WarrrEagleHey 282 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) I will be the first to acknowledge that I know very little about the inner workings of coaches, agents, and getting contracts signed. I just found it funny, and a little curious, that LK didn't sign his extension until the day we announced our new coach, after so many days of sitting on it. I kept wondering why he never signed, and if he was holding out for some reason. Edited November 30, 2022 by WarrrEagleHey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butthead 525 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Last night a buddy of mine (who has good connections with a few high profile boosters) told me that a clause or two were added to the Lane contract after discussions were well under way that added VERY high buyouts should Lane leave for either the NFL or Turdghanistan. Said it really pissed him off. Anyone hear anything similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lane wanted a clause where he would get the guaranteed buyout even if he did indeed leave for bama or another job. Cohen obviously said no. I believe it was briefly discussed on the Locked On AU podcast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An agreement was in place, then Kiffin came back with various changes that benefited him way too much. Cohen then told him to go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, he went for it on 4th and goal from the 16, instead of taking the field goal? Definitely sounds consistent. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely sounds consistent. Thank goodness we didn't get a full blown analytics coach like Kiffin. I'm telling ya, the Ole Miss message boards go full meltdown mode when Lane goes for it in FG range and fails. It's cost them a few games in his 3 years there. He lost them the 2021 game in Jordan Hare. He was in FG range on 5 occasions and never kicked the FG. Instead he chose to go for it on 4th down and failed each time. That's a possible 15 points he left on the field and we only beat them by 11 points, 31-20. Freeze also had alot better defenses and special team units at Ole Miss compared to Kiffin. I'm stoked about this hire. WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Freak 2,539 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Kiffen signed it not one second before Jimmy told him to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton controls the agents, controls the ad's, controls a lot of the assistant coaches and probably bybasses certain ad's alltogether and talks directly to the boosters. Its quite impressive. I see he has given a list to Freeze of assistant coaches per media reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be ranked 1 thru 3 in any way and it would be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
