Alabama not only gets in, but of course they're rewarded with a revenge game against Oklahoma.

If we land Leavitt from the portal, we'll be there.
Marty Smith interview with Kiffin
Posted by Cs on 11/30/25 at 4:24 pm
The entire national media is pissed that Kiffin is coming to LSU. It's BK all over again.
They can't stand the optics of LSU poaching top coaches from other big name programs.

He'd be an outstanding hire. I have Kiffin as 1a and Freeman as 1b.
But there's absolutely no way that he leaves Notre Dame for LSU. He makes $9 million a year, signed an extension less than a year ago, can recruit well, and has an easy path to the playoffs and title game each year.
On top of that, he saw Kelly crash and burn down here and doesn't want to risk making the same mistake when he has it good in South Bend.
0% chance this happens.

Why are our screens suddenly good?
2 fumbles and a missed field goal in the first quarter.

We would have, at the very least, some of the best QB play and offensive production year in and year out under Kiffin.

ESPN ranks all the open college football jobs
Posted by Cs on 10/26/25 at 8:32 pm
quote:
The following Power 4 jobs rankings are based on the following five areas:
Recent/historical on-field performance
Access to CFP
Roster-building/access to talent
University leadership
Financial support
quote:
1. LSU Tigers
LSU hasn't won consistently enough since its last national title, but the ingredients of a top-shelf job are there, especially location and fan support. As a coaching agent said the week before LSU made its move, "If LSU came open, that's by far the best job on the market, easily." Now it has.
quote:
2. Penn State Nittany Lions
Despite a longer-than-expected national championship drought, Penn State has been very close to a breakthrough and has the financial structure to make the next step. The Big Ten is a bit deeper but doesn't have as many CFP-ready programs as the SEC. Penn State is undoubtedly one of them.
quote:
3. Florida Gators
Florida is the only SEC program in a state loaded with talent and now has the financial infrastructure to support its coach as he chases a national championship. But the overall coaching churn and uneven results in Gainesville can't be ignored.
quote:
4. Oklahoma State Cowboys
If Oklahoma State has a strong plan, it should be able to rise fairly quickly in a league without behemoth brands. The team isn't far removed from CFP contention and can get there faster than other programs on this list.
quote:
5. Virginia Tech Hokies
Virginia Tech is a football school in a winnable conference that can take a significant step with newfound financial backing and the right coaching hire.
quote:
6. Arkansas Razorbacks
Despite success in other sports, Arkansas' backslide in football and position within an increasingly challenging conference creates a steep climb to CFP relevancy. Arkansas has definite growth potential but must improve at harnessing local financial support.
quote:
7. Stanford Cardinal
Stanford's recent on-field struggles, awkward placement in the ACC and limited recruiting pool creates some unavoidable obstacles, but Luck's leadership and a renewed commitment to the program generates genuine hope.
quote:
8. UCLA Bruins
UCLA hasn't been consistently good for a long time and now plays on the Western flank of a conference with more top-tier programs that have fewer problems acquiring talent and filling their stadiums.

re: More expensive? Lanning or Kiffin?
Posted by Cs on 10/26/25 at 8:11 pm to LesterFreamon
Have no clue why people keep throwing out Lanning's name.
There's no way he leaves. Oregon is now in the Big Ten, he has unlimited Nike money for NIL and facilities, and gets to live in the pacific northwest.
He's not giving all that up to come to south Louisiana.

ESPN: Of all the major coaching openings, LSU is the biggest of them all

For the third consecutive Sunday in October, a major college football coaching job has opened, and LSU is the biggest of them all.
quote:
LSU's firing throws another surprising twist into an incredibly active coaching cycle. Although Penn State and Florida are both A-list jobs, LSU is on a tier of its own. LSU is the only Power 4 program in a state rich with talent. The fact three very different coaches -- Nick Saban, Les Miles and Ed Orgeron -- all won national championships there speaks to the job's potential and overall excellence.
quote:
Is it a perfect job? No. The politics and occasional dysfunction around LSU are baked in there. Athletics director Scott Woodward's future is also in question after the Kelly hire failed so miserably and led to a $54 million buyout. But the potential at LSU is massive and every potential candidate knows what the program can be when everything is aligned. Buckle up. Things are about to get even wilder.
LINK
ESPN knows. Coaches know. This is the biggest football job opening and it's not particularly close.
Whoever we have calling the shots right now had best not frick this up.
Candidates listed:
Lane Kiffin - "LSU's firing of Kelly could be really bad news for Florida, which has made little secret of its desire to bring Kiffin to Gainesville. Perhaps Florida can still get its man, but Kiffin should be near or at the very top of LSU's wish list. He wouldn't have to deal with in-state competitors there, and would lead a program with few if any limitations with resources, facilities and fan base. Kiffin is 51-19 at Ole Miss and has the Rebels positioned for their first-ever CFP appearance this season, which could end up hurting his chances to take another job. But he doesn't need to be sold on LSU's history and the recruiting advantages. The 50-year-old is 112-53 as an FBS coach."

