Talk about torching bridges.

Curt Cignetti did the same thing by taking all his James Madison players to Indiana. Everyone praised him for the job he did rather than criticizing him.

I’m starting to really think that the national media just hates LSU. No exaggeration

They would be praising Lane without end if he had gone to Alabama.

People like Rece Davis, Mark Ingram, Greg McElroy, etc. would be jizzing their pants at the thought of a Lane Kiffin era at Bama.

I disagree. They would be practically worshipping him if he had left Ole Miss for Alabama.

They’re not. Why? Because ISU and PSU are irrelevant and don’t threatened to become a juggernaut again like LSU does.

Difference is his old team isn’t in the CFP. People didn’t like the way Lane left and since Ole Miss is still in the news, people are continuing to talk about Lane/LSU.

No. I actually saw a tweet saying something like "Isn't it funny that the only coach that can't pillage his former team is Lane Kiffin. Good on you OM."

You mean the only coach NOT crippling his former school?

Oregon has also been talking to Demond. No reports on it other than a couple of people. Nobody cares.

The media always portrays LSU as the villain. They’ve done it with Wade, Mulkey, Kelly, and Lane. Even pointed and laughed at Les and O. Nothing new.

This. All the talking head narratives bleed down to the masses and now mostly every fanbase in the sport is coming together to shite on us lol. It's only January so this will go on for quite some time

Quite of few of head coaches leaving smaller schools going to the bigger schools have taken a lot of their former teams players. I promise you if Michigan coach left for Ohio St. Or vice versa their would literally riots in those respective towns. As someone posted Cig. did it but he came from a smaller school.

Little bit exaggerated at 30+ when there is only 24 portal transfers and 20 are from ISU. But get you drift.

Cignetti also took 13 players from JMU, which was the cornerstone to that first season at Indiana and some who played the next year.

From what I remember, Kiffin tried to get

2 WR
1 LB
1 RB
1 QB
1 K

That's 6 players. That would kill their returning offense, but they have enough money to pay for a portal QB, WR, and RB.
