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

Tennessee was a ridiculous overreaction.
He was a Tennessee for ONE season. In that season he went 7-5 in the regular season.
I think for them, it was more about the way he left.
Ole Miss? They’re just angry because he gave them a taste of relevance, and now they know that things are about to return to the natural order of things for them.

Correct. I plan on enjoying this for as long as we have the guy. 4 years. 7 years. Whatever.

Exactly what I have been telling others that try to bring up his past.
I don’t see why anyone should use him leaving Tennessee for USC against him. And him staying at Ole Miss that long is pretty impressive. They should be thankful, but of course they hate him. They were fortunate to have him that long.
I have one friend who went to FAU and he never says anything bad about Kiffin.
I never hated Kiffin at other schools.

So many Kiffin haters try to say he will just leave you in so many years. So what???? Coaches rarely stay more than 5 years lately anyways.
If he leaves it likely means he was successful enough to be in demand. If that’s the case then that means he did really well at LSU. I would take that over more fired coaches. Unlike some of these others bitter fans I can appreciate the good times here. Ole Miss fans should be thankful for Kiffin.
I also don’t see why he would leave LSU if he’s that successful to go to any other college. Maybe he wants to try the NFL, but I hope not. He seems perfect for college.

Good comparison.
I will be happy for every game he coaches and years he stays on. I will be sad when it ends. If he goes elsewhere so be it.
Those upset at the other schools have a problem.

He gave Ole Piss 6 years…. I really do think he will be here at least 10
Maybe more than 10.........or until yall fire him, but that's coaching in a nutshell.

Lane at Tennessee wasn't the current Lane. Neither was he at USC. He got a lot of big jobs too early in his career and wasn't ready yet.

If he gives us (Jayden) - and it looks like this, I’d be grateful. Les is the only one who’s lasted longer, and it was growing long in the tooth way before he got let go…

The melt by the TN fanbase was epic, though. I 'watched' the whole thing on tigerdroppings that night. Hard to believe it was almost 17 years ago.

Yeah I should have included that in my first post.
Davis’s unhinged press conference, UT students burning the campus down, and Haden kicking him off the bus on the tarmac.
Those three crazy scenes in a row cemented the Kiffin caricature to the media. Even though all three of those were reactions by OTHER PEOPLE. No matter what his part in what led to those departures, those crazy reactions were reflections of THOSE people, not of Kiffin.
But it was just easier and more entertaining for the media to paint HIM as the chaotic one, when the atmosphere of those places had been chaotic and continued to be long after he was gone.
Five years of a 25+ year career and they just can’t find any other way to let him be defined.
But that only adds to his motivation to stay somewhere and prove them all wrong, and we are so fortunate that place is Death Valley.

Check back in a couple of years and we will see.

In both instances he left for bigger, better programs.
USC greater than Tennessee
LSU greater than Ole Miss
No one can fault someone else for bettering themselves.
