Kiffin trying to hold Ole Miss Hostage

[camridleyfan]

Kiffin allegedly has told assistants that if they are not on the plane tomorrow they don't have jobs at LSU after the season. Apparently to put Keith Carter the ADs feet to the fire by threatening to tank their playoffs assistant pool if he doesn't get his way.   He wants to have his cake and eat it too by taking the LSU job but coaching through the playoffs.  Lines up with the college gameday talking points from Sexton clients herbstreit and saban.  Unreal......

I was just reading about t hat situation, damn crazy. The off-season is going to be insane with the portal opening up and guys getting 30 day windows when their coaches leave, etc. Most of the hires aren't like years past with big names floating around everywhere. Kiffin to LSU will be dangerous but I have a feeling he should've stayed at Ole Miss, he's proven time and time again that he can't handle big expectations. 

Haven't heard about Penn State in ages, what are they even doing? Lol. Looks like Sumarall is now the Florida focus, not sure the fanbase is going to be happy with another G5 HC. Tulane made him an offer to stay, but I'd think he'd take the Florida job. Arky is after the Bama DC and Memphis HC. Golesh was their original target but it looks like Auburn is going to snag him.

Going to be so much fun in the off-season.

This should tell you where Kiffin‘s priorities are right now, as he’s more worried about assembling his LSU staff and locking down the current LSU recruiting class by NAD1 (Wednesday, Dec 3) than he is about prepping Ole Miss for their playoff game in two weeks.  

And Kiffin’s threat to his assistant coaches is an empty one.  They are under contract to Ole Miss (not to Lane Kiffin).  if Kiffin threatens to not hire his current assistants at LSU if “they’re not on the plane today”, what’s he going to do?  Hire a whole new staff of assistants instead?  How exactly does that help Kiffin & LSU for next season?

Kiffin wants to introduce his entire staff at LSU this afternoon for recruiting purposes…so that recruits who’ll be signing on NSD1 this Wednesday will at least know who their position coach will be at LSU.

Ole Miss is right to tell Kiffin to pound sand and hold these assistant coaches  through the end of their contracts, which likely coincides with the end of Ole Miss’ playoff run (whenever that may be).  And it’s very likely these assistants’ contracts have clauses that forbid them from recruiting for another school while employed by Ole Miss (so there’s a legal risk for these assistants).

If Kiffin leaves and guts the coaching staff at Ole Miss, then Ole Miss should miss the playoffs. The precedent has been set with Florida State. I understand it was different because their quarterback got hurt, but losing half or more of your staff would be detrimental.

I agree!! It’s worse than QB1 getting hurt IMO. This affects every single player. It’s even worse that it’s happening to those kids in the middle of a historically good season for them! If I’m a recruit I’m looking at this and staying as far away from Lame Kiffin as I can.
