Unpopular Truth: Why BK and Kiffin had zero incentive to win

Counter point:

You are correct about Kelly, not Lane. Why? Lane could've gotten the same money at 3 different places and chose LSU not because he wanted generational wealth...he already has that. He is actually motivated to prove he can get to the mountain top. I think his ego drives him to push. He doesn't want to be the only Saban-tree coach given multiple chances at prominent universities to not get a championship. his competitiveness won't allow him to rest in that.

BK and Kiffin

BK and Kiffin are are both good coaches. But with some differences.

[1] BK was a more systematic program manager with more focus on football, without starting unnecessary controversies.

[2] Kiffin is a better recruiter and a superb manipulator of the current regime of transfer portal and NIL. BK was a lazy and anemic recruiter who neither connected with players & coacher, nor key boosters. He had a non-existent understanding of NIL and the transfer portal.

[3] Kiffin is good offensive mind and a good X's and O's guy. BK had been a head coach for way to long to get into X's and O's.

[4] BK was old coach who what looking at retirement Kiffin a much younger guy with at least 10-15 years of coaching left in him. So the ambition is still there. In 10-15 years who knows 15 million for a HC might just become a median salary?. So for him to cash out might not be wise. There is strong motivation to do well.

Also please do not do to Kiffin what you guys did with Kelly. Please let him get to at least his 5th year.

Normal coaches aren't sitting on $100 million in generational wealth. They actually have to win games because they need a job next year to pay off their truck

---

Almost every coach in the top 10 is guaranteed at least $60 million
Deboer/lanning/cristobal /freeman/Cignetti/sark all make similar to what lane does
Not to mention Day and Kirby who make more but have won championships

So no - no P4 coach is struggling to pay his truck note

please post less.

if that was the truth he would have stayed at Ole Miss.... they would have built a fricking statue of him and name the field after him for going 10-2 year after year.

Another stupid take by VooDude.

There are two general categories of coaches, in terms of what they are looking for in a place to land.

One type of coach wants to win and is looking for the right place to maximize his chances of winning a national championship. If you catch him early, you'll get him at a bargain until he starts winning big; then you have to pay him to keep him if your program is situated to provide him with opportunities every year to compete for the required talent/reload. If you don't pay him, someone will, and if they offer the same recruiting advantages or nearly so, he will be gone. If you simply don't offer those talent acquisition advantages, he is likely gone anyway. This is Lane.

The other type of coach is one who is either not that ambitious or on the backside of their career and looking to coast to the finish line. If they have a good resume, they will probably be overpaid by a new school that regrets it. That was BK, for the most part.

Arguably, he kinda laid an egg against Kentucky also.

I'm not sure this is arguable

One big difference.

Lane is younger and hungrier. He wants to win a national championship.

You can tell Kiffin wants to win. I think he's very motivated and just hasn't gotten it done in a few games this year. We'll have a big roster shift this offseason as he figures out what the weak spots are.

Kiffin, if for nothing else, wants to tell the CFB world to shove it up their arse after the way he was destroyed in the media after changing jobs. That gives me comfort in knowing he'll have that motivation at least until he wins a championship. Then who knows.

Thinking Kiffin isn’t trying to win like BK is retarded my friend.

They are two completely different situations. Lane isn’t up at the facility at 4:30 in the morning not trying.

BK couldn’t be bothered to get to the facility early or recruit.

They are two wholly different situations. One spent 4 years doing nothing and holding no body accountable and left the roster with 0 qbs, 1 wr, 1 sec oline, and 0 sec level running backs. The other inherited that mess and had to go get depth.

I’m sorry but getting 3 qbs, 3 running backs, 9 WRs and 8 O line in the portal isn’t going to be successful ever.

Dumb post.
