If Kiffin wants to be here, fine. If not, we’re better off to move on now.

This will be a long week

(no message)

It should be settled this week. I don’t think LSU or Ole Miss will let it drag on.

The best thing for LSU is to be patient and wait. There is no reason to rush into a potential mistake.

Saban quit LSU Christmas Eve.
Miles was hired in January.
Bama hired Deboer AFTER the Natty.

Panicans should be ignored.

Eric Morris is just a state and a phone call away.

I agree that LSU can’t simply wait around for the timing to be right for Kiffin. The only leverage they actually have is the ability to pull the offer.

There is no playing nice with OM. We already made a run at their HC, if he signs we will be screwing them. Even this public display would likely be enough of a fracture to diminish their current season success. It may be a little late to make threats for this week, but I don’t understand why you let a huge offer just sit there with no guarantees and risk changing circumstances.

We did that in 2016 and fired him 5 years later. That didn't work either.

Very different era of college football. First, there was no freedom to transfer then without the penalty of sitting out a year. Thus, there was little worry of the roster being depleted even with a coaching change. Second, HS signing day was in February. A new HC could take the job in January, use that month to establish relationships with the recruits, and still sign a class in February. That's not the case anymore.

This is a more appropriate comparison. But if you remember, Alabama still lost a few signees from that class (most notably, Julian Sayin). They also lost some key transfers (led by Downs). They were able to salvage some of the guys who entered the portal. They were also able to get some in the spring as well. But that option is now gone.

There is a risk to waiting though. That risk is Kiffin decides he doesn't want to leave OM. Then LSU is in a spot where the next group of candidates are all picked over.

anyone but drink. that cannot happen.
