Kiffin has always reminded me of another guy that desperate people would call upon to fix a short term problem, and who will have a measure of immediate success, but who “doesn’t play well with others” and will ultimately cause more chaos than he is worth. 

And now, in Baton Rouge . . .

 It’s on Ole Miss if they didn’t have a contingency plan for this. I mean if you propose to a girl and she says “that sounds great but I still wanna look around and take my time  see who else is out there for me” you are an idiot if you don’t have a backup plan. The problem is everyone they might want is still in the CFP mix. And a rush hire ain’t smart. But they got in bed with a characterless mercenary. He may have coaching chops but he’s a fucking asshole. And you get what you pay for.
 

He’s either gonna wind up either winning an MNC at LSU in two years or never winning the big one and winding up face down in a swamp in 3 years. 🍿

Are you revealing information about your methods that should probably be kept a secret?

Swamp is a weird name for an LSU coed but I guess it *is* Louisiana

It’s a dumb move. You have just as good of a chance to win at Ole Miss and the pressure is much lower. Baron Rogue isn’t exactly an awesome place to live either.

I can't disagree but my view is a variation on yours. I see him more like the philanering husband/wife who parties a bit too much and doesn't get along well with the in-laws. Yet, despite knowing all that some future husband/wife marries them with the "they've changed" mantra. Or... maybe I'm just projecting based on Texas' HC. I dunno.

It’s a shit-hole.  Absolute shit-hole.

I’d live in Mandeville or Hammond & commute in.

I actually fully agree withe RBG and Immamacs projection potential of Lane at Texas and think it's true for LSU. He could be getting the Tarmac treatment in year 2 or 3, or could go on to win 7 national championships. It's a high risk high reward choice and I really can't think of a better suited school than LSU save perhaps the hot mess that is Auburn.

We’re the same board that shit ourselves when Urban Meyer was a serious prospect several years ago. We only dislike assholes when they’re not on our side.

We keep hearing how complete morons like Miles and Orgeron won national titles at LSU so it'll be easy to keep pulling top recruits and win for someone like Kiffin.  

Of course, none of these arguments ever acknowledge all of this was done pre-NIL.

When everyone can pay players the red stick isn’t such a great destination imo.

True. But urban has one thing Sark and Kiffin do NOT have as a HC: MNCs. Period. I am willing to overlook fuckery with a contingency plan in their contracts if they have actually won a MNC as a HC. I am not when they have not. That simple to me. Neither Kiffin nor Sark have an MNC as a HC and until they do they are just a good to great hire. And the off the field shit better not mess up the on field shit and cause losses.

Kinda sounds like a threat, but you do you.

That state is batshit crazy.  Look at the governor cutting off the AD’s balls in the middle of this mess.  Lane could get fired then they declare bankruptcy (office style) to not pay his ass the remaining guaranteed money.  He’s a lunatic/idiot for taking this on.

I don't get it.  Isn't LSU just as poor as ole miss?  Any claims of higher NIL budgets and so on are probably just lies.

LSU will stoop to lows that even OlMiss refuses to in order to win.

He will do something stupid like going for it on 4th and 4 from his own 25 at a key moment in an important game. And his defense will be ass despite all the homegrown talent in Louisiana. He should have stayed. He’s 50 he ain’t changing

Oh, we are in agreement. The cluster fuck that is LSU extends to the entire state which could very reasonably and accurately be described at GTA 6 Vice State. Chicago likes to give that region a run on graft, but we all know the real winner.

Jimbo has an MNC and I'm hearing he's tan, rested, ready, and rich.

What if his plan is to get an MNC there (heck the weirdo Miles and Coach Ogre won there) and take over the job at Bama that he wasn’t ready for when Bama opening came available. I do not think he intends to stay. But he’s crazy on some level. Baton Rouge and all that fuckery and having Coach O as a fucking wingman is not exactly a healthy place to continue sobriety.  But if he grinds it out with that money and a talent rich environment and gets his MNC he will be attractive to Bama if DeBoer can’t get shit done. It’s a gamble but also Saban’s lineage is in tact. Just sayin’ and I am making a massive leap of faith”logic” here that this is Kiffin’s ultimate plan. Who the fuck knows?

I can agree with your broader take on the board, but I've gone on record multiple times saying I never wanted Lane at Texas. Caught a good amount of grief for it, and I personally find LSU's gamble on Lane a bit of a relief.

Thanks for that. My coffee is on my sweatshirt. I was fine just sitting here with my coffee and that caused a laughing fit. You are evil sir.

He wouldn't be the first fired coach at LSU to have to sue for his compensation.   If it keeps going as it has, there will be a class action suit against Bayou Kitty.

Are you lead counsel for BK? Someone here has to have the 411 on this bitch of a lawsuit. With all the lawyers we got on this site.

I think Lane was probably just incentivized to go to LSU by the prospect of trolling Mardi Gras with coach Cajun.

Hell, there's probably a Surly member involved in the case 4Loko!

I wouldn’t have hired him. And especially since it was Winston. And also not with that contract. Urban  won two different places. Florida ain’t been the same since. People talk about Mack leaving the cupboard bare here. And his fucking shit up. I wonder how people here would feel if a HC did what Kiffin will do (poach players and staff) or what Lincoln did. Grant you we are still the best destination imo. But still would people still swing from Kiffin’s or Sark’s ballsacks if they left us for LSU or Bama and took our staff and players? I hope not.
