LSU is paying three coaches right now. 


Nah, they're done with O, so just Kelly and Kiffin.

LSU fans made a big deal about the grinding video and the accent thing, even at the time.


The vast majority didn't at the time. But now it's all revisionist history. Just like this likely will be.

It was a MUCH bigger deal than Kiffin leaving the bowl game early.

If we're being honest, people want Kiffin to fail and will make a big deal out of anything they perceive as "bad" through confirmation bias.

We all know it's true.

My Man - when you do an "ACTUALLY WE'RE ONLY PAYING TWO COACHES" post.

The point holds. You're going to pay Kiffin to leave just like you paid Kelly to leave just like you paid O to leave just like you paid the Grass Eater to leave.

You said multiple times that LSU is paying three coaches and they aren't.

Miles' buyout was like $1.5mil, no big deal.

As for Kiffin, maybe, maybe not. We will see.

I do like the fact that his buyout would be less than Kelly's, if he stayed the same amount of time.

What's true is people always want coaches at other schools to fail. Are LSU fans rooting for any other SEC coach to be successful?

Kiffin is just an unlikable person who which gives people more ammo than the average coach.

Here's my point. You'll NEVER find a coach you like. And I get it - you tasted the best. Nick Saban at his very prime..

But there is no young Nick Saban coming through that door.

Do I want Lane Kiffin to understand that ? No. I hope this thing crashes and burns for both of you. But my hope does not matter. Lane Kiffin is not mature enough to manage LSU, and LSU is not mature enough to manage Lane Kiffin.

This will be a train wreck. Maybe cooler heads will prevail after the bodies are counted.

Sure, but Kiffin + LSU adds a little extra pizzazz

Probably.

It seems like folks go out of their way to hate on him for doing relatively minor things.

The biggest slap in Kiffins face was when USC fired him on an airport tarmac....didnt even let him come back to the university.


Saban had spoke on this many times. It wasn’t because Kiffin was doing a bad job as OC or anything.

Maybe, maybe not. Everyone is just wishcasting at this point.

Not out of their way. It's just easier because he's had a habit of stepping on his own dick for 20 years at this point.

He's just picked on. From USC to Alabama to the Raiders to Tennessee to whatever.

He's just picked on. Just like the kid that keeps getting his arse kicked at the bus stop, by every kid at the bus stop. Its not Lane's fault. Its all the other kids.

I mean this board having multiple threads for him not coaching the bowl game is going pretty far out of your way to hate on a guy

It's an SEC sports board taking about a SEC coach. What else is there to talk about right now? Mizzou getting dicked by UVA is just sad.

No one seemed interested in the other guys not coaching their bowl games.

Like I said, people go out of their way to hate on Lane, and I get it. Heck, maybe it's good for him.

Well none of them showed up, gave an interview, and then left mid-game. Kiffin managed to draw attention to this all by himself.

Kiffin does a lot of it to himself. Likely because he wants that type of "troll" spotlight.

Not really, I can see how his trolling and immaturity gets to people, thus making them dislike him.

It is interesting how people will blast him for doing the same things everyone else does though.

It's an interesting study in confirmation bias.

You can say it different ways all night. That's the "new way" of debate.

Let me boil it down for you. Poor Lane, he just gets picked on.

Now you'll start hitting the thesaurus to figure out new ways to spin it. And I'll keep being brutal in bringing it back to the basics.

Poor Lane. He just gets picked on.
