You seem to be awfully insecure at what LSU does. Imagine letting LSU live in your head rent free when we don't even play.

Notre Dames's championships are like USC's baseball championships.

You haven't won anything since the 80s. I'll help you out...college football has evolved and changed if you haven't noticed the past 40 years since your last NC. I'd be pretty mad too if I realized my team will never win anything again. ND still thinks NCAA football revolves around them so they think they can sit independent without consequences. You got surprised this year.

You wake up in the mornings worried about what LSU fans think of Freeman? man are you insecure. Better watch out maybe LSU will pluck him next if he's as good as you say.

Thanks, you too. Freeman is your new TD Jesus. Happy for you. Have fun in Indiana, I’m sure the local McDonald’s and burger kings are lit up there. Y’all can bitch to one another about your shite arse schedule and sitting out bowl games.
Recommendation: Join a fricking conference.

3 since I've been alive

Notre Dame, by contrast, has 0 since I've been alive. And the kids are calling me a boomer these days. Curious.

They won't because that's their thing. They're so entitled they think NCAA belongs to them and they can be independent while playing a creampuff schedule to get rewarded for it. Then kick and scream when it doesn't go their way.

Oklahoma finished with the same record as them but finished 3 spots ahead. Why? Because they had a SOS off Sagarin playing 9 teams in the top 30. You know what Notre Dame did in the Sagarin top 30? Play 4 and lose to 2 of them.

They want to run a weak November schedule consisting of Boston College, Navy, Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Stanford so they can stay fresh for playoff bids. Then cry foul when it doesn't go their way. Meanwhile, SEC teams are decimated due to how competitive it is. They'll never join a conference.

OP is a super weak troll. Posts after midnight when site traffic is low. Probably didn’t even know what city and state Notre Dame is located in. Very high likelihood he has 0 notre dame affiliation of any kind.

You fricking suck. You come here to an LSU message board as a Notre Dame fan to do nothing but argue like a petty little bitch.

Shouldn't you be worried about ND's upcoming playoff/bowl game?

friendly cant answer the question either...is there any LSU fan with a backbone?....who is better Marcus Freeman or Lane Kiffin?


Lane kiffin is a better coach/recruiter/ football mind than marcus freeman. Marcus Freeman is a good coach who will one day have an SEC job.

friendly...you went 7-5 with a supposed stacked team....lmao. Heres whats gonna be really funny, Brian Kelly took over a shite show at LSU and won 10 games in each of his first two seasons. Lets see if Kiffin wins 10 games in each of his first two seasons but I'm sure if he doesnt you LSU fans will say its because the program was in shambles.....lmao. But Brian Kelly took over a worst program when he went to LSU.....


I'm not sure who said this was a stacked team. Good defense. Skill players good on paper not in practice. Hurt QB. Checked out coach. You think if ND played the same schedule they'd have the same current record?

Also zero offensive line at all most of the time.

That at every collegiate coaching job Kiffin has elevated the program from where he previous inherited it — and I give the USC job an incomplete considering the sanctions and abrupt firing

Tennessee was 5-7 and 106 nationally in offensive efficiency when he took over. He left them 7-6 and 31st in offensive efficiency

FAU won 27 games in his 3 years at the school. In the combined three years before and after his arrival (so 6 years), FAU won 24 games.

And we understand the unprecedented success Ole Miss has had with its greatest stretch in program history.

To answer your question I would say first let’s compare each at ND and OM. Freeman has greater resources and name recognition at ND than Kiffin had at OM. Kiffin played a much more challenging schedule at OM being in the SEC than Freeman has regularly played at ND. No the armed forces / ACC schedule ND plays doesn’t compare. Neither has won a championship with ND making the playoffs once and OM in once. Based upon this I would give the edge to Kiffin.

Freeman will always have an easier path to the championship because of the weak Irish schedules which almost gift wraps a CFP invitation when the field expands and would like get a favorable draw.
Kiffin and LSU will always have to navigate a more difficult SEC schedule.

We really won't know until we see how the new CFP will be structured; whether there will be automatic bids; seeding, etc.

Freeman inherited a Top 5 Team and was able to build off of that foundation. NIL has levels the field for ND in terms of recruiting and Freeman is clearly good at attracting talent.
Kiffin built Ole Miss up from the horrible Matt Luke era (and they weren't all that and a bag of chips anyway) so he started from scratch. He built his program while Freeman stood on some of the success of the Kelly era.
Kiffin clearly has an innovative offensive mind and connects with players.
Freeman was a good DC but innovative? I don't think so. He was fortunate to land Denbrock as his OC.

Every year Freeman seems to lose winnable games. Kiffin on the other hand gambles a bit too much at times.

They are both good but they have to achieve greatness. We really won't know for a couple of years as Kiffin has inherited a mess and his first two SEC schedules are top loaded.
