Comfortable in Oxford.

I can't imagine why he'd leave for the hellscape that is Florida though.

1. Top 5 HC job in college football


This is only in LSU fans heads in 2025.

Top 10, yes.

quote:

2. Fat salary


It’s going to be very comparable, and probably almost identical to the extension offered, or a UF offer.

quote:

3. Ton of NIL money


Compared to what? It will be significantly less than a ton after what BK’s buyout and the subsequent legal war will cost.

quote:

4. In state recruiting is off the charts


You don’t recruit anymore, you buy. Recruiting is dead.

quote:

5. Top notch facilities


Very comparable to most SEC opponents in 2025, and doesn’t really move the needle anymore in the age of NIL.

6. Practically a king in Louisiana


We have all seen Tiger Stadium boo their coach and their team more than any other venue in the conference.

There’s literally no objectivity over here with you guys. You fired Kelly after he lost to three ranked teams and didn’t even have a losing record at the time. You refuse to pay him his buyout. Your governor is an asshat. Your A.D. is a DEI hire. Your city is a shite hole. Your governor insulted the most powerful person in college football. And the last time your job was open that Lane wanted it. You basically said he wasn’t good enough.

We are 12th in recruiting. Doesn’t even matter, with the money LSU has in NIL he can go get whoever he wants and build a team in the first year lol

No he can’t, because A&M, Texas, Michigan, and other schools with a lot more money can always bid more. It’s not that simple.

You think he is comfortable? If he was comfortable he would have done signed that contract that is sitting on his desk! These openings don’t happen often he wants this if he don’t get it someone else will !

False. Maybe bow out now before you embarrass yourself further.

All I say is if you come here, you gotta have big balls. I would like to say Kiffin has balls. If you suck we hate you, if you win your royalty. It’s that simple and he knows that.



Yeah, but it is a short lived reign. All three of the LSU national championship coaches this century have had their names dragged through the mud by fervent Tiger fans and two were beheaded.
