Most of it is hate for CLK. They also don't like the alignment between the state and the athletic department and the way the administration at LSU got replaced.

LA has had many governors who have been more involved in the football program. This is not uncharted waters in Louisiana politics.

Well, LSU is a state school, Landry is the senior executive of the state, so I'd say he should have some say...

But it is not inaccurate to say that he was forced out when Ole Miss decided that he could not coach the team for the Playoffs. He wanted to coach the team. He offered to coach the team. Ole Miss told him no.

I can’t tell if you’re digging into a troll or not. If not, how are you this lost?

As if they should have any say in it.

I think Kiffin was an easier, more despised, target for them. Landry is less well know outside of LA. They fear the governors of their own states are taking notes on how Landry managed to reshape LSU in just a few months.

For the better when you look at who’s gone. Woodward, Kelly, MacMahon, Tate.

I'm not the one who is lost.

Let me see if I can drop some breadcrumbs for you to help you find your way.

Let's start from my original post in this thread:
quote:

Outside of LSU, everybody hates Kiffin.

Lane left Tennessee after only one year, and only three weeks before signing day.

Lane left Alabama (forced out) just one week before the CFP National Championship Game.

Lane left Ole Miss (forced out) right before the playoffs.
What is the very clear point of my original post in this thread? Answer: Everyone hates Kiffin. Ole Miss hates Kiffin. Ole Miss hates Kiffin so much that they forced him out right before the playoffs.

Is my statement correct that Ole Miss forced him out right before the playoffs? Yes, It is correct:

quote:

If Lane Kiffin took another job, would Mississippi still let him coach the Rebels in the playoff?

We learned the answers. Kiffin picked the LSU job. And, much to Kiffin’s chagrin, Mississippi athletic director Keith Carter did not allow LSU’s new coach to lead the Rebels in the playoff.

LSU told Kiffin it was good with him coaching the Rebels in the playoff if Ole Miss was good with it.

Ole Miss wasn’t good with it.
USA Today

Did Kiffin have a contract to coach the Ole Miss team. Yes.
Was Kiffin willing to coach the Ole Miss team for the Playoffs? Yes.
Was LSU willing to let Kiffin coach the Ole Miss team for the Playoffs? Yes.

Ole Miss told Kiffin he could not coach Ole Miss for the Playoffs.

Kiffin was forced out.

QED

Probably so. I am certain Plowman feels that way. But this whole affair was a huge misassessment on the part of the 15 school representatives, with Plowman in the lead.

Proceeding without due process, without cause, against court orders, and given the federal legislation that the parties are interested in getting passed, was as Senator Kennedy put it, "dumber than the rocks in his driveway."

The SEC’s worse nightmare would be me as governor. I have decades of frustration built up.
I would want the SEC office moved out of Birmingham for starters.

He's more qualified than Tate or King Alexander. Don't confuse lack of academia experience with lack of experience in running a large-scale operation. You will see a focus on efficiency and in the athletic department, a focus on maximizing the brand and the two sports that generate the most revenue.

He is more qualified than his predecessors. Period.

Even more telling, he's done more with the athletic department in less than a year than all of his predecessors did in their collective time at LSU.
