I have been someone who thinks that Lane is, on balance, good for cfb and brings a somewhat dumber version of Leachness to the game. i don't really care about him going to lsu from ole miss too terribly much...though I still can't believe that this year of all years, where no one is really all that good in the playoff and ole miss has just as good a chance as anyone, that he wouldn't have navigated the process a bit better.
But two things kind of jump out at me...one is that if you just watched how things went down with Kelly, how in the ever loving fuck can you ever get in bed with these scumbags? Louisianans, while entertaining to observe like zoo animals, are the lowest form of life on the continent...the entire state is effectively one big racketeering joke.
From the lsu perspective, I am not looking at what Lane did at Ole Miss and FAU, I am looking at what he did at Tenn and usc as they are more comparable jobs. ole miss is like texas tech in that you can get away with being kooky and a troll and all that. Not sure it works at lsu. Guess we will see. It is completely true that you can throw a rock in Louisiana and hit four NFL defensive linemen. But it is not like that was not true at USC as well.
We will see.
