He just confirmed what everyone else has been saying for days now. LSU is all in on Kiffin.
ETA: He did contradict what others here have been saying about Kiffin to LSU. He said nothing has been signed yet as of 7pm last night.
We didnt discuss amount but I'm sure it's high as giraffe ears.
He did add one bit of news that's not shocking in the least ( we all know how this firing and search have been run) , but still a little discouraging to hear.
Namely, LSU has no back up plan. It's all in for CLK and then figure it out later if this ends up being a Jimmy Sexton special.
I strongly suspect that it's Jimmy doing Jimmy Sexton things but once again LSU is at the plate swinging like Ol Casey for the fences.
If I hear definitively one way or another I'll post, but I doubt I get a scoop on this before the real players break the story. This will move with lightning speed once all the pieces are in place OR we get left at the altar.
Buckle your chin straps.

Heupel, Freeman, Dillingham, some Sexton client etc are going to hear about Lane’s sexy offer and be intrigued in case he turns us down imo
Y’all dont be stupid. Jimmy is happy to get LSU back from Trace. We will have a backup plan

It’s just a Louisiana thing. A very “frick it” attitude at all times

Hahaha

Well why would we expect anything less?

Yup. My thoughts exactly. I wasn't even a little surprised. We're going to get Bryce Underwooded again, I bet.

I just like that they’re trying for Kiffin. Try to get the best.

Isn't this what got us Ed Orgeron when Tom Herman balked at the last minute?
Surely LSU would not be so stupid as to not have a fall back again. Surely.....

LSU needs to consider hiring a very shrewd negotiator to represent them as Sexton is the equivalent of a Hall of Fame player vs a jr high benchwarmer.

Alleva’s feelings being hurt when Herman played him was what got Ed O in the big chair.

Dillingham should be the backup plan.
Posted on 11/17/25 at 10:41 pm to SuperFanDan
I am actually encouraged. Who are they missing out on waiting for Kiffin?
I would be fine going with someone like the North Texas coach if necessary. Don't care if Tulane or Mizz coach goes elsewhere.

So you might be getting him or you might not.
Great hedge.

Typical. The lazy Louisiana way.
Better pull for Oklahoma in a couple of weeks…

This does not inspire confidence. Even Joe sorta had a backup plan.

I have a feeling we will. Either we will get Kiffin or we will end up with someone like Jon Sumrall or Eli Drinkwitz.
It will be one extreme or the other.
If it's true that LSU has no back up plan, then Verge needs to get his pink slip post haste.
