Evaluations and decisions will go from there. DeMarcus Van Dyke's hire will likely have an impact on Wesley McGriff. Sources indicate McGriff may move off the field. Jay G. and Caleb reported the other offensive hires earlier -- Co-OC Kodi Burns, Co-OC Joel Gordon, OL Tyler Hudanick, plus S&C coach George Courides. Also offensively, sources indicate as of tonight, current WR coach Marcus Davis hasn't been notified one way or another of his status. On DJ Durkin, he and Golesh met briefly late this afternoon and will meet again tonight.

Stoops said last week that he would not walk away from coaching the team on his own accord, but when school officials approached him about a separation, Stoops said he would be willing to negotiate an agreement that would allow Kentucky to spread out the payments over a number of years instead of paying it all in one lump sum."
Chatter is intensifying
BOOM! LSU fired Brian Kelly less than a month ago, and now LSU AD Verge Ausberry and the search committee have landed Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin in a battle with both the Rebels and Florida Gators. The No. 1 target from the start becomes the hire. And, for all the negative news that seemed to pop up every other day the past month, LSU still got it done... After head coaching stops in college at Tennessee, Southern Cal, FAU and Ole Miss, Kiffin will be the 35th head coach in LSU Football’s program history The “don’t overthink it” crowd was clearly not just on this board, but also in charge of LSU’s search for Kelly’s replacement. From the Celebrate 1.0 to the Megathread to Celebrate 2.0 to this current moment (and so many more), we've landed on a hire! Here’s the breaking news story!
I was told that all the offensive coaches are staying until the end of the season at least. And yes, Golding is the head coach.
Discuss. Options for next AD appreciated.
Durkin EXPECTED to be retained, but deal not currently in place.
Just one…….
My goodness 🤭
Were fired tomorrow, he wouldn’t even get a p4 head coaching job offer. Thats a fact. If michigan were open rn it would be a top 2 job
That’s it, that’s the thread! Let’s celebrate!!
What’s the number for him to keep his job? Are we going to be satisfied with six wins?
Lane’s had weeks to think about this. At this point just make a decision. Or flip a coin!
Why pay 12 million for a QB just to have him turn and hand the ball off? Does Moore honestly think pounding the 3rd string RB is the way to go? Bryce will make mistakes. It’s unavoidable. But he’s also our best chance of winning. Moore just can’t help himself.
If Selmon isn't going to fire Lebby tomorrow, then at the very least I think we should get a statement from the Athletic Department about what they're actually going to do to fix this. A press release laying out massive staff changes on the defensive side of the ball, OL coach firing, and ST coach. Then we should hear clear and concrete numbers when it comes to investing in our staff to make the replacements that an SEC should, and a promise to invest more when it comes to rev share. I've see multiple programs already do this with coaches and if they're not going to get rid of him, I think at the very least you have to do something like this, because just staying silent is not a good option.
It's just short of 1 a.m. CT here in Baton Rouge, meaning we've hit "Decision Day" for Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin. Florida is out. Now, we wait to see if he is staying put in Oxford or is named the next LSU Football head coach. As the dust settled from the end of the Ole Miss season and a month-plus long LSU coaching search when Kiffin's name was always on the forefront, here are some of my final thoughts before the sun rises and everyone gathers around to see what decision Kiffin arrived at. My prediction has been on LSU for a while, and I have not heard anything Friday to change that for me. So, here are some of the main things I'm thinking about with Kiffin, LSU and Ole Miss as I feel the Tigers are inching close to an announcement that brings the news of the LSU search committee landing the No. 1 target from the start. Give it a read and let me know what y'all think!
I'm only asking the people who don't want every coach to be fired and every player to portal.
so many rumblings now of a significant surprise, Willis Reed type deal. A player unexpectedly coming back who could really help the odds of winning tomorrow. We'll see, but those who know aren't talking (and they would usually confirm), and even if said player/s weren't spotted practicing yesterday in front of family, that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't playing. We'll have more tomorrow about a couple hours before the game and we'll tell you what we've heard.
I honestly haven’t seen a SEC QB this year as bad as this dude. He gets pressured because his OL has to block 30 seconds every play
Sources indicate that UF's top options could be Jedd Fisch, Brent Key and Jon Sumrall.
If Vandy mods are to be believed, this is a significant deal for Curtis to flip to Vandy. Still think he sticks myself
Kane Wommack and JaMarcus Shephard mentioned. No mention of Kalen DeBoer with Penn State. Good read for those interested in the national coaching searches.
