Dude has had 3 high profile jobs in the Raiders, Tennessee and USC and doesnt even have a conference title much less a championship to show for it. Even Nick Saban fired the dude before a National Championship game. Genius?.....I think not.

I’m not sure Lane is one yet, but with the talent LSU has that can compete against anyone, we will soon find out if he is.



What kind of talent does LSU have? I keep seeing LSU fans say they have all this amazing talent but yet arent even in the top 10 in recruiting. I guess youre referring to the NIL since your recruiting is nothing special, so what kind of talent are you talking about?

I mean c'mon, LSU...stop it with the whole...." we all this great talent" bullshite. You barely squeezed by the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers this year. You won by 3 points. I get it that bad games happen but youve been bad all year. My Notre Dame lost to NIU last year but rebounded and beat Indiana, Goergia, Penn State in the playoffs and lost in the Natty to Ohio State. LSU folded like a cheap lawn chair this year and dont blame Brian Kelly....if you have all this talent....you should win in spite of Brian Kelly like you did with Burrow when lameduck Orgeron was your coach.

It's not that he's that good, it's just that most others suck.

According to the OM board Pete Golding was the secret to Lane’s success and did it all behind the scenes

If you are honest, and willing to agree the he is a genius, then you also must be honest and willing to agree he will never remain in one spot longer than a few years before bailing or crashing.

Because there’s more evidence for the latter than the former.

A lot of people talk about him being “weird” and socially awkward. A lot of genius level is people have those tendencies: look at Elon musk etc

But can’t deny offensively lane is a genius. Lots of people have mentioned how Saban has advocated for lane but sources also say urban Meyer is a huge lane kiffin fan an marvels at how he can dissect a defense and call offensive plays that attack the weak points of those defenses at a genius level.

He may be weird but also may be a a genius

Is he going to win a championship at LSU?

Offensive playcalling, etc.? Yes.

As a head coach? Nothing points to that as of yet.

He really is. Over the years when I watched Ole Miss get stopped on 4th down on their own end of the field.. or forgo 3pts in the red zone vs Bama, LSU, etc..and turned it over on downs…

I normally said to myself… what a genius.

Guess you will find out won’t you.

You can be nervous it’s ok.

Don’t compare Fatboy Smart to Saban in your mind, he isn’t so far ahead of everyone coaching wise he can’t be caught very soon by a quality coach at LSU.

How many championships has this genius won in his career?

What has he had - 15 seasons as a head coach?

A genius has won at least 6-8 conference titles correct?

Lane isn’t the best play caller in his own conference…it’s his off the field self that gets players

His a savant. But look at some of those texts he sent to girls of questionable age. He’s borderline illiterate.

Take a gander at what? That LSU got smoked by Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Ohio State in recruiting? I thought you LSU fans said you have the talent to match any team in the country. All those teams got double digit 5 star players....LSU got 4. So again, show me this great talent you have at LSU....lets see names and numbers.

Where'd you go, Sidewalk? Was Nussmeier one of those great talents?..because you LSU fans sure were salivating all over that dude. Then he shite the bed this year and ya'll cried for MVB to play....then he shite the bed. Is this the great talent youre talking about?
