How is, "If you make me leave I'm going to start hiring staff immediately which means either taking guys with me or hiring guys in place of those who decided to stay on for the playoffs, meaning they won't work for me and you won't keep them either" a "threat"?

"Threat" is PR language put out there by Ole Miss and people are just gobbling it up because it sounds sensational.

HE THREATENED OLE MISS OH MY GOD!!

Well, let's see, making plans to hire/negotiating with those still under contract might be considered a breach of fiduciary duty, or the duty owed an employee to employer.

And potentially also tortious interference with contract, once no longer employed.

I wonder what kind of advice Saban gave Kiffin. We know he said he relies on him particularly with Monte (RIP) gone. 
 

what did Saban say? 
 

go into the AD meeting guns blazing? Dick it up? Fuck them Rebels? Fuck them Land Sharks? If negotiations go sour threaten everyone? 
 

I agree the rules are fucked. I agree.
 

also Ole Miss was foolish to believe he was coming back when he didn’t immediately announce he was staying with them once Florida and then LSU became open. It’s clear they had no clue or deluded themselves out of a clue. 
 

The timing of all this shit sucks. The rules suck.
 

I think Lane sucks for leaving. but the money Nicole? It’s more money. More money more problems. And the place he is going isn’t stable at all.
 

That’s my view. He’s batshit crazy to go to a school that still pines for Saban. He ain’t HIM. He’s like sloppy seconds. and if he don’t produces like 2027 and brings them the MNC they will fucking ride his ass. lane has proven he can taken a mid and make it next level. For sure. But what about taking essentially a blue blood and making it reach the MNC. He ain’t done it yet. Can he? What happens if he doesn’t get it done by 2028? 
 

LSU has dirty monied up and will expect big results. They are showing they have mafia or loanshark like integrity and tendencies. And I guarantee if he bags an MNC and the Bama slot opens up he gone. And LSU can torture other hapless folk who take the position like it’s a weird science experiment in a lab. I think he’s batshit. Ole Miss seemingly loved him and they would pour as much as they could into getting the athletes he would need. He got outcoached by Kirby Smart. There is no NIL money fix for that shit. Georgia Tech beats Georgia with Ole Miss level talent. Can Kiffin out couch routinely Texas, Smart, DeBoer every year? We are all on same athlete level. Can he? LSU is a delusional cess pool crime matrix. If he doesn’t get it done where Miles and Coach O did what does that say? NIL and portal has made a ton of teams more competitive now.

You smart and are one with the law. Let’s flesh this one out. My BF is a trial attorney and he was saying the same thing. Would they do that? Sure. They are that pissed that they’d sue. What does that look like? Would they win? What would Kiffin’s defense be? The rules are shit and set up to suck and it’s not my fault?

Are you saying he should have quit his team weeks ago?

He did the right thing. 

I’m saying he drug it out for weeks, it wasn’t quick. He spent time in Gainesville and Baton Rouge during those weeks being courted

I struggle to accept the idea that LSU has this mythical edge because they’re the only large program in a state that has talent. I’ve seen a chart floating around that shows NFL players per state capita with LA at the top. Wtf does that even mean. The same chart shows DC is a hotbed of talent but should Georgetown be a top team in D1?

yes, I bet that some mommas and daddies want their son to be nearby in BR and all of their relatives can see them play, But this isn’t 1950 where parents and relatives can’t easily travel. Boosters can effectively hand money to parents now to cover the costs. And it’s not like the other SEC school are far away to begin with.

finally every coach will remind recruits that Kiffin has a history of walking away from players while he demands loyalty.

kiffin will be gone within 5.

I don't think he personally went to either.

Layla and Arch went to Gainesville to scope out his potential high school.

Regarding tortious interference, it would be a spite suit, depending on assistant contracts.

If they're like most schools, they're on one-year contracts, so they probably couldn't prove much in the way of damages because there's little expectation of entitlement to their services beyond the existing contract.  Also, without their hiring coach at the top, their services aren't terribly valuable.  But they could fuzz up an argument maybe that a new coach would have wanted the choice to renew their contracts.

Then again, every time a new coach is hired away, their contract is "interfered with" by the hiring school and same with any assistants he brings with him.

The breach of fiduciary/employee duty would probably just generate cause for firing.  But that would require him to be fired before he resigns, most likely.

Probably all this would do is make a mess and make UM a less attractive employer.  And what they can't ultimately do is force him to stay at Ole Miss to complete his contract.

This kind of thing could come up in every hiring scenario, although it is somewhat unusual for the coach to "announce" or "threaten" like Kiffin and I suppose some damages could result from that, taking it out of the usual scenario where no one uses.

That didn't seem to be a concern with LSU given the way they handled Brian Kelly's termination.
