re: Why would kiffin go from bama to lsu?

Kiffin could make a lateral move, maintain status quo producation (based on Kiffin #s) and his stock increases simply by virtue of doing it outside the Saban administration.

That doesn't mean there's a ton of upside for Kiffin in immediate or short term. But just beyond that, e.g. 1-3 seasons, there's some huge upside. Specifically, Kiffin's perception when disassociated with Saban.
