re: Lane Kiffin @ LSU = Steve Spurrier @ Florida
Posted by ForeverGator on 8/26/26 at 2:01 pm to deathvalleyfreak43
Yeah. I don't recall Spurrier having controversy after controversy, either. Just the occasional dig at a coach/team/fan base.
Kiffin is nothing like Spurrier, despite his attempts. His awful jabs (that aren't funny), and getting fired left and right, leaving dog shite in his wake.
Spurrier was/is genuine to the core. Kiffin is fake as frick. The two cannot be compared.

LSU is run with great integrity.

One took a player that never signed an NFL contract, was still enrolled at the school and never declared. The other actively tried to get players under NFL contracts to come back and encouraged them to sue for eligibility.
That’s a pretty large difference.
You knocked some sense into me.
frick LSU!

The article argues Cole never actually declared for the NFL draft, just that since he was a senior it was automatic?
That's wackadoodle.
He was eligible to be drafted, period. And to y'alls points, he can't enter the draft again, so how would this work?

SEC Policy Allows Cole Hutson at Texas to be eligible?
Posted by ForeverGator on 8/25/26 at 8:53 pm
Cole Hutson declared, went undrafted, attended rookie mini camps, but never signed with a team.
He's back at Texas and allowed to play next year.
I am all for giving LSU grief, but the SEC allowed this to happen with their current language. Maybe it gets updated, but a player can go through the draft process, go undrafted, attend rookie mini camps, but as long as they don't sign, they can return?
Weird. Just make it simple like it used to be. If they go through the draft process and don't withdraw, they're not eligible. Easy.

re: How soon will lsu fans be calling for Kiffins head
Posted by ForeverGator on 8/25/26 at 8:39 pm to MsGarrison
After LSU loses to Ole Miss by 20+, you'll have a split LSU fan base.
Half will start calling for Kiffin to be fired, the other half will be in denial and make excuses for him.
It's going to happen, y'all. Just chalk it all up as entertainment.

How many LSU students are gonna try out for the basketball team?
Posted by ForeverGator on 8/25/26 at 8:35 pm
When Wade's commits lose their battles in court, how many students from LSU are going to try out for the team? Looking at probably at least 5 open spots.
Just couldn't happen to a better bunch, I tell ya.

The LSU program has always done shady shite and their fans fully support it every time.

They’ve been asking all day what “rule” they were breaking.
Give me a break y’all. Defending Kiffin in this is pathetic.

re: Why does controversy always follow Kiffin?

Looks like a post that I literally said I was not convinced of him. Just cause I wanted him for a minute doesn’t eliminate that.

Because we had some that did? Not everyone did. I was never convinced and questioned why we would want him.

Posted by ForeverGator on 8/25/26 at 4:47 pm to tigerspin
This is true. Nothing will change until viewership goes down (attendance is already down, but less of a factor). They keep increasing viewership year over year. Until that flips and goes down consistently, we won’t see any real fundamental changes.
Why does controversy always follow Kiffin?
Posted by ForeverGator on 8/25/26 at 4:44 pm
It’s fascinating one man just has so much controversy follow him. The least controversial moment was him leaving FAU for Ole Miss (even then, there was probably something, just didn’t make headlines).
Oakland Raiders - fired
Tennessee - left in the middle of the night
USC - fired on the tarmac
Alabama - fired
FAU - good job
Ole Miss - leaves controversially, spies on his old team
LSU - breaking rules, making cringe remarks, etc.
And to add to that, Kiffin is single-handedly making a mockery of the sport and trying to destroy it.

I am pretty sure revenue sharing with the schools athletic departments would count. Every other element seems to be met as well.
So as a Devil's Advocate, what is really stopping them from going to the NFL and coming back? The argument of "amateurism" is kind of shot now. And rules don't really apply anymore anyway.
College sports are dead.

(2) “Professional athlete” defined For purposes of paragraph (1), the term “professional athlete” means an individual who is employed as an athlete by— (A) a team that is a member of an association of 6 or more professional sports teams whose total combined revenues exceed $10,000,000 per year, if the association governs the conduct of its members and regulates the contests and exhibitions in which its member teams regularly engage; or (B) any minor league team that is affiliated with such an association.

re: New SEC rule
Posted by ForeverGator on 8/25/26 at 3:58 pm to tigerskin
The solution is simple. Just have LSU and Ole Miss forfeit games that the SEC deems had ineligible players (notwithstanding the TROs).
Easy fix.
But no Ole Miss or LSU fan would go for that.
