re: Criticize CBK, but he had better SEC conference record than Kiffin past three years!

Kelly had to go. It’s silly to compare their records at this point, he was done and was always planning to get paid to go away if it didn’t work out.

---

I'm in full support that Kelly needed to be fired, but I don't support LSU going after a coach that hasn't won a damn thing his entire career and that includes two stops at two prominent schools in UT and USC!

Please, tell me just one championship or one championship game that Kiffin as a HC has been a part of!

Seven seasons in SEC - no championships, never even made it to an SEC championship game, 11-24 against ranked teams at Ole Miss!

At Tennessee, Kiffin did not beat one ranked team all season!

4 seasons at USC - fired midseason, 3-4 against ranked teams, no championships, never even made it to a championship game

Now do BKs record against ranked teams

---

As of last year (not cherry picking just don't have newest data) BK was 4th in the SEC in ranked wins percentage at .486. LK was 10th at .314.

If this is the metric we're going with we want Fran Brown from Syracuse (.750). Better than Ryan Day. Better than Kirby Smart. shite, if this is the metric we're going with a Mike Gundy or Les Miles retread would be better than Kiffin.

Ranked winning percentage is strongly tied to the university. You can't point to a lot of P5 schools and say that coach is really outperforming his schools history. When you do find one they'll be snatched up to a more appropriate school with any kind of sustainment. Brent Key is probably the only one you can point to now.

The hatred for CBK is irrational, perhaps got to do with it not being a cultural fit.....Wins and losses have nothing to do with it....

The same was true for Les Miles. From the way he wore his hat, to the way he spoke to everything about him. And Les won a lot of ball games here. The players loved him, played hard for him. He recruited them and put them in them in the NFL like no other coach in history. With the vacated wins he won almost 75-80% of his games.

Les committed only one crime....he was not Nick Saban.....and LSU fans could never get over that.

For BK, he inherited a program in almost "death penalty" situation. Not only were we down to 42 players and just 1 true freshman QB, we were also on NCAA probation with NCAA ready to pass judgement.

We recovered under BK and won 2 back to back 10 win season. This year we have played with a hurt QB and a underclassmen backup still unpolished...

The BK firing was impulsive triggered by persons who did not have the best interest of the program at heart.

History will not be kind judge to us on this matter.


If we had known how bad Curly Hallman would have been, we would have kept Mike Archer. 2019 season not withstanding Les was a way better coach the EdEaux. The next coach will be hired for 13-15 million a year and at the end of the day the buyout will destroy us.

how do you rationalize firing a coach and paying his $54M buyout

---

Easy. He wasn't doing his damn job. He was mailing it in, and his bewilderment on the sidelines at every game showed that.

quote:

---

Bk is a fraud.

---

Agreed.

if it's already been mentioned here sry, but Kiffin is not coming to LSU. Sending his ex wife out here for a visit is a bargaining ploy for Ole Miss to pay up. If y'all can't see that, ya blind.

10 win seasons are meaningless. They are not materially different than 6 win seasons if there is no championship involved.

---

I hope you were a fan in the Curly Hallman era. You would have loved those 5-6 seasons.

quote:

---

Lane Kiffin has a record of 11-24 against ranked opponents as the Ole Miss head coach.

---

Not even close. Where do you come up with this shite? He is 8-11 against ranked teams as Ole Miss coach.

quote:

---

OK, I'm still waiting.....

---

You dont seem to like common sense, so you might not grasp this but, Ole Miss is not a good football school. It is very hard to win at Ole Miss. They were bad before Kiffin, and I will bet you the coach after Kiffin will not have winning conference record before being fired.

.
You also cant seem to differentiate facts from made up bullshite, but but these are indeed actual facts. Since integration, Ole miss has had seasons in which they won 9 regular season games six times. Four of those seasons were with Kiffin. They have won 10 regular season games three times in their ENTIRE history. All three were under Kiffin, all in the last four years. Ole Miss has won 11 games in a whole season only once. That was under Lane Kiffin. If they beat State next weekend, it will be the second time.

I am not a Kiffin fan boy but he is by far the best coach on the market we can reasonably land.

I appreciate this information.

Numbers don't lie!

What do the numbers say when you include the year that got BK fired? What rationale did you use to leave out this year? This poor decision on your part makes this whole thread stupid!
