He never said he wasn’t going anywhere. He also never said he was going somewhere. What he said was he wasn’t going to talk about it during the season. Then after the season he talked about what a tough decision it was going to be. Then met with your school’s upper management to discuss before anything was solidified. WTF do you people want? You wanted him to stay and he didn’t and now you’re salty as frick and trying everything you can to drag him through the mud and tell everyone how terrible he was. Hes gone now. Y’all hated him. He’s not your problem anymore. Good luck in the future.

Nothing in your OP mentioned any of this. Why do you care if a Bama fan really is pissed at their program? Not a challenge but just curious.

You can't say you're not going to talk about it and then have your family fly to Baton Rouge and Gainesville. You can't say you're not going to talk about it and have the governor of Louisiana tell a room full of people he had a 2 hour conversation with you. After you have that slapped in your face as the AD you have every right to ask if this guy is committed to this program and this team. Yes we wanted him to stay, but after the Florida game I think people just wanted an honest answer. He didn't want to give it because he wanted there to be pressure on the administration to keep him as the coach. He's a great coach and he will unfortunately probably kill it at lsu, but he's a narcissist who only cares about himself. Joey freshwater is alive and welll

LSU fans have given us incredible examples of melting over the last few years and even more over the last month.

Devil's advocate here, I don't recall Kiffin or his family publicizing their visits, that was just loose lips from the locals.

And he can't control what the governor says. The governor was trying to get back in good graces after that dumb press conference.

It being publicized isn’t relevant whatsoever to the point.

Yes, all things that happen in these situations happen explicitly through public media usage and there are no other happenings on the subject. There are so many other things that went on behind the scenes. But you are correct in that he is no longer our issue. OP asked a question, I answered it. Sorry you do not like my answer.

I'm incapable of logical thought, remember?

Now stop deflecting and get to the point.

Please try to see some of the decisions that were made from a different perspective other than your own. Is he not allowed to gather information about a life changing decision before that decision had to be made? I guarantee he would have much rather had things go smoother. Of course he wanted to coach his team but that’s not allowed. Every other coach is fine but certainly not the head coach. It was posturing and maneuvering made by both sides. No one is innocent in this including your school’s upper management. See it for what it is.

I’m sure most people don’t like your answers, opinions, thoughts, personality or you in general. In real life or online. Go start some more troll threads and posts. You’re a dumb dumb.

Do Ole Miss fans not understand that coaches will sometimes send their family members to "scout" potential opportunities?

Is this your first rodeo?

It's becoming clear that it is, in fact, your first rodeo.

You were so close. It’s almost as if you’re purposely ignoring the point.

It really isn’t surprising, though.
