Going back to the original question posed; just that he won the game. At the time LSU was ranked #4 and for all intents and purposes, it was a "big game". He could have lost it. Shittier coaches would have lost it. Go see Dabo.

Well you’re a well-known moron on here so now I’m really confident he’s going to win a title.

I completely see him following the Saban path, only doing it at LSU!

I hope so. Either way he’s here only 3 years. If he does bring us a title, he’s gone to the next best thing. If he doesn’t bring us a title, or close to in three years, he’ll be fired.


He probably has 4 but the title part is ridiculous. The boosters have way more money than I ever thought, but the idea of them shelling out a $42 to $56M buyout simply because a dude doesn’t win a title in 3 or 4 seasons seems ridiculous.

I’d say he’d just have to win at least one, maybe 2 playoff games per season (this season is lost, he gets a pass for this season though), he’s here for the remainder of his contract.

I don’t know if he will or not. I am fairly certain that, as long as we are making it to and competing in the playoffs, then he’s secure as long as he wants to be here.

Maybe, probably if he sticks around long enough. This could be his last stop to the promise land in college football.


There is literally nowhere else for him to go in college and actively coach.

1) At this time, LSU has the combination of resources and willingness to spend them that means he has everything he wants. Does Bama have more? Does Texas have more? Does Michigan have more? Maybe, but not all that much more. Not enough to convince him to leave the set up he has now.

2) Like it or not, Kiffin has been associated with all of the drama that went on over the last month. He was no more guilty than anyone else (and was accused by the SEC of things that didn't happen), but he has a reputation and the drama fed it. None of the above schools who might have more will and resources than LSU are going to stick their neck out for the drama. While certain fans at those schools might like hiring him away from LSU, the big money people won't put up the cash.

The above means that the issues following his departure from Ole Miss and Tennessee are irrelevant, overcome by events. For him, LSU is his ride or die, especially the way Dr Rousse and Verge backed him up.

I also don't think he's going to he NFL.

There are only two options for how this ends:
- LSU succeeds under Kiffin and he stays here a long time, perhaps winning championships.
- LSU doesn't succeed under Kiffin and he ends up on the set of College GameDay.

I think the first is more likely.

GEAUX TIGERS!!

Obviously assuming you are ignoring his two ConfUSA Championships and all of the games he won to secure those titles in order to confirm your bias, but ok.


In November of 2011 he beat #4 Oregon on the road in his second season at USC to clinch what would have been a division championship in a 10-2 season and #6 final ranking before sanctions derailed anything he could do there after that.


After those two conference titles at FAU his first OM team beat #11 Indiana in the Outback Bowl.


In 2021 he beat #13 Arkansas and #11 Texas A&M on the way to a 10 win season in the SEC and #11 final ranking.

In 2022 he beat #7 Kentucky in a disappointing 8 win season.

In 2023 he beat #13 LSU and #10 Penn State in an 11 win season where he won 6 SEC games for a second time in Oxford and finished ranked #9.

In 2024 he beat #3 Georgia on the way to another 10 win season and #11 ranking.

In 2025 he beat #4 LSU and #13 Oklahoma and five other SEC teams for 7 SEC wins on the way to 11 wins, a playoff invitation and a top 6 seed.



I’m sure in your elite fan mindset the only wins you would consider “big” would be top 10 road wins over Alabama, Georgia, or Ole Miss, which he admittedly has yet to do, and would completely disregard the 53 conference wins he has piled up in the SEC and Pac 12 as well as his success in Conference USA, but many of us don’t share your narrow and unhealthy definition of success when it comes to SEC football coaches

Not many teams have winning records vs top 10. Combined that with being at Florida Atlantic and Ole Miss last 9 years. Ole Miss was a program that was 20-28 over the 4 years prior to Kiffin.

We will need to see significant improvement from the OL and improvement from Sam as well. Also, cannot afford anymore injuries and need #7 back soon on offense.

Kiffin was hired to build a program, not a team. He’s gonna get it going.


I hope so. He has already endeared himself to the fans and it’s clear that he is no fan of Stankey and the SEC, and isn’t afraid to say so. I am curious as to how long the media hate will last. When Ole Miss falls off a cliff next season, will the media still blame Kiffin? I kid you not when I say I just saw an article online with the headline “ Lane Kiffin’s LSU plummets as playoff hopes dim.” We lost a game that many people expected us to lose, and suddenly we’re being labeled as overrated paper tigers.
