Bigger Question: Is it Lane choking or is he being outcoached?

Lane has a tendency to do the opposite of what needs to be done. You saw it 4 times last night.

Lane is a lot of show
Little Landry bought it

He isn’t worth it

We will move on

This team just isn’t clutch. When they have to make a play in a tight game more often than not they can’t.

The margins between wins and losses can be really tight. This team has been on the wrong end of that too many times.

Both.

What's the difference in choking or being outcoached? Equals the same result.

Looking back I bet we'd all pin them on the 57 yard fg try, and take the points in the red zone.

He rolled the dice and crapped out. When he and the team have more experience, those gambles should pay off.

Team wasn’t ready for max risk. Having Kiffin as a coach has been a wild ride. I appreciate it.

Anyone really want to go back to the Miles’ years?

Yes Les wins that game

We don't have the next level talent yet.

He’s not a good coach head coach and never has been. Just a master marketer.

I would disagree that it's this simple but I don't think it's all untrue either.

I mean he has a 20 year track record as a head coach and most of it really has not been great. Outside a couple of co-conference regular season titles at UCF sandwiched around a 5-7 season in whatever weak conference that was, he never won anything of significance.

It intrigued me how he kept getting all the shine he did given the record. I mean he was a great offensive mind and an excellent troll on twitter, but I just never saw head coaching greatness.

Last year was far and away his best as a head coach - he cashed in on it too - to your point about marketing himself. His 2024 team was more talented than his team last year but he lost to 3 teams he had no business losing to, one of them us!! Was last year the turning point for him as a head coach? That's what we banked on, literally.

The hope is that he has matured and is ready to move on from being a great offensive mind who happened to be a head coach to a great head coach. We'll see, I hope he makes that transition.

I’m willing to give him time and i believe he is a good coach. When he was at Ole Miss, he knew they weren’t competitive with UGA on the lines of scrimmage and began to make that a priority. His last 2 teams there were both playoff quality with one making the national semifinal. LSU is currently also deficient on the O-line and I think he’ll ultimately get that fixed. We currently have our version of Jaxson dart with Leavitt and just need to find a QB with better situational awareness and field vision.
