Stamford Bridge emptying out after 60 minutes in a Champions League tie tells you all you need to know about the Clearlake era at our club. A scathing scenario for Chelsea’s owners.
"I don't think there's anyone who understands the portal as well as Lane [Kiffin]. ... The dude knows how to build football teams in the modern day."
—@LRiddickESPN on Lane Kiffin's success in the offseason 👀
Interesting context from Dabo Swinney on Luke Ferrelli: Said he came to Clemson for an OV right after an Ole Miss OV. Dabo asked how that Ole Miss visit went and Ferrelli's dad said '"Not good. ... It was a mess, it was unorganized, it was chaos.'"
Where is @RossDellenger with the thread on this one and the team that tampered to get him to enter the portal. Hold the same energy you did with Demond Williams
****My take on all of what’s happening ****
A) By no means am I defending Lane when I say this but for 4 of the 6 years he was the HC at Ole Miss he was encouraged and enabled to go take players from other schools via the portal. There have been guys who had “contracts” that Ole Miss has stolen (Walter Nolan from Texas A&M comes to mind immediately) so - if OM was somehow expecting that Lane would just let every good player stay without a fight … then that’s just not realistic.
I don’t have any issue. If anyone should know what Lane is truly capable of - it should definitely be Ole Miss Football. He fights dirty and has a mean streak. Go fight dirtier and be nastier is what I would tell you if you don’t like that.
B) I keep reading about how Ole Miss is burning and all that and I don’t get it. If I’m Ole Miss and the day Lane left you would have said on the last day of the portal you will lose WR5, LT that didn’t play , TJ and Princewill and that is it - you would have thought that would have been a huge success. You keep every returning starter including RB, QB , DT , DT , C , G ,WR2 etc. it’s 2026 you’re going to lose kids every year. There might be more - who knows but you brought in upgrades everywhere. If Trinidad Chambliss is eligible they’re a Top 5 team in the country pre season with what they have returning.
C) LSU hired the highest profile HC in America and gave him tons of cash to go recruit kids. Did people think he wasn’t going to get great players ? I know him - so I certainly didn’t think that would happen. He signs good players. News flash …. LSU is going to be good. Duh.
They will both be Top 10 teams entering the season
