re: Hypothetically, how would Kiffin do at LSU?

The list of reasons people do not like kiffin is always superficial and usually irrelevant when comparing him to other available candidates.

I just do not agree that a man's penchant for hard work and focus is irrelevant to his chances of success. If all great FB coaches have one thing in common, it's that. Maybe his public persona is misleading, but Lane seems undisciplined.

I think he’d be really good for about 3 years then he’d get bored and look for something else new and shiny. He’s a literal man child.

This. I think he would be good, but he wouldn’t last. Also, his recruiting hasn’t been any better than average so far at Ole Miss. Luke was as good or better, which is a bit surprising. That wouldn’t fly here.

I’d rather Mel Tucker than Kiffin.

This is a lazy take, not based in reality.

The evidence in his resume is pretty clear. Whether it was him jumping for any move up the ladder or his own hubris costing him a job, he’s never stayed anywhere very long. Maybe he changes, but there is literally 0 evidence of this right now.

All of the posts that a job like LSU or UF would somehow be different read like a woman thinking her man could be perfect if she could just change a few things about him. We all know how that ends up.

I just watched him give the stinkeye to a guy for not making a nearly impossible play and down a punt at the one. He's a douche.

I just rewinded and watched again. It doesn't show who Lane was talking to or about what

Okay, so if he’s a “literal” man child, is he a 46 year old who looks like a kid, or is he a kid who looks like an adult?

Or, and I’m just spitballing here, maybe you don’t know what literal means.

In other words Lane is penalized because he's a very good coach. Fans at schools with head coach openings say "Lane would succeed but then he'd leave for the NFL." Those fans have loser mentalities. Hire somebody else after Lane.

With the possible exception of Tennessee to USC, Kiffin has made no moves that any other coach wouldn’t make.

And he had a personal connection to USC, so that’s understandable.

So the thought that he just leaves randomly is silly.

bullshite. There’s a point where you hire him, but he’s not the best coach on the board by a mile. You go for the guys who you think are as good or better and are more likely to stay and build your program, if successful. You don’t take him unless a few people say no first because they are better fits for multiple reasons.
