SUBSCRIBER EPISODE: Godfrey is back with Alex and Richard to talk about this moment in the coach carousel. Lane Kiffin continues to make Ole Miss wait, and the rest of the SEC is right there with the Rebels. In this episode:

Kiffin didn’t think his family’s private plane tourism around the SEC would go unnoticed, did he?

The possibility of a coach leaving a team not just in the midst of a playoff race, but right before that team plays a home playoff game

Why we can’t blame Ole Miss for being furious (and why LSU and Florida will be their own kinds of mad in different scenarios)

Ole Miss’ contingency options if Kiffin walks … or just doesn’t decide

What happens if Kiffin just doesn’t make a decision?

James Franklin to Virginia Tech

Does Franklin taking this job send a good signal about the Hokies’ level of financial seriousness?

Why Franklin will be “old-school James” in Blacksburg

Wisconsin is keeping Luke Fickell, and Maryland is keeping Mike Locksley. This is a new kind of financial arbitrage in hiring/firing decisions

Producer: Anthony Vito
