Dude has always taken the aggressive route almost to a fault and you don't try to end the game on 4th and inches? Doesn't make sense
It makes sense when you realize there’s no rhyme or reason for any of it.

He’s a child.

I will never forget how he lost Ole Miss a game against Alabama by going for what felt like every single 4th down straight off the rip.

You could tell he 100% made up his mind to do this well before the game and did not consider one ounce of the actual game script once it started. It was like he was autistic or something and literally couldn’t come off this idea to go for all the 4th downs.

He couldn’t stop.

I think he has an extremely low emotional maturity level. There’s something wrong with him.

Their defense had been playing well enough that he didn’t expect Minchey and Co. to execute a 2 minute drill like they did. Or our kicker to actually hit a FG.

I could see the decision both ways.

I don’t think Kiffins heart is in it at LSU like it was at ole Miss

He fit at ole Miss. I think it was a huge mistake for him to leave Oxford

Kiffin looks ill. I’m being serious, is the guy okay? Does he have a secret diagnosis or is it just a drug problem and LSU culture eating him alive?

His reasoning was sound. Our kicker was psyched out. We had to drive the field against one of the best defenses in the country and had no time outs. Kentucky never does that.

Until last night.

That block against Bama was a continuation of a perfectly legal front block. You don't get a call by turning your back while being blocked.

You don't have the guts to show the video version proving me right.

Kiffin always folds under pressure. Every damn time.

His heart wasn’t ever in it in Oxford either. Ole Miss needed someone who brought a fun, unorthodox brand of football and Kiffin was offering it to Ole Miss knowing full well that he’d have to rehab his image to get the job that he really wanted. So he was hyper aggressive and threw caution to the wind. He knew we just wanted to be “competitive” and that gave him a good amount of leeway for the aggressive calls.

Now he has a $90 mil contract and a $40+ mil roster. That comes with expectations and naturally comes with more pressure and thus, more conservative calls. A donor was quoted before the season saying they expected to win year 1 with Lane and as a result, they increased their commitment to him. It’s just pressure, and not irrational pressure at that.

I think his mentality was perfect for a school like Ole Miss. His ego made him want probably more pressure than he can comfortably handle.

It was yard. On his side of the 50. Punting is the high percentage play. We just drove down.


We won bro, okay? We played a flawless game and were the better team bro. The win wasn’t circumstantial at all alright? UK just dominated all facets bro
