I now get why Ole Miss and Tennessee were so mad when Lane left

We’ve had one offseason and one game and it’s quite a ride. I get it now.
Was Florida Atlantic mad, or do they have fans? I guess they got it.
Alabama fans are too arrogant to appreciate this.
This is crazy, but I honestly can’t imagine us losing a game. This is how I felt when Joe Burrow was our QB.
I’m sure we’ll crash down to earth at some point, but LSU football is fun again, and that’s what it’s all about.

It’s like having a crazy girlfriend. The sex is incredible, but she will absolutely make you want to kill yourself when you inevitably have to break up.

He gave Ole Piss 6 years…. I really do think he will be here at least 10 which is more than we can ask for

Tennessee and OM thought they were big enough to keep him for the long term. FAU understood where they stood in the relationship and were grateful for the attention of their little fling.

I agree! When you have a coach like him, things are always either really good or really bad. There is no in between!

Look, if he’s here 4-5 years and we get this, we have to see it as a win. No one stays anywhere long term any more. College players are only on a team for a year or two before they transfer.
The best thing that can happen is the LSU brand expand, we bring in more fans, more donors, and we build this thing out. Lane will leave us like he’s left everyone. Or, he will flame out in some kind of glorious fashion. But, it will be quite a ride, which is better than the 7-6 and 22 ppg and empty Tiger Stadium last year under Brian “you guys are spoiled” Kelly.

I used to would've disagreed with you thinking that he might would leave us for NFL years ago. But in the current college football landscape, he's the perfect coach for this era. I think if Lane has success he will be with us for a long time.

Is it to much to ask for just some FOOTBALL?

And, knowing that LSU has had his back from the Governor to Senators and Congressman to the fanbase to the Administration all the way up and down has got to be surreal for him.
If he wins, I don’t know where else he’d go, unless he wants to go to the NFL again. But, then fine. Thanks for the memories.

Ole Miss and Tennessee were mad when he left because he's a good coach.
Were we upset when Miles was fired and went to Kansas?
Were we upset when Kelly was fired and the joke was that he'd go coach Penn State or someone else?
No!
We were very upset when Nick Saban left, though, and even more upset when he returned to the college game at a conference opponent.
Ole Miss and Tennessee are butthurt because they couldn't retain a quality coach.

I mean I can see us losing but the fun is definitely back which is awesome. Brian Kelly never brought that juice. And outside of 2019 the juice has been largely missing since 2012.

They're mad because of what might have been for them. They know Lane is a great coach and after working for both Pete and Nick, he has now matured. Just look at how he matured at OM. The first year there he went to Bama and said get your popcorn ready and proceeded to get his arse beat. Then basically kept his mouth shut everytime he played his daddy and got some wins.

Exactly. I would say 95% or more LSU fans are aware of what LK is all about. We are NOT naive. Hopefully he's stays longer than 4/5 years but he is going to win a lot here & we will enjoy the ride. This is fun to see the fear.

No. They know very well that they missed the boat and they are very worried what it will cost them going forward.
Their administration has some explaining to do

If we can keep him for at least 3 years Ill be happy and any time after that would be considered a bonus IMO. I think fans will be fine as long as he doesnt leave us for someone else in the conference like Alabama or Texas. Either way I'm just going to enjoy the ride.

Ole Miss I get.
Tennessee was a ridiculous overreaction.
He was a Tennessee for ONE season. In that season he went 7-5 in the regular season. Of the 7 wins, 3 were against Ohio, Memphis and Western Kentucky. Two were against Vanderbilt and Kentucky. His best "wins" were actually losses. UT played (then) No. 1 Florida and (then) No. 1 Alabama fairly close on the road (almost beating AL). He then left for what was then a much better program (USC) at the time. A place where he had coached for 6 years as opposed to his 1 at UT.

I just don’t understand why our own fans continue to push this absurd media created myth about a guy that clearly envisions himself building something very special here.
Lane left ONE job of his own volition back in 2009. Seventeen fricking years ago he left UT, a school he had no ties to because the school where he began his career and had unprecedented levels of success called him to come home.
That came on the heels of crazy arse Al Davis giving him a public flogging as a publicity stunt to win a dismissal for cause suit and so everyone just kind of assumed oh well I guess the old loon was right he really is a “con man”. No one stopped to consider that he was the one that was lied to by Davis to leave SC in the first place, so when he had the opportunity to go back he felt it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Then before he coached a game in L.A. the NCAA dropped the hammer on the Trojans and he was set up to fail from the get go. Frustrated, and still young, he didn’t handle that disappointment well, but when another hot head idiot AD fired him and left him on the tarmac it was yet another mark against him that the media LOVED because it was so absurd. As if some a-hole kicking him off the team bus was a reflection on him and not another lunatic that would continue to destroy his own organization the way Al Davis was doing with the Raiders.
Once he finally got brought in with a professional, albeit an equally ruthless one, in Saban at Alabama in 2013, the dude has been nothing short of a superstar.
40-3, Three straight SEC Championships, rewriting the Alabama record books, one NC and one game away from a repeat with offers to leave every year. But he stayed knowing that he wasn’t ready to be in the HC spotlight again.
Once he finally is ready he takes a low profile job, stays for three years despite offers to leave every year, and wins two conference titles.
Then makes the logical jump to a bigger school, albeit not one of the power players in the SEC, still content to work his way back to the top.
He stays in Oxford fricking Mississippi for SIX YEARS, despite countless offers to leave, and finally leaves when one of the objectively best jobs in the country comes calling.
He did all he could to finish the season and pursue the NC he worked so hard to help his team win, but a bitter, petty, insignificant a-hole AD once again preferred to make a scene, and the clueless desperate for clicks media went along with it once again.
Don’t feed into the character assassination that this dude has had to deal with for 20 fricking years because it sells headlines for the worthless and unscrupulous media which makes the ridiculous assault on him and our program that we just sat through for the past two weeks not only possible but inevitable.
Kiffin clearly sees this as the place to write his legacy, the same way Saban did despite the media attacking him when he left Miami as a mercenary that would leave for the first team that threw more money at him.
Settle in for the Golden Age of Lane, it’s going to be epic
