Lucky you. You never get to have him as a coach and now you always get to face him on the opposite sideline. You should be so pleased.


We already had him as a coach, just not the head one.

How is any of this surprising?


Slightly surprising because very few coaches wanted to follow the GOAT and Lane said before Saban retired that he wouldn’t want to follow the GOAT.

Finebaum really is the biggest tool there is
Why the SEC Network continues to make him the voice of the SEC is beyond belief - fire the dude


Finebaum is awful. He's a carnival barker, but unlike a PT Barnum who loved and looked after his stable of freaks, Finebaum trots them out there and makes fun of them. He finds the biggest retards in the region and gives them a blowtorch. Truly, he's a mean spirited son of a bitch.

Alabama played in the SEC championship game and the CFP last season.


And Lane Kiffin has LSU with better championship odds and a better team according to Vegas in year one than DeBust has in year 3.

Explain that :)

And then the LSU job opened up and Lane said thank God I didn’t settle and got the best job ever.

There are too many.

Maybe Pete will get them a win.

Alabama returned one player on offense (a WR who lead the nation in drops) and four players on defense.

Next question.

Vegas is in the business of making money and can spot an easy mark. It is the same reason they had Nussmeier as the preseason odds on favorite for Heisman last season and had Saban as the favorite to take the LSU job last fall. They feast on poor degenerate LSU fans.

Saban was largely responsible for Lane getting the LSU job. But he didn’t do it for the reasons LSU fans think.

It's going to be glorious when they eventually offer Lane the job.

Rece Davis said that if bama hired Kiffin, everyone from the school president on down would be replaced the next day.

But who cares... other can the OP who can't survive without making an LSU post.
