Do we lose to Ole Miss Saturday with Lane on our sidelines? No chance


No but we would lose to Kentucky with a 20 million dollar roster. Look I'd take Lane in a second if we could get him because of his age and I think very highly of him but lets not act like he's actually won anything. We just lost to a top 5 team on the road in a game we weren't favored in with an injured QB while losing our best WR and several other key players before and during the game. If Kelly deserves to be fired it's because of playing a hurt QB not the results of losing to a good team on the road.

Multiple SEC titles but all before integration.

If he was following anyone other than Orgeron I think thats the hire we would have made.

After O shenanigans the last thing the school wanted was another goofball.

Ole Miss is not a top 5 team. We just made them look like one because our offense is so inept. Their defense sucks. Kelly doesn't deserve to be fired at this point, but he does deserve every ounce of heat he's getting for his lazy assistant hires.

No, he shouldn’t have. He has done nothing. Kelly being terrible doesn’t make Kiffin good.

Maybe they aren't a top 5 team but losing to them is certainly better than losing to Kentucky last year at home and losing to a pathetic LSU team last year with the best roster in school history. My point was Lane isn't the savior the OP is making him out to be although I've admitted I would take him at LSU tomorrow if it could be done.

Riley saying no gave him that big leverage and Woody had to jump.



Both camps have maintained that there was never an offer from LSU.

AS I understand it, Kelly was the guy early, and Woodward kept that quiet until the agreed-upon time.

He hasn't wont shite and won't.

He had arguably the most talented roster last season, top portal team and he still lost 3 games. Hes no better than Kelly.

Dont give me the its diff at LSU bullshite, not in the portal era it isnt.

But atleast the offense would be entertaining, until its not and fans want to run him outta town too

that’s not likely. Most sources say Kelly was a pivot last minute. Something like that doesn’t just stay under wraps. Not even a peep. Look at the timing. Analyze it yourself. That doesn’t make sense.

Ole Miss, with half of LSU resources, has run past LSU in no time under Kiffin.



Kiffin's record at Ole Miss in the same period as BK

Kiffen 34-10, 18-9

Kelly 33-12, 18-8

Head to Head in the SEC 2-2

Seems fairly comparable

Has Ole Miss EVER won a SEC title?


In the Atlanta era (32 years), every single team has been to the SEC Championship game except 5:

Oklahoma - in year 2 of conference existence
Texas A&M - in year 13 of conference existence
Kentucky & Vanderbilt - 2 teams known for their perpetual suckitude
Ole Miss

Fact is he was on Campus on the Sunday. Kelly was announced the Monday. I think he was the Backup Plan? I know he was there because I saw the pic of him and Woodward walking into the Athletics Building.

Spent 20 million on a roster last year to lose to Kentucky


This. Kelly has shat the bed here but Lane went 8-4 with a loaded roster and lost at home to a 3-9 Kentucky team with an offense equally as bad as ours this year. Also, OM had an epic meltdown in 2022. They came into our game ranked #7, got smoked, and ended up losing 5 games down the stretch. Lane is a very good coach but people would be bitching about him here too.

And everyone wants him fired. Why do people think Kiffin is better?


Because:

(A) Kiffin just beat LSU

(B) Kiffin has not lost a single game as LSU’s head coach.

Kelly beat Kiffin last year, with Jaxson Dart

he’s 2-2 vs Kelly. He has squandered big money teams.

He is a genius until they lose and then he looos like an absolute clown

This board has gone almost completely off the rails


One more loss and I’m gonna have to ban myself from consuming this garbage





Kelly gets a lot of things wrong, but one thing he nailed was how spoiled and entitled the LSU internet fans are. Downvote away. Call me what yall want to, but it’s true. We have it so good over here compared to 95% of the other college athletic departments, but if you came to Tigerdroppings without knowing anything about college sports, you’d swear LSU was completely inept in everything except baseball (which is funny because a lot of people want Johnson fired/replaced 1/4 of the way through each season)
