No. Thinking it’s a coach currently in a CCG, which is why there isn’t any announcements from PSU yet
We need 3-5 year followups on these coaching hires each year. Feels like pure luck if it works out or not.
It gets the ratings with the weirdo still just hanging around so they might go with it.
The difference between Lane Kiffin and God is that God doesn't believe he's Lane Kiffin.
So everyone in the sec expects to win the league apparently. This will be fun to watch unfold over the next five years.
Kind of like assigning that MAGA uncle a seat next your liberal cousin at thanksgiving and watching how the conversation ends up.
If he doesn't win the Natty, is there an automatic deescalator?
Curt Cignetti got so many coaches fired it's crazy
I am rooting for Lane Kiffin to fail at LSU.
So am I but the chances of him actually failing are pretty low.
His offenses with the talent available at LSU are going to be ridiculous.
It depends on what you mean by fail. I think he'll do at LSU basically what he's done at Ole Miss, just with more high school players and less portal guys because LSU can get better high school kids than Ole Miss could.
That's not failing but is that what they're paying him 91 million dollars for? Not really.
I just think he's always going to be the coach that has one or two "how is this team beating you" games because teams tend to take on the identity of their coach and his teams aren't always ready to play. This year they were fortunate enough to win those games (Washington St) last year they weren't (Kentucky and Florida)
LSU next year plays at Arkansas, at Kentucky, and at Auburn, he'll lose at least one of those games.
I had been searching for why exactly the Lane Kiffin drama irritated me as much as it has. It wasn't because he is a sleazeball; that is par for the course in college sports. It is because Lane Kiffin is a quitter. He quit on a team with a legit national title opportunity, right now! Not in the future, in the present. Chasing money is whatever, but I still thought winning was what all the money was for. This punk is a quitter of the highest magnitude.
what if I told you that he doesn't believe he has a national title opportunity right now and that's the entire reason he's leaving for LSU?
Ole Miss has every right to refuse to let him coach this team, but you can't call him a quitter when he literally asked to finish the season.
The dbag move wasn't taking the LSU job, the dbag move was demanding that his assistants leave with him. I frankly think Charlie Weiss Jr made a mistake going with him, if he has any confidence at all in his own ability, you finish out the season getting an opportunity on the biggest stage to prove it then you would have lots of OC options (Florida, Arkansas, Ole Miss, and several others that could potentially be open if the OC gets let go or leaves for a HC job like Oregon)
He and LSU will be a good match for each other.
It is pure luck. Anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves. It's basically pointless to rate coaching hires. No one has any idea who will work out and who wont. Let's me honest about it. Wait 3-4 years, THEN rate the hire.
If he didn't believe he had a shot to win this year, then he has a larger sense of entitlement than I imagined possible, and his lack of belief in his players should be quite disturbing to any future recruits. Although, at LSU, he is clearly expecting mercenaries not recruits.
Demanding his assistants leave with him is pompous as hell. As far as Charlie Weis, Jr goes, I don't know much about him other than who his Dad was. So, do we have a case of another spoiled, entitled coach's son in the making? If so, then emulating Lane as his apprentice seems to be the perfect fit, and there was no reason to explore options outside Kiffin's slime trail.
