re: Kiffin is the Best Coach who is Available. If disagree, name available coach who is Better

For one right now Kiffin isn't available until he finishes his season at Ole Miss.

So question is a moot point.

He is such a bad actor

Well, except on-field success both recent (SEC championship appearance in 2019 and 2022 and National Championship in 2019 with the best collegiate offense ever assembled) and the program's historic success.

And, well, potential future success. A uniquely fertile recruiting base with no other P4 schools within a 250 mile radius as well as some of the best facilities, NIL and fan support for success in the Country. 5 of the best NFL receivers were born within 75 miles of Baton Rouge, and that type of skilled talent isn't going away.

Are they solvent? (you're not)

This is a farse. LSU could pay Kelly's buyout and hire the highest paid coach and still support facility renovation and a competitive NIL without much issue if they need to. Just because LSU's fired AD gave a terrible contract to Brian Kelly and the admin is negotiating with Kelly's hostile legal team who's spreading slander to leverage the university doesn't mean LSU is broke.

quote:

Who is the AD I will be working for?

Verge Ausberry, a football guy who's fully committed and will support the football team as the bell cow of the University. You can talk all the shite you want about him, but I assure you he's fully committed to LSU football and whoever is the new coach.

Will I have to tolerate meddlers?

This is LSU's biggest problem RIGHT NOW because of a high profile dumb arse in the governor's mansion, but it will all be over once they hire a coach. This hasn't always been the problem. Saban, Miles, Orgeron, and Kelly were not meddled with, but this was a unique time when LSU was without a president and the head coach was fired midseason making the meddling seem like more than it really is. Any time a politician (especially a republican LA governor who fits every national stereotype) gets involved 50% of people and all of the media will create overblown controversy.

Trust that LSU football will succeed sooner than Utenn. Even coming out of this mistake of hiring Brian Kelly and the drama that ensued, they are a better football program. Remember that LSU beat the shite out of everyone with Ed F'ing Orgeron as HC.

If Heupel or most every other HC in the country were honest, they would look at all of the advantages that LSU has including the likely current and future athletes playing at LSU, and beg LSU to hire them. In this day and age of college football, NIL money is King, but the other recruiting advantages that have always existed remain. Proximity and appearance are huge! What university in the country can show more national athletic representation than LSU? The reputation that has almost every ESPN show and social media platform full of LSU athletes.

If LSU finds and hires the right coach, everyone knows what is going to happen rather quickly.

How much would Knoxville being a much nicer place than BR factor into this?

There are probably at least 10 better and available coaches. They just need to be vetted and figured out. Do we have the AD and people to do that and make it happen? That's the big unknown at the moment.

So did BK. Although it was pre-CFP.... he still accomplished the same as Freeman, which is ZERO national championships.

Yep

They just need to do their homework.

He’s not available.

Yep !!!!!
