If Kiffin is here for say 5yrs, what's your true expectations?

He's well paid, he's got the NIL money, he's got a great year one class coming in... so what would be a true representation of his success in a 5yr time frame? I'd say the floor would be 3 CFP appearances, 1 SEC Championship and 1 National Championship.

I would expect him to win a championship. If he can’t do it here with the amount of money LSU is spending and in state talent, he won’t ever win one.

Edit: It very well may take longer than 5 years but I don’t think he wins one if he leaves LSU after 5 years without one. If he’s in the playoffs several times and stays at LSU he could get one after the 5 year mark but I think he gets it done in 5. Kirby Smart and Ryan day both won it in their 6th year if I’m not mistaken.

Win baby win and enjoy the journey!

Just think, this is the best off season we have had as Tiger fans….
Start to enjoy the journey, most times it’s better than the destination!

Oh here with go with the condescending, annoying “low expectations” crowd. The floor can’t include one SEC championship in a 5 year span considering he’s one of the highest paid coaches in the country with one of the most expensive rosters in the country? Gtfo, you’re clueless and you’re just being a contrarian for the sake of it

Playoffs 3 years and at least 1 championship appearance, preferably winning it.

5 natties plus must win all games 100-0!

That's a high floor and I'm here for it. We are giving him somewhat of a blank check to win so he better have serious results.

It should be the expectation. 13 mil salary, loads of negative press hiring him(perception does matter at times), what boils down to a 40 mil roster in year 1. If not for yearly playoff expectations, competing for and winning a title, why waste all that money? The people spending it have those expectations you can be sure. Ask Brian Kelly.

He’ll be here longer. If it’s only 5 years, then it went terribly wrong

It would be a success if he beat Alabama every time we played them!!

But the fricking floor can't include 2 things he's never done before and another he's done once (you're calling for 3 in 5 years).

I disagree. LSU is paying a HUGE amount...because the expectations are high. Otherwise, why invest so heavily if you are going to have low expectations?

The CFP is 12 teams now, and will likely move to 16 in the next few years. 5 SEC teams reached the CFP this past season. I don't think it's all that unreasonable to expect LSU should annually be one of the 3-5 best teams in the SEC with the investment it is making

Obviously, the means of constructing a roster are very different now, but this is the closest set up to 2019 since 2019 from a coaching perspective. That is a solid, returning DC, combined with a very proven offensive staff. In fact, this is arguably a better set up giving Brady was a total unknown ahead of 2019. That's not to say next year's team...or any team...will be as good as the 2019 team, but there is justification for high expectations immediately.

The days of building a program by stacking good HS recruiting classes and developing guys over the course of 3-4 years are over and fans need to adjust their way of thinking. The "timeline" for a rebuild is extremely expedited. Hell, there's no better example of this than Indiana. Texas Tech also went from a 7-8 team to 12-1 immediately because of a huge investment in the transfer portal.

It won't be easy by any means given LSU's schedule next season. But if LSU isn't competing for a CFP spot in late November it will be a disappointment.
