Kiffin has more quality head and assistant coaching experience than almost any other current coach, especially for his age.

Actually, it's full blown LSUDS. It's been brewing for a while but is now full fever pitch.

and others in the crowd chant “frick you Saban”

I've always liked and respected Saban. I was disappointed that he left for the NFL when everyone at LSU begged him to stay. I've also always sensed his regret for leaving. He would have come back to LSU over Bama if he could but unfortunately, Miles had just won a NC.

It was hard watching Bama win so much hardware over those years, but now it's our turn and Saban did us a favor by encouraging Lane to join the good guys. Saban set the tone and has now helped usher in the golden age of LSU football.

I do think that Kiffin's trolling will fit in well at LSU. We're already considered the naughty school of the SEC. If Kiffin is successful, they'll hate us more than Bama.

Add to that he chose to geaux to LSU and it was simply too much to overcome in finding a workable solution to allow him to finish up properly with the team.

I understand their reaction and so does Lane. It doesn't change the fact that it has made a tough situation to navigate even worse. The only way that Lane can fix it now is to keep it professional and become massivly successful at LSU.

Posted by TDTiger225 on 12/1/25 at 5:58 am

I have to admit that Lane changed my perception of him with that Marty interview. I saw a much more mature, human, and Saban-like man than I was expecting. One thing about Saban that always impresses me is that, right or wrong, he always speaks from a deep sense of conviction and honesty that you know is real.

There are many things that motivate people to succeed: money, fame, glory. Whatever it is, what gets you out of bed to work your arse off every day really matters because in the end, how motivated you are and how hard you work as a result is the most important factor for success.

At this point, I'm not worried about Lane's contract because guaranteed or not, he has something more important motivating him. After the way that everything that happened in Oxford, Lane has to win at LSU to prove himself right to everyone who is criticizing him and trying to paint him as the bad guy. Lane really tried to do the right thing in a tough situation but was instead branded as a traitor and treated poorly without any appreciation of what he did for them. They wouldn't even let him meet with his team to tell them goodbye, and instead of lashing back, he took the high road and said he understood their decision.

Now he has the opportunity to prove all of his critics wrong by creating another Saban like dynasty at LSU. Based on that interview, I think that matters more to him than money, guaranteed or not, or anything else.

TLDR: I'm on board the Lane train!

re: Can we get Will Wade back realistically

He will turn NCst into something bigger and move on.

NC State is a bigger basketball school than most people here are giving credit. It's by far their most passionate sport. They've won 2 national championships. That triangle with Duke and UNC is the most rabid basketball territory in the country. LSU is a bigger brand, but not in basketball. It was a destination school for Valvano. It's definitely not a given that LSU could easily get him if he's successful there.

Besides the way that he was treated at LSU, does he really want to remind everyone of the scandal by coming back. At NC State, it would probably come up much less often.

Les: got us a championship, likable fun guy, a lot of great quotes and laughs, not the sharpest guy but still a great ambassador for the school, you could tell he loved LSU, did not evolve and had to eventually go

O: got us a championship, likable fun guy, a lot of great quotes and laughs, not the sharpest guy but still a great ambassador for the school, you could tell he loved LSU, lost his mind after the championship and had to go

Kelly: was always a prick, not likable, thought the fanbase was so stupid that we'd love his fake accent, his only way of trying to be funny was sarcasm and sounding like an a-hole, terrible ambassador, terrible for the brand, terrible coach, soft, couldn't teach fundamentals, didn't win anything, never loved LSU and except for the money didn't seem to even like LSU.

Not even close for me.

Leverage

This.

It's fundamentals more than mindset. It's technique and blocking scheme. We are still getting out leveraged and are missing blocking assignments where linemen penetrate untouched. I also believe there is a recent reluctance to making practices overly hard, boring, or unenjoyable in our new evolved NIL era. Not enough wax on wax off. As a result, players don't really improve on their fundamentals until the season begins.

As good as this defense is, tackling, angle of attack, and containment could be better for players not named Weeks. Of course fundamentals are much worse and have more impact on offense.

The good news is that BK's teams don't follow that rule. They have the ability to improve the entire season because they start out so sloppy.

I think we beat Vandy, and A&M willl decide the fate of this team.

It seems that a hallmark of the BK era is a lack of fundamentals across the entire team. I'm not sure what they are doing at practice, but it does not appear to focus enough on basic techniques.

I haven’t rewatched the game, but the right tackle seems to be the only guy who is flat out getting beat a lot.

That was the bigest issue, but most everything else looked improved IMO.

Turnovers inside the five are incidents, not deficiencies. Nuss still threw some off targets, but he also had a couple of drops including an on target long ball to Hilton. The opening drive was abysmal, but the O line managed to open up some holes and occasionally get some push as the game progressed.

I'm not saying our offense was good, but it's hard not to acknowledge that it was improved. Hopefully, they continue to progress from here.
