I’ve accepted the fact that he’s LSU’s coach.

I grew an affinity for him with the E60 piece.

I’m hoping all this drama and BS isn’t just a this year thing bc this crap is getting old quick.

He’s become a champion off the field. Let’s make him one on the field!!

I get that people don't like him in general. He kind of comes off some times as a weasel. But his job hopping isn't much different than a lot of other coaches. Yeah he left Ole Miss on a playoff run but it was Ole Miss that wouldn't let him coach. Jon Sumrall and Bob Chesney did the same thing except their schools let them coach. What I cannot understand is the insane level of hate for him. You would think he was starving children or clubbing baby seals with a hammer. Honestly overall I never was a huge fan of his, while I also had the opinion he is one the greatest in game play callers and QB developers I have ever seen. It really wouldn't matter if he wasn't our coach now. Even if he was somewhere else I would be rooting for him to stick it to all of college football because of the completely irrational hatred for him.

Agree. Gotta say, whoever recruited, built, & coached OM’s OL did a masterful job. Impressive to watch last night.

I admit. I did not think he was leaving so I initially didn’t get emotionally invested. However, and so far, he’s proven to take a bunch of crap off the field. Still gotta prove himself on the field. LFG Tigahs

Kiffin did what EVERY OTHER coach would have done....took a step up in his career, more money, more potential, etc.....

The NCAA calendar is the problem.

I’ve always thought he was hilarious, and loved him being in the league but did not want him here at LSU.

But, he’s here now…. So I’m riding, and hoping for the best!

Yeah, I didn’t like that either. He’s a competitor at the highest level, and he’s going to find loopholes and utilize or expose them. If that’s why you hate him as a coach, then I can understand. I take the approach that it’s on the NCAA to establish rules that don’t allow for that.

I completely respect his ability to find loopholes and exploit them, it just always got to me because it was abusing the system in place to protect players, really wouldn’t have cared either but I typically only go to 1 game a year and it happened to be OM a couple years so I saw it first hand many times.

All of that said though, very happy to have him as coach I hope he continues to exploit these loopholes in the system. I love his work ethic and the way his brain works. I’ve never been this excited for a coach before his first season in any sport

I couldn't stand him. But when we hit the BK era, I started to notice how oddly hated LSU seems to be among the bluebloods. So now, if you want to play the villain, LK is the greatest troll of all time.

I'm down with the Dark Side energy. We can be like the siths in Star Wars. frick everybody else. Let's ride.

This defines his career. He’s been fired a ton, and just keeps going and moving on.

A lot of guys when they get fired - you never see them again. Not Kiffin.
