Kiffin was at Ole Miss though so you can't ding him too much for not having an SEC Championship. If he hasn't won a national championship or at least an SEC Championship by the end of the 2027 season with that NIL budget he will hear about it big time.

Lane Kiffin has zero SEC titles as a head coach. Has there ever been a more overrated coach in SEC history?
There is all of 1 current SEC coach that has an SEC championship under his belt, so apparently there are a lot of overrated head coaches in the SEC.

and for whatever reason people seem to be implying Kiffin is under more pressure to win fast than him

Nick Saban himself told Lane and has reiterated it many times,
If he said it, he said it privately. He also left that job for something different after 5 years. it just wasn't enough to keep him there. he always looked back at lsu fondly, especially after they wisely rejected his offer to come back.
i think it was the girl he let slip away, but in reality, he was able to do much greater things at Bama.

You say that and obviously the resumption of the 1960-70s Bama dynasty occurred but LSU’s first 3 seasons after Saban bolted
2005: 11-2, SEC West champ, top 5 national ranking
2006: 11-2, top 3 national ranking
2007: 12-2, SEC and national champ
All with Saban recruited players in starting roles
So you can claim he was able to “do much greater things at Bama” and obviously he forged his own dynasty there but LSU did all that with HIS recruits the first 3 years after he left.
I’m very confident in saying this but, if Saban stayed as LSU coach instead of trying the NFL, very likely LSU’s the dynasty of the 2010s not Alabama
I mean LSU won a natty and almost won another with freaking Les Miles as their head coach and won a natty with Coach O, you give Saban all that talent over a long period of time, you think he only wins 2 titles?

I think Saban was a great coach prior to heading into the Dolphins
However, I do not think Saban becomes the best college coach of all time without leaving for the Dolphins. He needed to scartch that itch and no it was not for him in order to come back to the college game fully invested
