LSU coach Lane Kiffin spoke with reporters this week at the SEC Spring Meetings and was asked about his decision to take the LSU job over the Florida job. Per Outkick:

quote:
“A lot goes into decisions,” Kiffin said. “They have a great program. It really was not about that. It was really about LSU and the belief I had in what we could do at LSU and just how it fit and the timing of everything. So, it wasn’t really about any other program. It was specifically about LSU…

“There was a lot that went into it and a lot of conversations. Amazing program with great tradition and history. Just weighed everything out and made a decision. You’re not going to please everybody with decisions… At the end of the day, went through all kinds of different things, a number of different options, and made this decision for the next chapter.”

In other words you can do more at LSU because they're a better program with better athletes in the state per capita, with less in state rivals

No real in-state competition for talent in Louisiana versus Miami, FSU, UCF & USF for the University of Florida to recruit against. We’ll probably never know the weight of individual factors that went into the decision to choose LSU over UF. Kiffin has to say nice things about the UF program whatever his real feelings towards those jorts-wearing Tom Petty-looking inbreds might actually be.

Florida was offering the same salary. We guaranteed more NIL.
