If he didn’t get a head coaching job

“For my #LSU followers, Lane Kiffin reveals what I've always heard but never truly believed:

While at #Bama in 2016, with LSU debating whether to hire Ed Orgeron, Lane spoke to AD Joe Alleva promising he'd come to BR to be OC if (1) Joe hired O and (2) he didn't get a head job.”

A lot of things are talked about that we think we know . Not sure if I have seen Kiffin confirm it before....but maybe he did

I don’t think the issue is whether or not we needed him. However, it does confirm that it wasn’t just some empty campaign promise to get the job.

Man that would have been fricking awesome, but we most likely wouldnt have gotten Joe Brady or Burrow.

I agree, but is this the first time Kiffen came out and said it?

I guess some didn't follow this closely but I feel like this has been common knowledge for a couple years.

And ultimately it worked out for the best for O and Kiffin.

This is very believable but the second part was a big if.

Alls well that ends well, but we should have had a better B plan than hiring Canada or E.

Is this where we say that everything that was talked about “in the binder” was known to be a fact?

It was an empty campaign promise.
Kiffen was always going to get and take a HC position. He ended up taking a second tier one at that.

There are entire threads where people have vehemently disputed this.
