Good gosh...LSU had a massive buyout to pay, (53 Million) but fired the always-congenial Brian Kelly anyway. A ton of big openings...LSU, Florida and Penn State, and they all want the next great coach? Urban Meyer is not coming back, neither is Nick Saban. Indiana wisely wrapped up Curt Cignetti, although his buyout is only 15 million.

So, prepare to hear about Dan Lanning on everyone's list. (Until we lose another game!)

I'm a Grateful Duck....are YOU?

They’re all just going to get hired by other programs that fired their coach. A coaching musical chairs if you will. Kelly is going to have to work on a different accent.

Of course Lanning will be on everyone’s list.

But he’s not leaving, right?

I just hope he doesn’t receive an offer he can’t refuse.

He is not leaving although he might get "Cig'd"

Kelly should never coach again. I would rather root for ewe dub than Kelly ever since he killed that kid at practice.

Oh, and practice continued. Can't get any more despicable.

The money that the big schools will be throwing at the top coaches to leave their current school may very well reach the absurd Gonna be a wild ride.

There are some extremely talented players who can transfer out of the schools firing those coaches. The coaches who stay put could certainly bolster their rosters.

Early signing day is just around the corner. Committs may be decommitting.

At the beginning of the year, Kelly and Franklin were considered top coaches. So they will be on the merry-go-round and where it stops no one knows.....

Hope DL stays at Oregon until he gets that Natty.

Lanning’s buyout if he leaves on his own is only $20M. However, it’s been reported that he has $30M in unvested Nike stock if he stays through his contract. So, that $20 M buyout would likely have to go up to $50M to get him out of Eugene.

Well, Kiffin's daughter currently is dating a junior linebacker at LSU. Kiffin's ex-wife is a graduate of Florida, and the two are reportedly back together but still divorced.

As a 2028 QB prospect, Knox has already received several offers, including from SMU, Arkansas State, Western Kentucky, Sacramento State, Murray State, and FIU. Notably, top programs like Oregon, Florida, and LSU are on his radar. Knox recently visited LSU for a game.

But with all these choices, where is Ole Miss? Knox didn’t really put Ole Miss in his top 3 schools list. The reason? “I’m definitely not going to play for my dad,” Knox told Adam Gorney from Rivals. “I want to do my own stuff.”
