Lane Kiffin On Leaving Ole Miss For LSU: "No Coach I Talked To Said, ‘Stay There’"

He made the right career move. Timing sucked, but sometimes that's life.

Pretty sure 9 out 10 college football coaches would have made the same move. For 91mil and a state full of great players and lots of NIL cash. I'm so glad he is at LSU.

LSU should have hired Lane in place of Brian Kelly!

The "MIssissippi Burning" movie comes to mind!

Am I actually reading an LSU football story from Vanity Fair?

That stings

The people bringing this subject up again must be from 'ole piss' and still suffering PTSD. Notice the lowercase......They can win games, have a good program etc., but at the EOTD they are next level down - HARD STOP! Not just LSU but a handful of other power fives, where if the opportunity was open for a move UP there would not be much to think about!

Lane was revealing that he did feel a connection and appreciation with Oxford and that they gave him a chance to move back into big time fb. His comment was that coaches that he respected spoke to reality, not emotion.

Ole Piss "Well Bye"!!!

He pointed out the racist history of the Ole Miss program, and the state in general. He is correct in pointing out that black parents and grandparents don't want their children going to a school like that. It's why ole miss has a difficult time recruiting. Next time they're on tv and they scan the crowd, look at all the pale faces in the crowd lol

Let’s be real here, not the majority but many Ole Miss fans had been begging for this guy to gtfo for quite a while. Has literally never finished anything that he has started. He’s afraid of success. Success is his kryptonite. His schtick doesn’t work with sustained success.

Well...when you are a douchebag, your social circle or the peers you associate with are generally also douchebags or douchebag wannabe's

Dang Lane. Scorched earth. Dude, please stop with the “all these other people said take the job”. Be accountable and say what YOU wanted to do. One of two things is happening here. He really didn’t want to leave Ole Miss OR he isn’t feeling all warm and fuzzy about his ability to come through with a 40 million dollar roster and all the onus is on him to deliver a championship immediately that he didn’t have to do at Ole Miss. Dude needs to work on his leadership skills. Quit throwing other coaches and colleagues names around and instead say this is what Lane wanted and if it fails it’s because of Lane. Stop being a petulant adolescent.
