He created a strawman argument by saying he was arguing LSU fan statements related to money (coaching salaries, in his post) when the poster he was replying to didn't say anything about money. A complete strawman argument.

Then he moved the goalposts to NIL money.

I find his initial assertion regarding Kelly's salary being his motivation for leaving Notre Dame, interesting, as Notre Dame's AD at the time was very forthcoming and publicly said that Kelly didn't even allow Notre Dame to attempt to match the offer.

If money were his motivation, why not see if your current job can at least get close? I'm sure Notre Dame is richer than LSU.

You were talking about coach salaries. Why move the goalpost?


I’m not moving anything, I am still speaking about salaries The amount of money they are spending on NIL absolutely is an employment benefit - and it isn’t taxable.. Like health insurance. It doesn’t show up as direct pay, it isn’t taxable, but it is part of the overall value of a salary compensation package someone would consider. If NIL was not important to coaches then Kelly would not have pledged $1 million of his own money towards NIL.

Again, any rational grownup understands that all these benefits absolutely are a part of a compensation package. It isn’t uncommon for people to move to a job with a lower base salary because the overall salary compensation package is better. Only a simpleton, someone who isn’t very experienced with jobs, or someone stricken with blind homerism would argue otherwise.

Other benefits, almost like recruiting advantages (including NIL money) facilities, etc.

Almost like Lane's entire reason, which he alluded to in the OP. The same thing Kelly said. Access to better players, more talent.

The moved goalpost helped us successfully come full circle.

If money wasn’t a motivation why did LSU pay Brian Kelly so much? And guarantee 90% of it?

If he just wanted to coach at LSU then they could have saved millions.

And why did they repeat this mistake with Lane Kiffin?

No you are mad at the fact you have lost the best coach in history, you’re mad at the dipshit coach of yours and you're mad that your team has no future while dipshit is running your program into a fricking ditch.

I understand your angst, I just wouldn’t act out the same way you and fatfrickbama are acting. Grow up.

I didn't say it wasn't a motivation, I said it wasn't the motivation. And now we're back to why does any top job pay ridiculous salaries?

Because that's the market.

The salary could've been Kelly's motivation, I don't know. He certainly didn't give Notre Dame any chance to match, according to their AD.

If I liked my job and had a better offer elsewhere, I'd give my current company the opportunity to match. Perhaps that's just me.

In the case of Kiffin, he apparently received very similar offers from Florida and Ole Miss so it would appear that his salary wasn't the primary motivation.

You mean like calling someone fatfrickbama on a internet message board? That kind of grown up?

You seem to be the one who is mad.

Do you mean name calling? If so that’s about 5 grades above your jealous rage, forcing you and fatfrickbama to act out at the level you are.

Again, grow up you incessant, childish, psycho.

Is their any quote from Saban proving he told Lane this?


You're really one of those people who believes this is a lie?

Of course. Absence of evidence is in fact, evidence.


I mean Nick has never refuted what Lane says he told him about LSU so like that poster said either he's fine letting Lane put words in his mouth or he did in fact tell Lane that

Either way, unless Nick says something to the contrary, it's public record now and we're glad it is

Not necessarily. Ole Miss may be behind LSU but not that far. There are characteristics that Ole Miss has that is better than LSU. Just because he left OM to go to LSU doesn’t mean it was because it’s better.
Lane was running from prostitutes, drama, drug sniffing dogs and everything that he will soon have at LSU.

See when the media and other coaches constantly tell us, without asking, even at media days… “Lane has improved as an individual, and is still working on himself”

They’re blowing smoke because there’s actually a lot of fire, and they want us to just say “ok”.

People are stupid. That guy has issues, and it will show soon.

LMK's offensive genius will get EVEN BETTER with LSU recruits. Will be unstoppable. Has 2 GREAT QB;s, RB's, WR's, and a solid O-line. Pieces are all there. Even has Saban to continue to mentor him. DEATH VALLEY will be on fire every Saturday game night...TIGER BAIT!!!
