I just don’t see how anything that starts this rotten can work out

He's a dead man walking. LSU fans are already setting themselves up for serious disappointment with their laughably absurd expectations (like they do every single year). They legit think Kiffin's gonna walz in there and easily go 16-0 every year. The reason? He won with less... just like Brian Kelly, Billy Napier and Hugh Freeze. They're going to melt so hard when he loses his first game next year, things may get violent. Especially when reality slaps them in the face. Kiffin is a good coach but he's notorious for losing games he shouldn't. And when he gets pantsed by another SEC team with zero conference wins, it's gonna get ugly. He'll have a very short leash.

Plus you saw how Kiffin reacted when a beat reporter called him a ho. Dude won't be handle the heat from LSU fans. Theyll call Lane and his family every name in the book, threaten his children, stalk his girlfriend, etc. I legit think Kiffin only took this job for the payout. He knows how insane their fans are, how the administration treated Kelly and the fact that they wont tolerate 9-3 seasons at LSU unlike Florida and Ole Miss. But I bet he'll coast until he gets thay buyout just like Kelly did.

They do have a pretty manageable schedule next year unfortunately. All their tough games are at home.

Never thought I'd see a HC abrubtly leave his team for another when they're going to the playoff, national champion contender.
I actually feel sorry for Ole Miss.
Lane has gotten even richer, however, it's a low blow he gave, bad look for his image, considering the circumstances, should be embarrased.

In today's era of NIL/transfer portal football, I'm not convinced LSU is THAT much better of a job. He's giving up a lot of leeway and good will at Ole Miss to go to a program that's equal parts tradition and psychotic dysfunction. And he's doing it at a time when the value of tradition is at an all-time low.

The mess he leaves at his former employers is not a problem for LSU. Realistically, LSU is a "terminal position" for head coaches in the 21st century. He's either going to flourish there and coach until he wants to hang em up OR he's going to crash out and decide whether he wants to restart his path through the coaching cursus honorum. I suppose there is a chance the NFL may call his name. However, I suspect that chances of that happening are slim to none because he went out of Oakland on terms that probably blackballs him with NFL owners.
