Gen Patton

It being tPear, I never had doubt, the dude resurrected LSU basketball and delivered McNeese State its greatest seasons ever overnight, anyone who doubted should just renounce their LSU fandom now, they suck and are disloyal LOSERS

Dale Brown...you think he gets all this praise that skip has been getting when he passes?

---

Skip Bertman was also a very influential and transformational athletic director next to being the greatest college baseball coach of all-time (Jay may be sneaking up though)

Dale made our basketball program viable and relevant and sold basketball in the state, his tourney runs from 78-81 and 83-93 were incredible, he's on Mount Rushmore for LSU athletics in my estimation

But probably won't receive praise to the extent Skip is getting, Skip being such an LSU institution ever since he left the dugout, he's iconic

It’s 100% because of the drama that’s always surrounded Kiffin everywhere he’s been.

That's probably true and fair but it ignores or overlooks that fact that Lane has lived an unconventional life as a head coach

Raiders - probably got his first head job (and it was the pros to boot) way too early (he was 32) and it was at a franchise in the last stages of the Al Davis ownership era where he was blowing draft picks and changing coaches every few years, pure chaos for a 32 year old in his first head coaching job. Made sense it didn't work out.

Tennessee - parachutes to Tennessee after they unexpectedly fire Fulmer after the 2008 season, they do pretty well Year 1, set a solid foundation then Pete Carroll announces he's leaving USC for the Seahawks...

USC - this is where the first instances of hate are directed at Lane - him abruptly leaving Tennessee for the USC head job when they pursued and offered him after Pete abruptly leaves for the NFL. In a vacuum, people would accept this hate as totally justified, I know Tennessee fans do, but it ignores the context of Lane Kiffin. He's from Cali, played at Fresno State, and cut his teeth at USC under Chow and Carroll, that's where he learned his coaching craft and honed his signature offensive scheme. Also remember, at that time, the USC head job was as high demand a head job as the LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, Texas jobs are today so we can't really blame him especially since USC wanted him. Things started out well then the team imploded in that all-important Year 3 for coaches. After starting 2013 3-2, he gets infamously fired on the tarmac.

Bama - goes to the Nick Saban Coaching Rehabilitation Clinic from 2014-16, modernizes Saban's offense, makes people like Blake Sims and Jake Coker prolific college passers, helps Jalen Hurts become a top freshman QB in the country, then the head coach offers return to him. LSU reportedly wanted him to be the OC for Orgeron (I think they wanted him to be LSU head coach before O, IDK) but Saban and Co blocked it and instead steered him to FAU. Whatever happened that prevented him from coaching the 2017 natty game happened but he was off to FAU.

FAU - we all know what happened here, 2 10-win seasons, prolific and elite offenses, gives CWJ his first true coordinator opportunity then the P5 head coach offers return to him

Ole Miss - he further refines and elevates his system at the next level, adapts better than anyone to the new NIL/portal landscape, also makes significant changes in his personal life in terms of yoga, giving up drinking, family, etc.

Then 2025 happens where 2 P4 top SEC power jobs come open and Lane being who he is obviously gets pursued...

quote:

---

I think a coordinator leaving for a head coaching job is a lot easier for people to accept than a head coach leaving for another head coaching job, especially when he’s heading to a program that’s an annual opponent.

---

OK fair and it probably cost Ole Miss the 2025 national title by them barring him from coaching in the playoff when

he wanted to coach in the playoff AND

LSU would accommodate him doing so and paid all the offensive coaches their playoff bonuses

They (Ole Miss) let all the offensive coaches, who were technically LSU coaches then after the hire, coach the offense in the playoff but wouldn't let the head coach coach them

Make that make sense

They threw a hissy fit and probably cost themselves a title
