A Guess at what’s going on inside Kiffin’s brain and decision making

Lane Kiffin is no dummy and has been around big time/the big stage college football for a long time. He knows that LSU, and UF are programs NIL era or pre NIL era, that can produce the opportunity to win more than 1 NC in a 15 year period. Besides Alabama, there’s only 2 programs with more than 2 NCs in the last 25 years= LSU and Ohio State.

That being said, he knows that if he were the coach, or he at least has the self belief, that he could win multiple NCs at LSU if he became the coach. Again, NIL at this point evens out, so LSU has NIL $$, so does UF and so does OM. What OM doesn’t have is the talent LSU does within 2.5 hrs from campus.

So IF he DOESN’T take the LSU job, he knows that LSU will get a really good coach that can put rosters together and develop the players, and that coach will have the chance to win multiple NCs. All the while he’ll have to coach against LSU and lose 7 or 8 of their next 10 games against LSU.

So, knowing all of that, having seen what it looks like, and how it’s down, and where the players are that everyone wants, wouldn’t LK rather not pass up LSU?

Am I being too logical? Basically what I’m getting at is if Kiffin is who we think he is, and knows what he knows, talks to who we think he talks to, wouldn’t his thought be “I’m and idiot if I don’t take the LSU job”.
