I mean Kiffin has himself said he's a troll, it's not really debated much.

Kirby looks like a farmer in a cheap suit. Maybe a Sunday deacon.

The whole "tell me you didn't without telling me you didn't" phrase needs to be retired at this point.



And no, I didn't watch the video.

That is more SEC then being in a fancy suit and driving a Lambo. You going to knock him for having a boat and driving a truck next?

He also acknowledged that he respects Lane and hates to play against Kiffin's offense.
I guess you missed the part about their frequent discussions about their dads.
Look, Lane has some awkward personality traits or social skills. However, for the most part he calls it like he see's it. His commentary on college football has been spot on since the transfer rules were obliterated and NIL became a reality.
As for as trolling, no one was a bigger troll than Spurrier in the days before social media. The old ball coach always spewed zingers, barbs and insults towards his opponents. He just had that "aw shucks" Tennessee hillbilly accent. I still despise him.

It's mostly high praise for Kiffin.

I mean he is by far the most likely current SEC coach to end up living under a bridge at some point in the future

I'm not going to complain about Lane at LSU...

I'm just glad LSU finally has a coach who isn't weird.

This is what Kirby had to say about Kiffin when asked about their 2 person text chain that they have...

quote:

“He is very bright. He does an incredible job of evolving with college football. He was really good at that with us at Alabama. He made Coach Saban uncomfortable. Let’s just say what it is. He helped that offense and bring it along and did some really good things in a day and age when people weren’t doing them,” Smart said.

“But he does a great job. He’s hard to play. I don’t like having to play his teams because I know what he knows and I know how he thinks about defenses. He knows what he’s doing, but he’s also passionate about his family and so proud of his dad. He probably tweets and talks more about that on our thread of like memories or players sending him a text about his dad. When you don’t have a dad to share that with. Because I’ve gone through that. You’ve got to have a group to share that with to get your self-worth and your motivation. I think him sharing those things reminds me a lot of times of my dad. It’s like you want somebody to appreciate what your dad did and you don’t have him to share that with.”

I'd argue he's still pretty weird but we're happy to have him.

I've never heard Kirby say he didn't respect an opposing HC, Nor have I heard him say he loved playing against a coach's offense.

Kirby doesn't give the locker room material Lane does. Very much a Saban approach to that stuff.

He does talk a little smack after the game is done. But that's it.

The "aww, shucks, I'm just a football coach. Can you explain what troll means or how the interwebz works?" shtick is kind of old.

I do like the camaraderie between a handful of the upper tier coaches. Makes for better competition with friendship and healthy respect between them.

Holy shite OP, seriously? This is the best you can come up with? We saw that stuff yesterday, you are a day late and a dollar short.

Kirby reminds me of Bobby Bowden personality wise the older he gets. He has his own way of trolling kinda folksy.
