No he's not. But watching presumably adult males behaving like little girls who are about to touch Taylor Swift is amusing.

The mania on here means literally nothing. There is absolutely zero connection between the mania on here and real life.

loyalty being a big one



This is so tired and lazy.

Dude left ONE job early, and that was to go back to the place he never wanted to leave in the first place but crazy arse Al Davis lured him as the youngest coach in NFL history, then tanked the whole thing forcing him to work with a QB he didn’t want to draft and ended up being a huge bust.


He stayed at SC for 6 years as an assistant before Davis made that offer he couldn’t refuse.

He stayed at Bama for three years despite offers every year.

FAU three years despite offers every year.

And now he’s been in Oxford for SIX years despite offers every year.

The next stop is his last.

He saw Carroll build up SC into a mini dynasty and was a big part of turning Saban’s initial run into the greatest dynasty in modern history, and now he’s looking to do the same on his own.

No he isn’t. It’s fun and all but this is a huge investment in a guy that hasn’t won championships


After what Elko did to us we shoulda stuck our toe in that pond. Jesus.


I’m fine w the hire, it’s gonna be fun.

I don’t think he is. Especially at the quoted price. I think he would be an improvement at worst, but $14+ mil per year is dynasty money and he hasn’t given any indication he can deliver that.

Hell no

If he comes to LSU I have no doubt he'll be successful, very successful but he'll be NFL bound as soon as possible

Fair question - some thoughts:

1. He projects to do very well at LSU based on his record with Ole Miss
2. He's widely considered the best coach "available"
3. Florida also wants him and he's currently at Ole Miss...that'll generate plenty of fuss

Worth is subjective...but the fuss isn't all too surprising after breaking it down. Whether or not he's worth it is an opinion, but ill say the fuss was unavoidable.

Kiffin surely hasn’t helped his image with the fan base. Kelly came in like a dud firecracker. Kiffin is coming in like a flamed-out bottle rocket. The pressure to win will be immense.

Or Bama.

I think that’s his ultimate end of the rainbow.

I think he will win a championship at LSU. My only concern is, when he does, will he Ed O it and worry more about partying, hookers, and blow or will he stay focused and keep the program rolling. We know he has a history of this kind of behavior

I am old enough to remember a time when ‘cope’ was never, ever used as a noun .
