When exactly has Lane Kiffin not had a really shite defense?
You mean a shite defense like the defenses Lincoln Riley always consistently has every year of his head coaching career?
The team Lane Kiffin took over in Oxford was a basket case, but while the defense is not where Lane Kiffin wants it to be yet, since he is only in his second season, you or anyone one else, for that matter, can't make me believe that Lane Kiffin didn't learn the importance of good defense in the SEC from Nick Saban during the time Lane Kiffin was attending Nick Saban's coaching rehabilitation clinic in Alabama, while also being the OC that led Alabama's offense to the Natty in 2015.

Uhm, go watch Nick Saban's press conferences from the times he played against Lane Kiffin. Nick Saban has expressed nothing but mad respect for Lane Kiffin as a head coach.

Really? What disqualifies Kiffin from becoming the next LSU head coach in your unhinged mind? Did he rape a female or a male? Did he slit someone's throat? Did he perpetrate a terror attack? Did he rob a bank? Did manage an illegal pyramid scheme? Indeed, what exactly did Kiffin do that it is so bad that it would preclude Scott Woodward from hiring him.
Uhm, of course, Kiffin left Tennessee after only one year to take the head coaching job at USC, which is where he cut his teeth in coaching. Nonetheless, I don't blame Kiffin one iota for escaping that train wreck in Tennessee.
Of course, he later was fired from USC in the middle of his fourth season because he lacked maturity and because of the extremely harsh sanctions that were placed on USC by the NCAA.
However, since then Lane Kiffin spent three years rehabilitating at Nick Saban's coaching rehabilitation clinic in Alabama while also being the OC over there, where he also led Alabama's offense to a Natty in 2015.
Then in 2016 he became the head coach of Florid Atlantic and parlayed that very successful head coaching run into his current much better gig at Ole Miss.
Then after taking over that train wreck in Oxford, MS he inherited, all Kiffin has done is transform that basket case into an SEC contender in less that two years.
So what baggage in particular are you talking about? I mean, as far as I can see, Lane Kiffin's baggage reflects on him very well.
Now if you are talking about Lane Kiffin trolling various people on Twitter, he does it all in good fun and the people he trolls all have a good laugh together. As Lane Kiffin is good friends with everyone he trolls.
So again, please explain your idiotic baggage comment and also, please, by all means, explain in detail how Lane Kiffin is a snake in your unhinged mind
Agree

Lane Kiffin hasn't proven that lane Kiffin can do shite in the SEC, lane Kiffin hasn't.

That’s a tribute to Nick Saban, not Lane Kiffin. Saban treats every coach and opponent with mad respect.

The “unproven in the SEC” schtick is just lame. LSU isn’t confined to hiring a proven SEC coach. Also, it will be a stipulation that Riley hire a proven DC. Apparently Lane hasn’t figured that part out yet.
The only thing that is lame is your lame as response. As Lane Kiffin took over a basket case in Oxford and in less than two full years morphed it into a contender in the SEC West.
Moreover, Lincoln Riley has been a power 5 head football coach for far longer than Lane Kiffin has, and in every season, Lincoln Riley's defenses have consistently always been piss poor and despite the fact that he has often replaced DC.
His main problem is no decent DCs will work for him because they all know they will get short changed on talent, then blamed, and then be fired as scapegoats.
Nonetheless, LSU can easily stipulate that Lane Kiffin also hire a proven DC.

Okay, I'll entertain Lincoln Riley, but before I entertain Lincoln Riley as the next head coach of LSU, I need for someone to explain to me what makes Lincoln Riley, who is totally unproven in the SEC and who has consistently had a piss poor defense every year of his head coaching career, worth the 12 million dollars a year or more it would cost LSU. When Lane Kiffin, who is already a proven head coach in the SEC and who is a better offensive coach relative to Lincoln Riley could be had by LSU for around half as much. What justifies the humongous difference in value between the two coaches?
There’s no way this is a serious post.

You don’t want anyone to explain it to you. Your mind is already made up. Riley outperforms Kiffin in every metric related to being a Head Coach (win %, playoff appearances, conf titles, etc), and you still aren’t convinced. Kiffin is controversial and is generally recognized as immature from a public relations standpoint. He has baggage. And he’s on this crazy go for it on every 4th down mentality. Riley has none of those issues.
Your mind is made up, but it’s not because people can’t make a case for Riley over Kiffin. It’s because, for some reason, you like Kiffin more.
Metrics are meaningless unless both head football coaches have the same exact experience, and neither one of them do. So you know what you can do with your metrics.
Kiffin has not robbed a bank, he has not raped a female or a male, he has not perpetrated a terror attack, he has not slit anyone's throat, and he has not managed an illegal pyramid scheme. In fact, there is absolutely nothing whatsoever controversial in his background and if anyone is immature, it is you. In fact, there is absolutely nothing in Kiffin's background that would preclude Kiffin from becoming the next LSU head coach. Especially when you take into account the fact that Lincoln Riley would cost 12 plus million dollars a year at the least, relative to Lane Kiffin's 6 million dollars a year.
Moreover, only extremely ill informed low-information people like you condemn Lane Kiffin for his fourth down mentality, as you say, but nonetheless, you dumb moron, so far this season, Lane Kiffin has successfully converted 73.5 percent of his fourth down attempts. I mean, how stupid can you be?
Go ahead, you genius, make the case for Lincoln Riley ahead of Lane Kiffin. Put your dumb money where your severely mentally deficient mouth is. Either that, or STFU!

So, you provide zero data to prove your point, dismiss the data that I provide, and base your entire opinion on “because I watch college football.” Like I said, you believe what you believe, and that’s all you’re going to believe.
Why would I be so stupid? You haven't presented anything that could be construed as valid
Moreover, everything you have cited and said so far is nothing but utterly absurd. As you are nothing but an enormous ignoramus.

n fact I would prefer rehiring O over getting Kiffin.
A lot of you morons don't want to hire Kiffin because he previously hired O and you guys are afraid that he hires O again to be his recruiting coordinator.

I watched him literally pitch a hissy fit over a spilled glass of water at a banquet in front of 100s of people making the poor server cry while he cussed her up and down squealing like a 2 year old.
Okay, moron, where is your link that will validate your utterly absurd false allegation? You know put up or STFU!

I don't care how good a coach he is, he is a terrible, terrible human being. No thanks.
The only terrible human being here is you. As you are making totally false and made up allegations that you or anyone else, for that matter, can possibly validate.

Lol. You must be trolling.
Here’s more data for you:
Lincoln Riley has the 2nd highest winning percentage - ALL TIME - for coaches with 50 or more games in the history of college football.
His offensive rankings in his 5 seasons at OU are as follows: 1, 1, 3, 10, 11. That’s right… his lowest ranked offense was 11th in the country. He’s coached 2 Heisman winners.
Keep digging this hole, dummy. Kiffin can’t hold Riley’s jock.

Has Lane Kiffin been notified about your obsession with him? I mean, you really do love this man. It’s ok, though. I think you can learn to love Lincoln too. They both have that slender, offensive genius look to them. If you really try, you can love Riley too. Love him Micro… Love him.
No, have you notified your delusional pipe dream Lincoln Riley of your gay crush on him? While informing him that you will happily help him extort over 12 million dollars a year from LSU so LSU can have consistently piss poor defenses every year of his career?

Pump the brakes. He's immature and makes irrational decisions (at times) that cost his team (Bama game is one example)
He's also been at UTe, Raiders and USC and "meh"
