Well Layla is from Gainesville, but it's being reported that the family toured Baton Rouge today, as Lane says " get your ready"

I think he's gone. You don't do these things unless you're going because he has to be creating some bad blood in Oxford.

Ole Miss is a better job than Auburn.

Ole Miss is a better job than Auburn.

Ole Miss is a better job than LSU or Florida right now. Lane's best play is to get a raise and stay put. Then, head to the big 2 where everything is easy.

So; Kiffin takes his family on a Baton Rouge tour via an LSU jet today and;
Ole Miss issues ultimatum to make his mind up before the Egg Bowl(per Stewart Mandel)

Lane being Lane.

I guess he feels he’s maxed out at Ole Miss.

He is doing rhe same thing that Saban did with Texas. Not saying he won't leave but this is all being orchestrated by his agent to extract maximum value whether he stays or goes.

I'm reading Ole Miss is demanding a decision from Kiffin by the time the Egg Bowl is played, but would they go ahead and fire him if he doesn't give an answer? If they actually would then probably Golding would have to coach them in the playoff.

No, firing him would trigger his buyout. That would be stupid on their part. They are just pounding sand. They would be wise to just keep their mouth shut with the media and Kiffin's agents. And what you read could be propaganda put out by his agents to rile up the OM fans. Again, to put maximum pressure on Ole Miss to pay up.

I take all of this as a sign that he wants to stay at Ole Miss making top dollar with improved NIL commitments.
