Yeah if Iām Lane I take the extra few million and stay put. His son just got the starting job at Oxford high, your kids seem happy. Im not actually sure the ceiling is that much higher at Florida. It definitely is at LSU, but Florida right now is kind of a mess. Theyāve got a lot to figure out that Ole Miss already has and youāre not getting relief from the expectations while it gets sorted.
If you do exactly what youāre doing at Ole Miss for 10 more years you probably get a statue. And you can get city grocery shrimp and grits and time you want.
I do think Lane is a good coach! The USC thing seems like it was harder than we realized at the time and FAU was a hard job when he took it! His offenses at bama were better than Sark or BoBās in my opinion too. I think heād do well at LSU or Florida. I just donāt think heāll be spurrier or Saban because those runs arenāt possible anymore.
I think Franklin would do well at Florida too. Ditto Arkansas. Not as sure about LSU and Auburn. Donāt think you can give Franklin the Auburn job with his track record in the big ones. They need a win against bama every couple of years.
