The 2nd play INT did have me cautious for a split second, but damn the poise that our entire team played with after that disastrous first drive was something we haven't seen in a while. We need to appreciate and enjoy Blake Baker for every single second that we have him, because he's going to get his HC shot very soon.
I seriously doubt that. If he ended up at Bama, he would be right back in the shadow of Saban, which I really don't see him enjoying. He seems to want to blaze his own trail with his own name doing it his way. He's taken his bumps and lessons he's learned from Tenn, USC, FAU, and Ole piss, combine that with what he learned growing up with his dad and then under Saban, and it really has the feeling that this is just the right fit at the exact right moment.
Honest question to anyone who can make a case for one, but is there a better job in CFB for Lane than LSU? Between the facilities, brand, exposure, conference, high school talent pool, lack of in-state recruiting competition, and current NIL and transfer portal financial backing/commitment, it's honestly hard to think of another program that beats LSU in all, or even most, of those areas that Lane would potentially make a jump for in the next 5-8 years.

I think the only place Kiffin would consider leaving LSU for, would be USC. He has history there. I just don't think USC will hire him back. I think he will do great things here.

You are completely wrong about Wayne Huizenga. Big reason Saban took the job. He had full control. Huizenga brought us the Marlins and the Panthers to South Florida. Highly regarded. RIP Wayne.

this is the best I've seen LSU look, both offensively and defensively, since 2019.

Assuming Lane is successful here, I can't see how Alabama would be a better job. After Saban, Bama fans will always have higher expectations for their coaches than at almost any other school. We do have high expectations here but we aren't at the point that we assume we will get a NC every other year. I also believe that LSU fans will put up with Lane's antics more than Bama fans will, and most certainly more than northern or west coast schools will. The perception that LSU is second tier to Bama is simply recency bias.

Regarding Tiger Stadium's atmosphere/noise last night, despite ABC's audio engineer's attempts to "squelch the noise" & "boost/clarify Herbstreit's & Fowlers voices".........
I could not hear, understand 85% of what they said on TV during the game broadcast; nor the 2 chick analysts they had covering/interviewing each sidelines or coach interviews.

If you’re not shocked about a 51-10 beat down like that, you’re either (a) lying or (b) an idiot

Best I have seen in opening game since Virginia Tech.
Defense is elite
Offense is elite

The reason Lane didn’t take the Fla.. job was their AD wanted to control his GM pick that turned LK off.Do you think he would go work for Jerry ,I’m a horrible GM,Jones.Hes got full control of his program ,the pros don’t offer that.

Anybody outside of the coaching staff that knew the operation was going to be THAT crisp and clean and so put together....with that many new players is lying their arse off...maybe win by a score or two...
Still amazed here. It's going to be a fun ride

Bama is not a better job than LSU.
Bama had arguably the two greatest coaches in history with Bryant and Saban. Outside of those two, Bama has been good but not great.
If Saban never goes to Bama they win zero titles since the last one in the 1990s.
It’s not Bama, it’s Bryant and Saban.

Kiffin isn’t going to Bama. He very well may go back to the NFL at some point, but he’s not going to Bama. If Nick Saban called him and told him to go to LSU and follows that up with “I should have never left and it’s the biggest regret of my career,” then Kiffin isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Kiffin will go NFL one day again I think. Whatever, enjoy it now.

Before the game I told my dad lane will put up 60 and it won’t be close.
During the game my dad kept shaking his head “ you said it won’t be close”. Felt good tigers came out and didn’t let up.

USC can’t get half a stadium to show up. I think he’s good where he is.

I think Bama made an offer Saban couldn't refuse, plus, the constant two week pressure Bama put on him, it was too much to turn down.

Hi might bolt, but my guess is it would be for the Tampa Bay Bucs before any other college job. He knows the owners very well from growing up there while his dad was coach. But it would mean he has done a great job here.
