Thread update:
Even LSU doesn’t think LSU is great anymore. It’s just as good as Ole Miss according to this thread. Wow, Brian Kelly really beat the will out of LSU
.


Because I cant think of any, so here’s my list of pros for leaving:

• He finally got tired of pretending that Oxford is a nice town.
• LSU actually has a real shot at winning it all. Ole Miss doesn’t.
• After that 11-1 season he knew it was all downhill from here, so he bounced before the regression hit.
• Louisiana recruiting is just easier. One big program, tons of talent, no splitting the state.
• He wanted to coach in the playoff with his Ole Miss team but they wouldn’t let him, so what kind of program is that to be around? Toxic.
• Ole Miss couldn’t match what LSU was offering with NIL and resources.
• Deep down he knows LSU is a blue blood and Ole Miss is an imposter
• He didn’t want to stick around and deal with the inevitable 8-4 seasons and cuck fans.
• Saban said it was the best job in cfb and Ole Miss is a stepping stone.
• His DC was a deranged drunk
• Their confederate mascot and land shark makes it hard to recruit
• Their school, “Ole Miss”, is named after a plantation owner’s mistress, making it even harder to recruit
• Their acceptance rate is 99% and their students still act like they go to Duke. Very snobby and entitled.

they were like 1 play away from playing in the NC game

okay

outdated recruiting talk. no longer matters in NIL era. pay and you get the recruit. simple.

the media paints Kiffin the full on villain here and maybe he could've handled some things better but Ole Miss really screwed up here and should be the ones hit with bad PR

Looks to be that way

Probably also has always been a fan based on Saban's time here

quote:

they seem pretty psychotic based on social media

quote:

• Saban said it was the best job in cfb and Ole Miss is a stepping stone.


probably a big reason he made the jump since he sees Saban as a father figure to follow in his footsteps

quote:

His DC was a deranged drunk


I have no idea about all this

I disagree. They would probably be a pre-season Top 5 team and SEC favorite with Lane, Weis, Prince U, Dottery, and Chambliss coming back.

I have gone there a few times and never understood what’s so great about it? Definitely nothing special.

My friend, you are the sort of Contrarian Douche Nozzle who would probably argue that College Station is a wonderful place to live…

No, I've just visited the world and not just my backyard in Louisiana.

This is hilariously insecure

You sure you’re not from Oxford?

Let's face it. Baton Rouge isn't a great place to live. But I guess it's better than Oxford.

11-1 and had it going well up there. Why would he expect a dropoff. Didn’t everyone say that the last couple of seasons for OM yet he made them even more competitive? Better than CBK did after his good first year

Maybe, but it’s a small town and it’s nowhere near a big town. If I wasn’t born and raised there, I wouldn’t want to stay there very long.

I don’t need to list the reasons why to feel more secure. I know why he came…

He came because we’re LSU and they’re just Ole Miss. It’s that simple.
