We all know you just don’t want to lose The Lane Train 🚂 at Ole Miss since that’s where your heart really is!!! 😂😂 You got me there. Lane could be great at Auburn. I think he's a better fit at Ole Miss, but that's just me. I also think he's someone who gets bored easily, and I wonder how long he would stay at Auburn, in college football, or in coaching in general. He's just an odd bird. I could be reading him wrong. He could be the kind of person who would remain in a job for 5+ years, I don't know. Not saying that should disqualify him, but I think it's a consideration if choosing between him and some of the other names mentioned. If he's the best coach we can get, then Auburn should hire him.

Edit: His people have contacted us… I hope someone didn’t see Charles Kelly and confuse it for Chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about his UGA work, their defense was tops b4 he ever showed up with most giving Smart that credit. No way to know that, but he may be great.

No way to know that, but he may be great. This is true but Smart and Saban both think very highly of him. As I suggested, if we don’t give him a chance, another SEC program will. What will be the result is anyone’s guess, but given his recruiting chops and pedigree, and his short stint at Oregon, I would be betting on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU North 164 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Need help in understanding coach searches: Usually the search is kept close to the vest with little info forthcoming from the searching party. Is this primarily to protect the people being contacted or to avoid the "egg on the face" when rejected? Maybe both? Sure does lead to a lot of speculation and opion battles among fans and pundits alike. Maybe certain factions like all the attention it generates.

And you know, he wasn't a terrible recruiter. But he isn't ready yet. I think we can ill-afford another coaching change that nets us a staff of "young, up-and-coming" G5 position coaches that no one knows. Maybe next-go-round though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been joking around for weeks that it would be him because like you said it would be very JABA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
