I’m willing to bet it’s pretty damn common. Otherwise he wouldn’t be earning lottery money today. 

He knows how to win games. A lot of schools are willing to overlook a lot if it makes them money and wins them games.

Well your original point was the calendar was the only reason this situation happened.  Not that it played a role (which is a much better and obvious statement). 

It is why LSU needed him today and not patiently and discreetly wait for the season to end. NFL has a far more sensible calendar for this stuff.

Surely Lane wasn’t toxic in the NFL either then, right?

And, most programs don’t consider his antics deal killers. Unlike, say, Art Briles.

Um, he didn’t win. Pretty much like most Raiders coaches this century.
 

And aged Al Davis was spinning through coaches late in his life. Sark even turned him down.

Gotcha so you’re playing the ignorant game. Have a nice night.

Did I miss something besides his Raiders experience? Please enlighten us all!

I guess going down the NFL rabbit hole didn’t go how you thought.

Your words. Not mine. 

Touche

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t buy the narrative that Lane elevated Ole Miss. At best, I think it was a 70/30 kind of deal.

Their teams have been extremely portal heavy and Lane has benefitted from an aggressive NIL splurge by Ole Miss during this period.

It takes two to tango and while I believe he’s a great offensive mind and good HC, I don’t think it’s fair to act like Ole Miss owes him anything (at least not after how this has all transpired). Ole Miss did their share in supplying him with the roster to compete.

You called someone a snowflake but you seemingly want to get the last word in each time, saying you don’t care about a$$ hole Kiffin but continuing to respond, doesn’t that kind of make you the snowflake?

Find someone to love you the way oldest horn loves to argue 😭🤣

It's tiresome that when we, as a staff, get notified about message board activity that could be considered out of bounds, it's the same handful of posters.

There are a select few posters who are souring the message board experience for everyone else. This isn't your Facebook page or social media account.

Please stop derailing threads with personal attacks.

A few of you are running the risk of losing your posting privileges, simply because you don't seem capable of conversing with others without resorting to personal insults or foul language.

I don't care who started it. Message each other off the board if you want to finish it.

Now that the Lane Show is over, who is Penn State realistically looking at?

I would absolutely hire Petrino. A top 2-3 in game play caller IMO

Do I think Sark would? I do not. 

Petrino is a really good play caller. I think Sark should kick the tires on him, but as you said, I don't think he will either.

I’m going to be SHOCKED if Sark shifts gears and lets anybody else control his offense.
 

I just hope he adjusts some things. Our philosophy doesn’t seem complementary or physical enough.

I’d look elsewhere than Petrino.

I agree with you, just spitballing is all. 

There definitely needs to be some self reflection and adjustments in the off-season though, agreed.

I could see him picking a clone like Day did this year with Hartline. But he’ll be active on the headset regardless.

There will be openings in the big 12 and ACC, Riley would absolutely kill it in those conferences because there's only 1-2 major games a year. a la when he was at ou in the big 12.

He would be dangerous at SMU, TCU, and Baylor. Maybe Zona and Colorado too if he can get NIL in order.

How ironic given your post was jumping in.
