i agree with you in general, but that was just a bizarre sequence. he kept hesitating like he was just at a loss for words. and then the smugness with which he kept insisting Kiffin was going to be a head coach SOMEWHERE and LSU was going to have to look elsewhere. honestly, he looked devastated.

and i am the last guy to say (insert name) hates LSU...but that was just weird.

He also said that Herman would have killed it at LSU, and that Texas was a cess pool.

Maybe, just maybe, he's right about Kiffin. Your slip is showing.

1. His name is Kirk
2. "Hard on" means you like something, not despise it
3. He's not wrong that Kiffin won't be our OC
4. He doesn't hate LSU

When we botch Miles' firing last year and hire Coach O we don't exactly command respect as a big time CFB program.

Kirk did appear to be concerned Kiffin may end up at LSU.

Paul also appeared upset Houston did not hire Lane.

I have seen Kirk talk good about LSU before, but it is obvious, at least to me, they are not happy with the possibility of Kiffin landing at LSU

Was it this preseason or leading up to the 2015 season that Herbstreit predicted us to win the SEC and make the playoffs? When LSU is predicted to be solid, he is generally very complimentary of the Tigers and hypes them even a little more than his colleagues.

Herbie is about connected to Lsu and what goes on at Lsu as Mike bilotti and mark may. They know jack shiiiat and are making "educated guesses" at best

IIRC it was 2015. I agree he is usually positive when it come to the Tigers. For some reason he seems very emotional at the thought of Kiffin at LSU. Weird...

Kinda sounds like you need to get a life if the manner in which a fellow poster reacts to an ESPN broadcast actually bothers you to this extent.

Herbie preferring Big 10 over SEC and OSU over LSU isn't news.

OP thank you for demonstrating what is wrong with all of this supposed "journalism" today.

Happened to catch the replay this morning, and Herbstreit showed no animosity toward LSU at all. His entire point was that Kiffin will get a HC gig for next year, so LSU will have to look elsewhere. He wasn't knocking LSU or insinuating that Kiffin was never considering us or that he would never leave Bama for LSU or anything like that, just stating that he thinks that he won't be an option once he gets a shot at HC. He just kept repeating "Lane Kiffin will be a head coach".

But you come here and post a completely skewed and unsubstantiated take based on a misinterpretation of what was said, and that confirms what many already want to believe, so without seeing it they run with it and it becomes fact in their minds for all time.

It's the same way with these "sources", many fictitious. A blogger or TV guy writes something based on something that someone might or might not have heard from someone that might or might not have any real info on what is happening and all of a sudden, Kiffin to UH is imminent and its some "shock" when Applewhite is hired and we hear Kiffin wasn't even really one of their top choices.

In that same segment, Finebaum and Herbstreit cited completely different info from supposed Bama insiders, one claiming that Sark was going to be OC next year, and the other saying Sark would not be retained.

It's just a joke. Fodder for the masses, and we all continue to eat it up because what the hell else is there to do.

This is accurate. He was actually texting on his phone while Paul opened the segment, and did seem very distracted and pretty unprepared for the segment. Not sure what was going on with him but it was a very weird and off the mark segment for a guy that is usually as polished and well spoken as anyone on that network.

He was kind of giggling and searching for words throughout the segment, but that wasn't directed only or primarily at LSU, just an overall lack of preparedness or focus for the segment.


He was not bashing LSU in any way though.
