Ok, so it’s time to forgive him for that 5-star DB out of Lake Charles that was secretly committed to Kiffin’s Tennessee while publicly committed to LSU, leaving LSU scrambling for a DB replacement at 11th hour?

That DB was a future felony. And Kiffin is now at LSU. I guess it’s time.

The on history i care about Lane is his history he will make here at LSU, and I, for one, and believe, many others do, infact, believe he will lead us back to GREATNESS and leave no doubt we werent just his right choice but his ONLY choice to cement his name in national college football HISTORY as one of the GREATS!

Key detail: While at Bama, Kiffin started studying the Art Briles/Baylor system and fusing in those fast-paced, WR-spread concepts with his own pro-style passing concepts that he had learned over the years that always hadgiven defenses by his Dad, Pete Carroll & Nick Saban the attacking plays those gurus found most difficult to defend.

That's when he really started becoming known as an almost-unstoppable offensive genius.

You could argue it but that doesn't make it right either.

I love LSU football in most every way and want it to be successful ever year. I’m excited that Coach Kiffin is LSU’s coach. The future is bright.

But, for some reason, I would get a kick out of a few pitch dives the 1st series against Clemson. All that O genius wrapped up in a Les Miles esque 10-15 play script…for a score, of course!

That would be genius’ genius.

At that point…something happened that changed everything

Nick Saban called

Saban saw an offensive genius


This was where Saban left Les Miles in the dust. Saban was a defensive mensa of his own right but he knew the world of college football was modernizing offenses and he had to do so as well. Miles stood there with his feet in concrete.

I could argue that the LSU job is the first job Kiffin got on his own merit


And I could much more sensibly argue that the only “nepo” job he got was with the Raiders. The NFL and D1 football isnt a small city accounting firm. No owner or AD is hiring a head coach at that level because he and daddy play squash together every Wednesday.

Failed with the Raiders

Failed at USC

Failed at Tennessee

Got fired by Saban in Alabama right before the national title game

Do you think that doors would be opened over and over again for someone with that much failure if he was not a nepo baby?

You’re not familiar with a similar path by Abe Lincoln?

The guy failed throughout his career. Now he’s a very well respected President because he helped make peanut butter possible.

Not hear for short stories. I scroll down and see you've got many more up than down votes. Good story, thanks! (Trust your brother)

If you ignore his early days when he was clearly too immature and inexperienced to be where he was


Correct, he was over his skis in Oakland for sure.

Truer words never spoken. Miles that stubborn son of a gun I remember for like five years straight told the fanbase offensive change was coming and shite never changed.

I remember when he avoided getting fired after the aTm game he said he committed to the LSU admins to modernize the offense. When next fall rolled around and somebody asked him about it he said something to the effect of "when you have a Ferrari you dont need to tinker with it..."

did not even make it to the start of the season and he welched.

Changed college football? Surely you mean changed Alabama offense. Evolved Saban’s offense.
