The reality is that pressure and expectations matter very little for Kiffin's first year. He's not going anywhere.


Exactly, there is pressure and high expectations and there should be pressure and expectations - this is the SEC and this is LSU. And you are right he won't get fired even if he goes 6-6 this year. But the honeymoon will Absolutely and completely be over and it should for the money we've spent on him and the roster.

Again, my expectation is a playoff this year and I don't think that at all unreasonable of an expectation.

nah. after the sh*tshow that was Brian Kelly. We know that it will be a fun year of football watching. we have a shot, but in reality everything would have to come together. team chemistry, lack of injuries, esp. at qb and corner, offensive line gelling early. all the regular stuff.

after this season expectations will start to rise. I am optimistic we go 10-2 but realize we could go 9-3. Because we have a good defense i don't see us going below that. But I know for certain that it will be entertaining football to watch.

I have dreamed of having a head coach who attacked offensively. Saban did some of that if he had the right qb, and Joe Burrow did it. We know Lane will do it every single f*ing season! Geaux Tigers!



It's the SEC. There is pressure every game

One thing is for certain... Our offense should be A LOT more fun to watch than that abortion we had to endure last year.

There is pressure, but I think people understand that 9-3 is very possible. That will be outside the bubble for the playoff. Making the playoffs would be amazing and I think most think 10-2 will get there. So the difference could be a late turnover in a game to determine a playoff berth. So it is going to be fun season. Kiffin knows there is pressure considering the money spent on portal and a buyout.
He won't be feeling the pressure that Sark is going to feel this season.

that’s just the reality with the portal and flipping entire rosters in an offseason. anything less than 9 regular season wins would be pretty disappointing.
