re: Bryce Brown Breakdown of LSU Visit

He reminds me of a clueless inexperienced idiot that just got elected

If Les Miles or Larry Coker can do it, so can Lane Kiffin.

Larry Coker destroyed Miami's program.

They had a MACHINE when he took over for Butch Davis and now they wont have even ONE guy drafted this year.

BTW, isn't the "I want everyone in here to have their shirts off when we come back in here" bit going to get old for the 5th year senior who has had to come running into the locker room all excited every recruiting weekend for the last 5 years?

Gaytors 70 UT 0 this year. Take cover !

Apex hit it on the head. Let's talk about your "staff". Kiffin BOMBED in his only stint as a head coach and bombed miserably. Ogeron BOMBED miserably in his only head coaching stint. Both Kiffin AND Ogeron have had egg on their face in the media on their "peculiar" antics. Nice staff. Glad you have them and not us. I was so glad Ogeron went to you instead of us. Baffoon comes to mind. Hope he can keep his shirt on down there and keep his Yaw, YAW, YAW's to a minimum. Can't wait to see your K try a 72 yard KG this year too!

Good points about our inexperience headcoach. Just b/c a coach fails as a headcoach doesn't mean he is a bad assistant, ala David Cutcliff.

What makes your arguement ignorant is the fact that Orgeron coached at the highest level in SEC and now he is our D Line coach/recruiting coordinator. Did you hear that, a SEC headcoach is not a coordinator, he is a position coach. Not to mention, the fact LSU was willing to pay him $900,000 to coach your defense. I think O at $600,000 is a pretty good deal.

Mitch Browning was the Offensive Coordinator at Syracuse. Now he is a Graduate Assistant at UT. Did you hear that, not a O coordinator, not a QB or RB coach; a f'n GA. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

Monte Kiffin was a Super Bowl winning Defensive Coordinator in the NFL for 30 years and now is the same at UT. Did you hear that, SUPER BOWL CHAMPION. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

Eddie Gran has put 10 RB in the NFL with 6 currently on rosters. He has 14 years SEC experience and may the best at the collegiate level. How/Why Auburn let him go is beyond me, but another good deal if you ask me.

Compare Lane Kiffin to former Oakland coaches, thats the only fair comparison. That is unless you want to totally ignore his experience under Norm Chow and his OC success at USC. I think those were pretty good teams. Who is the OC now at USC, Jason Bates. I guess he sucks too.

Comparing Miles to Coker was unfair and that is not how I meant it. Les Miles/LSU is the only other SEC team that I like. I love his coaching style and your coaching staff. I think he's top 4 in the SEC but not top 10 nationally. Like Coker, he needs a great staff and a powerhouse school to be able to recruit. Like them two, I think Kiffin (with help), can do what they have done.

Miles is only 25% of LSU success. The staff is the other 25%, recruiting in LA is the other 25%, and LSU as a whole is the other 25%.

Lane Kiffin may only be 15%, but his staff is probably 35%. Great recruiters would be the other 25%, and UTs tradition and history is the other 25%.

JMO, but I think the last 2 arguements are fair.

Cutcliff is a good Head Coach and Ole Miss made a huge mistake in getting rid of him IMO.

As far as Kiffen, I think he has done an incredible job so far, as long as he doesn't get popped for anything with the NCAA. He has already had a couple of small snafus though, so I'm not convinced that he isn't doing more then that. The only real mistake I think he made is telling the recruits that were switching to UT to keep it quite until signing day to frick the team they are currently verbled to. i.e. janzen jackson and the florida kid. I have to think that will come back to bite him.
