Agree that someone will take a run at Lincoln. SDS even mentioned him for Florida. 
 

I think Lanning has a great setup. He’s got all the pieces for an NC. And I think that working for one mega-donor like Knight, is better than fending off the loony SEC donor pool. Knight’s investments in Oregon make sense— he’d love to win an NC but he really wants Oregon football to be a cool brand ambassador for Nike. 
 

The schools opening in the South, especially if Auburn enters the chat, are pressure cookers where almost no one will meet the demands. 

He's 87. I think he's a lot more interested in Oregon winning a national championship at this stage of his life versus being a cool brand ambassador than he was when he was younger.

What are you even going to have to pay Kiffin? $15m for 10 years? Is he really worth that?

He can make that Texas UF tailgate party gross over $65k.   PS that man is still my hero.

Considering his past, Kiffin should use this to get as much as he can and stick with Ole Miss. It's finally working for him as a head coach, why mess with what's working?

The Walton family and who else?

Lot of money in Arkansas.  Tyson Foods ( John Tyson recruited Calipari and committed the $), jb hunt trucking, Stephens Inc, jerry jones family, Dillard family, and lots of early investors in those companies.

Athletically, Cal could be in the same conversation.

Kind of a split flagship with UCLA.

If you're talking athletically then obviously it's not LSU and there are schools by far worse than Cal - including a bunch that don't play FBS football.

And a fair amount of low-profile timber and oil money that is more likely to have connection to UA.

A lot of Arkansas' high profile big money is to UA as the Bass family is to UT, for example.

This. Depends on what he wants. But he has a chance to write his own history at Ole Miss like Cignetti at Indiana. Neither school has had that type of success. He can sit down with Ole Miss and say “this is what I need to make shit happen.” You will always be compared to who came before you at LSU and Florida. And LSU still has no qualms about firing you even when you do win. Penn State is not an option if I am Lane but if they back up the Brinks truck it’s a conference he’s never really been in. I’d stay at Ole Miss and be a legend. People there can’t really compare you unfavorably to anyone who came before you. My three cents.

Cal has not done shit in the major sports in my lifetime, relative to resources and talent. 
2x they've gone 10-2 in football. 
In hoops, they made a Sweet 16 and won an NIT

In baseball, they tied for 1st in 1980 and have never been to the CWS. 
 

As a flagship university they certainly carry the water academically; but the question about LSU was sports.  Cal doesn't remotely approach LSU's success in the arena.

He would have a better chance and more money to do what he needs to do to win at Florida. 

 

Mississippi is just as bad financially as LSU, but LSU has more alums so a bigger base.

Tyler Chicken too. They were involved in a trade with the Yankees that Steinbrenner negotiated.

Lane wants to be Spurrier so bad but he just isn’t. Spurrier had another level of the rizz.

This was pretty good, responding to Venables saying that OU had the better team on Saturday

Florida is gonna wind up with James Franklin when they can't pull Kiffin or Lanning. Rhule or Matt Campbell to PSU? Kenny Dillingham to FSU when it opens up? What the hell is LSUs backup plan, Clark Lea? And then a bunch of retreads are gonna get new life somewhere with all the movement and everyone is getting raises
