From my connections. We paid Nick close to a 7 figure deal to lead the search with the caveat that he was the back up plan if he couldn’t deliver.


That is highly doubtful. If we paid him $2 there would be a paper trail.

Even though not one person agrees with you, the only person's vote I care about is Lane Kiffin's. And he clearly thinks we're elite. So suck it.

All the Saban talk was very true. LSU wanted and needs long term, which is exactly why they pushed so hard for Lane, but if they couldn’t get him, it was going to be Saban. Saban really does love LSU and he’s close with Verge… and that’s my source before you come after me

Don’t care if Nick Saban was paid to help in the HC search, he did us a solid.

Bunch of fake news. Lane Kiffin didn’t care what Nick Saban thought. That’s all Lane being a showman. He’s 50 years old. A man that age, who is a leader, makes personal decisions on his own.

Of course you realize the relationship between Lane and Saban was toxic. Might be luring him into a trap

Dude, that’s pretty significant paranoia.

This is definitely true, but there is so much going on behind the scenes that you probably wouldn’t understand.

Salty AF. Rebel tears are the saltiest of tears. Maybe Kelly will be your coach next year. He’s salty too.

If you were really around back then, you wouldn't compare DiNardo to Curley. DiNardo started us on the road back to success, and it would have continued except for Lou Tepper.

LSU is Omiss big brother; and big brothers get what they want. Hope you enjoyed your best season since the invention of the colored television. You guys will always be the runts of the SEC. Go back to being you.

All true but you don’t have to explain it to him.

Saban brought LSU from an above avg program to ELITE.


The only time LSU has been elite, was one year in 2019. We came pretty close in other years where we played in the national championship game once or twice. Other than that, LSU has been a middle of the pack and ‘pretty good’ SEC team for most of the last 25 years. We are far from elite.
