Can Kiffin do what BK couldn't and win games like these?

It’s one game in year one. It’s not defining anything. So dramatic.

I’m talking about winning the defining game in a season

He did though.

The question should be can he consistently win these.
Which no one would know until we play them.

Seems like a dead end question to begin with. Like you want a guess?

And this changes the fact that what you said in your title is completely false somehow?

A loss doesn't mean Kiffin is a bad coach, should be fired, or that LSU will never win games like this in the future.

But the donors/school didn't make the massive investment into the program to lose games like this. This is a home game against a good, but by no means dominant Alabama team. Kiffin was hired with the expectation to win these types of games.

And the "year one" excuse holds no relevance in this day and age. A program can be rebuilt in one offseason with the addition of several experienced players. Some potential all-conference or all-American level players. LSU did just that. This isn't 2010 where a new coach inherited a bad team and could only rebuild the roster by stacking and developing HS signing classes over multiple years.

Forget the past. Even taking off the homer glasses this is a "should win" game for LSU

Those don't count. Once we beat a team it means they suck. That way the narrative can be kept alive that Kiffin lost every good team he has faced.

But that still won't stop you.

You don't live in reality.

Right. It just goes to show you that winning this game doesn’t automatically mean you’re in the clear. Making your thread irrelevant.

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then.

Brian Kelly struggled in the big matchups, finishing with a 5-10 record against AP Top 25 opponents. BK's inability to win big games and a tendency to suffer second-half collapses is what most will remember, But he improved his golf game.

2024 vs. Alabama (Loss, 42-13)

2024 vs. Texas A&M (Loss, 38-23)

2024 vs. Florida (Loss, 27-16)

2024 vs. USC (Loss, 27-20)

2023 vs. Florida State (Loss, 45-24)

2022 vs. Florida State (Loss, 24-23)

2023 vs. Ole Miss (Loss, 55-49)

I'd say BK shite the bed more than most while in BR. But the OP is being a bit of a drama queen.

You beat two teams that don't have QBs. One that had no business being ranked.

You are correct. Y'all do really suck. It doesn't change the fact of the situation though.