re: Go get Kiffin and the best D coordinator available
Posted by Cs on 10/26/25 at 7:12 pm to VerbalKint
Kiffin would win a title here.
At the very least, we'll never have to worry about QB play or offensive production.

re: May need to go the coordinator route
Posted by Cs on 10/26/25 at 6:29 pm to FlappingPierre
Oklahoma, Notre Dame, USC, Georgia, Michigan, Oregon, Ohio State, and others have all done this.
LSU is definitely not above hiring an elite, younger coordinator as a HC.
You'd have to find someone who:
A) Consistently fields top 10 units for whatever side of the ball they're coaching
B) Relentless recruiter
C) Can motivate and relate well to the players.

re: CBS says Woodward and Kelly had a meeting this afternoon that "did not go well"

Update from CBS. Added to OP.
Seems like it's done - just ironing out the details of the departure.

LSU is considering firing fourth-year coach Brian Kelly, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation, after a day of internal meetings and escalating tension inside the football facility.
quote:
Kelly, 64, arrived at the facility around 8:30-8:45 a.m. local time intent on evaluating his staff and, according to sources, exploring potential changes that would have included parting ways with offensive coordinator Joe Sloan.
By early afternoon, though, after a meeting with Woodward that reportedly did not go well, the conversation around Kelly's future began to change. Multiple staff members told CBS Sports that Kelly left the facility shortly thereafter and that the belief among much of his coaching staff is that his tenure at LSU may be nearing its end.

Posted by Cs on 10/26/25 at 1:27 pm
So the head coach has no remaining support....but we're gutting the staff on one side of the ball (again) and giving him free reign to bring in another 4+ assistant coaches (again)?
Not to mention....what elite coaches are going to come for 1 year only to be shown the door when BK is inevitably fired?

Why the hell should Kelly be given the chance to bring in yet more massive staff changes?
He had the chance to replace Denbrock. He didn't. He chose to promote Sloan. And here we are.
We've already replaced the entire defensive staff and then spent $20 million in the portal to load up the talent and depth....and yet here we are.

Stewart Mandel says LSU may not have the patience to keep Brian Kelly
Posted by Cs on 10/26/25 at 9:38 am
quote:
LSU Tigers football coach Brian Kelly may not survive the day in Baton Rouge.
The Athletic’s Stewart Mandel stated that by the time college football’s top 25 rankings came out on Sunday, LSU won’t be ranked, and the 64-year-old could be $53.3 million richer from his buyout clause. Kelly’s team lost 49-25 to the TAMU Aggies on Saturday night in Death Valley to fall to 5-3 on the year. This was their second straight loss and third of the season.
quote:
AD Scott Woodward may not have the patience to keep Kelly, Mandel writes, based on how he fired Ed Orgeron two years after engineering the magical 2019/2020 College Football Playoff National Championship run.
“No. 20 LSU (5-3, 2-3) has lost three of its past four, and will no longer be ranked come Sunday afternoon. We’ll see whether Kelly, who has a staggering $53 million buyout, will still be employed by then,” Mandel wrote.
quote:
Mandel described the top reasons Kelly will be fired, which range from football strategy to simply having a personality that doesn’t fit in the Deep South.
“Woodward is the same AD who canned Ed Orgeron less than two years removed from a national title. Kelly was hired to win one himself, but his program has only grown farther from contention with each season. LSU went all in on its 2025 team — Kelly said in August the program had tripled its payroll this year to $18 million — and thus expected returns.
quote:
“Compounding all of that, Kelly is famously … what’s the word … divisive? Saturday night, the cameras showed him yelling in quarterback Garrett Nussmeier’s face, cursing out offensive coordinator Joe Sloan over the headset and trying to throw that same headset in disgust, only to realize it was attached to him.
LSU is off next week before visiting yet another top-five foe, Alabama. There are $53 million reasons to assume he’ll still be on the sideline, but as we’ve seen over and over this season, schools always find the money.”
quote:
In terms of a football fit, the results speak for themselves. The Tigers have gotten worse since their SEC Championship appearance in 2022. Worse yet, the team’s payroll has ballooned as NIL has expanded.
The results don’t fit the investment. LSU fans will do everything they personally can to ensure Kelly is gone from this program as soon as possible.
