Lane Kiffin has always be Lane Kiffin, flirting around while he was in a relationship.

Kiffin nearly accomplished something no other LSU coach has done, getting LSU kicked out of the SEC before ever coaching a game.
None of that was anywhere close to happening.

I am certain of like four things in life, and the fact that Finebaum would never get a call to promote a HC for Alabama, from any candidate, is now number 5.

The story beneath the story is that Bama (with possible help/push from Saban)…. Chose wrong and paid for it for 5-10 years.


Stupid take....Alabama was in the playoffs last year and it hasn't been 10 years.

It was the boosters wife, daughter, and sister. In kiffin’s defense it was just one woman.

LSU got a better coach than De4 and Kiffin got a top 5 money program that, unlike Bama, is built to compete in the NIL era.

Except LSU hasn't competed for anything since NIL began.

Kiffin basically begged for the LSU job in 2021, the Auburn job in 2022, and pretty much any decent SEC job that came open in between. Dude couldn’t get out of Oxford fast enough.

Yes I'm sure this is what happened. I'm sure this source is very reliable.

Please, Bama would trade coaches in an absolute heartbeat if they could.

Lane has done more at Ole Miss and is the reason they got to CFP Semi if we're being authentically honest. Bama hasn't done that under Deboer. Ole Miss was pulling 20th to 25th ranked classes in recruiting at beginning of Kiffin's tenure. Deboer inherited 4 straight top 3 classes in the country when he took over. Deboer puts too much value into high school recruits verse proven transfers.

LSU is 1-3 against Alabama in the NIL era.

LSU has finished unranked the last two seasons and has zero top 10 finishes in the NIL era.
