The word you’re looking for is quirky.

The notion that LSU isn't brash or flashy is pretty comical. This is the state that features Mardi Gras and Bourbon Street. The state of Lulu White, Huey P Long, and Edwin Edwards. RTWFU, STTDB, and the women's basketball coach dresses like a damned cockatoo. Lane is like a pig in slop at LSU.


By this measure, Elko is a definite non fit and Aggie should hire Elton John

It does feel like he’s tried to bring minor league antics to the big league and it doesn’t fit.

Not a huge Kiffin fan but LSU needs to give him more time. The admin can tune-up Kiffin's attitude and decisions, but he needs at least 3 years. After that, then you can make a better decision. I get it this year is not great but next year he could have a great season and get LSU in the playoffs.

Man... those were the days. And you had to respect it -- and it was a blast to watch, even if it succeeded on your team.

Kiffen used to, but it's like they get more conservative with time.

Not a troll. I honestly think Kiffen would fit better at a school know for being brash and flashy like Florida. (see spurrier)

LSU is more gritty and needs a gritty coach like Saban or Miles. He doesn't look right over there.


I said right after the announcement of LK to LSU and I'll say it again....after year 2 he will be on the hot seat and gone by year 4 from LSU.
Bank account on it.

Who are these people?

Will Wade, Lane Kiffin for starters. Oh yeah, the AD is also a protector of sexual predators as well so Kiffin has nothing to worry about.

Will Wade was fired from LSU again, why? Help me out
Lane Kiffin is a sexual predator of the highest order. He is actually protected at LSU

Maybe maturing with some leadership from AD and other coaches


He’s 51 years old.
Has 20 years of head coaching experience in the NFL and five D1 programs.
Two. fricking. C-USA titles... to show for it as a HC during this time.
Had Nick Saban as a leadership example and still couldn't act like a professional.

How much more time does he need to "mature"...maybe he's not a misunderstood offensive genius (13 points at home). Maybe he's just a mediocre coach with a respected coach as a father... with a kick arse twitter game...

Not if Lame Kiffin keeps losing games that matters and fails to make the playoffs year after year.

Have any of these folks been indicted or accused in any actual criminal acts?

Yeah idk what OP is talking about. Maybe not "flashy" like Miami or USC when they are good. But obnoxious and loud are good descriptors of LSU football and its fans.

Probably closer to 13 but either way, if you don't learn something new every day, then that day is wasted. What role does Charlie Wise, Jr., play? Does Kiffen have an OC but still calls all of the plays? Maybe he realizes one day that he doesn't need "yes men" but ones that will say, "that's stupid or that won't work". He depends too much on analytics, I think. He needs some brains in the press box that can see the whole field.

Not flashy?

LSU is the definition of flashy. They have elite teams randomly then go 8-4 for the next 10 years

I think the thought process behind that is he was only at Tennessee for a year, USC had sanctions and postseason bans, and no one has ever appeared in a conference title game at Ole Miss.

You chose exactly this. Lane has never changed and will never change. You bought the circus with eyes wide open.
