Is LSU now the "villain?"

Not that I really care all that much, but with LSU now having hired Brian Kelly away from Notre Dame when the Irish were in the mix for a CFP berth (that they didn't get) and Lane Kiffin when Ole Piss is 99% going to be in the playoff AND host...is LSU a villain now? There's a lot of talk out there about what's wrong with college football, and while a lot of it right now centers on Kiffin...there's another side in that connection as well - LSU. I don't think it will take too long for LSU to be blamed as much or even more for contributing to the hell-in-a-handbasket direction of college athletics.
I personally wouldn't mind embracing the villain role, because it ALSO means competing for SEC and National Championships year in and year out to truly become a "villain." But it is a bit of a different mindset for LSU fan, I think - especially those of us who lived through the dark days in the 80's and 90's.

I hope so. Time to take our place at the top, win multiple championships and have other teams fans tired of us wining all the time.

Lane is more of a the villain than LSU. All LSU did was bring in the best coach they needed.

Perfectly fine with being the villain to everyone else.
LSU shouldn’t care at all what the other teams and other fans think of us. In fact, we will win even more fans being the villain that wins championships.

Live up here in Tuscaloosa.
The jealousy is palpable from all the criticism that Lane has gotten here on talk radio.
They’re even criticizing the amount of money is in his contract.
A lot of Ala. friends that I know wanted Kiffin over Debore.
They also think that when it’s a time to fire their coach, they will come and get Kiffin from us.

I'm sure there were more than a few convos between Bama and Kiffin/ Kiffin's agent before DeBoer got it. We may never know all the pieces that led to him not pursuing it (or at least not taking it) but I have to think him not wanting to follow directly after Saban was a big part of it.
What I can't see is Bama taking him from LSU. If they were to want him, it would mean he has been successful at LSU, which in turn means t Kiffin's success at LSU likely directly impacts DeBoer's downfall. Bama has far too much pride to hire LSU's coach away directly because it doesn't fit their narrative and view of themselves. If history is any indication, they'll hire Brian Kelly when DeBoer plays out.

LSU didn't create this mess. The NCAA created it.

You all do realize that Alabama will be calling Lane the next time they need a new HC.

"They will come and get Saban from us"
Kind of what they did with Saban at Miami. No limits and HEAVY pressure for eternity. Thats what I hate about Bama.
