I think this year's coaching carousel will eventually see UK and Ole Miss scrambling to find new coaches.
It's odd that Stoops has not attracted more attention. I think there's a "its just Kentucky" bias maybe. As good as they seem this year, that may well change. The story since he has been there is strong D and run game, so so QBs, but apparently they now have a QB with NFL potential. How the hell did that happen at Kentucky
Stoops seems really happy there, but if he does go, it's to the Vols advantage to say the least.
They were discussing Lane on SECN earlier this week, and saying it would have to be just the right opportunity. Basically he is too big for a lot of jobs (he wouldn't want them, Ole Miss is a pretty decent gig) and there are a lot of more prominent programs that will probably pass (and have in the past). One thing they specifically said is that he would avoid Nebraska like the plague, as would just about anyone with ambition.
The talk was that UCLA would be a very likely place for Lane to go, but they are currently 5-0, so I don't see that happening anytime soon.
I could maybe see Colorado...but is that really a step up from Ole Miss at this point? I don't think so.
It will be interesting to see. No matter where Lane ends up, I want the Vols to play him again, for sure.
My guess is he ends up at OU. Not sure how long it will take them to jettison their current coach. My guess is next season, but who knows.
