It’s just when someone doesn’t have a real response to your post.

I don't believe I understand what is the proper use of the word "melt" in a social slang type meaning.


"melt" is a synonym of "deflect"

I think he folds under pressure and tries to get too cute with the play calls.


That was my biggest complaint about him when he was Bama's OC (frankly, that's my biggest gripe about 95% of today's OCs). But, Lane was the poster child for it. Hell, I might be the origin for the "Run the ball, Lane!" meme.

Here is a fact. Not one person on this board thought that Brian Kelly was a better coach than Lane 2 weeks ago.


Hell I remember a few posters last coaching cycle saying they were relieved we hired Kelly b/c they absolutely did not want Lane at LSU.

I know. Now that he's their coach, they protect him like a special needs sibling.

It's entertaining how fast they transitioned into protector.

Yes, they are like pigeons.

It doesn't matter what happens, they are just going to shite all over the place and then strut around like they won something in the process.

But you also gotta give it to them for the endless optimism. They have swarms of hope. Even with BK they were pretty loyal until the very end.

Same fanbase that was blowing Brian Kelly 3 months ago and talking about winning the natty and having the best defense in the country? Those guys?

The funniest part of this whole debacle is all other fandoms are still looking at LSU like the dumpster fire they are, but it seems LSU diehards are trying to gaslight themselves and others it’s all envy and fear. It’s more like we don’t know WTF to say, it’s still a shiteshow? The way this has been handled from the start has been insane. I’m sure Lane will be decent, and dude is a bit unhinged in his own way so it’s a better fit than Kelly ever was, but the way some are treating him like he’s the son of Saban is comical. Pump the breaks a little, we heard the same about the last few LSU hires, and all just saw what came of that.

Best analogy I can give to what is has been like to watch the past few weeks unfold is like witnessing some cringe high school love triangle and the popular chick finally picks the wild dude over the guy that would otherwise keep her pretty stable, and now we all know it’s liable to get ugly for them in a few years, but who knows, maybe they’re both crazy enough it’ll work out long term, even though the track record and odds aren’t really in their favor.

All that said, I wish both Ole Miss and LSU good luck. I sense a new rivalry in the works. Full of all the pettiness you can imagine.

Context matters...

In summary, Kiffin has a more established and successful record coaching exclusively at the highest level of college football (FBS) at this age. Kelly's higher overall winning percentage at the same age was largely built on his success in Division II.

Lane Kiffin, currently 50 years old, has a significantly higher winning percentage at this age in college football compared to Brian Kelly's record when he was the same age. Kelly was primarily a Division II coach at that point in his career, while Kiffin has a substantial Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) record.
Coaching Records at Age 50
Coach Age (Years) Overall Head Coaching Record Winning Percentage (Overall) Primary Level at Age 50
Lane Kiffin 50 117–53 .688 FBS (College)
Brian Kelly 50 189–62–2 .751 Division II

Lane Kiffin 50 117–53 .688 FBS (College)
Brian Kelly 50 189–62–2 .751 Division II (College)
Lane Kiffin's record includes his time at Tennessee, USC, Florida Atlantic, and Ole Miss, predominantly at the FBS level. His NFL head coaching record (5–15) is excluded from the college comparison. Kiffin achieved this record with various major college football programs and led Ole Miss to four 10-win seasons and an 11-win regular season by age 50.
Brian Kelly's record at age 50 (around 2011) primarily reflects his highly successful tenure at Division II Grand Valley State (where he won two national championships) and the beginning of his time at Central Michigan and Cincinnati. By this age, he had just completed his second season at Notre Dame, where he went 8-5 and 10-2. His overall record at 50 was heavily influenced by his dominant D-II run.
In summary, Kiffin has a more established and successful record coaching exclusively at the highest level of college football (FBS) at this age. Kelly's higher overall winning percentage at the same age was largely built on his success in Division II.

If you said this to people who didn’t know LSU fans, they would tell you that you’re being hyperbolic.


It’s purely hyperbole as every LSU fan I know is fully capable and genuinely intelligent.

I’ve been surprised at how scared Georgia fans are of lsu hiring kiffin



Three of UGA's worst losses in recent history came from either LSU or Kiffin (LSU-2018, LSU-2019, Ole Miss- 2024).


Now that they've combined forces, it makes some sense I guess.

Prove the statements to be false don't engage in ad hominem.
