Hello, and welcome to your Wednesday FOIAbites.
For those of you who are new here, I just want to walk you through our publishing schedule. We run stories twice a week, on Wednesday and Thursday.
Our Wednesday columns are just for paid subscribers to FOIAball. We call them FOIAbites. Our Thursday features (like last week’s fireworks story) are typically free for everyone to read.
Pretty easy, right? Sometimes we mix things up, because routine gets boring and we like to keep you on your toes. But that’s basically how it works.
Today, we’ve got the delightfully deranged emails Ole Miss fans sent AD Keith Carter during the Lane Kiffin-LSU saga. And we spoke to an athletic director from a major program who let us know how they really feel when these fuming screeds appear in their inbox.
How Ole Miss fans really feel about Lane Kiffin
When it became clear that Lane Kiffin was ditching Oxford for Baton Rouge, Ole Miss Athletic Director Keith Carter faced a difficult choice.
Tell Kiffin to leave immediately and head into the postseason without the man who just steered the Rebels to their best season in team history. Let him keep coaching and allow a cancerous narcissist to hold your program hostage for the foreseeable future.
Waste a charmed season. Take the pyrrhic victories.
But Carter didn’t have to make the decision alone. He had the team’s most unhinged fans in his inbox, advising him every step of the way.
