Because it’s much funnier to keep winning CFPs with former Ole Miss coaches.


LSU has made the CFP one time. Once. Singular, not plural.

Why didn't they then? Cignetti is pretty clearly the best coach in CFB.


He is also 65 years old.

So? The average power 4 coaching tenure is 4 season with only 20% of coaches lasting 6+ season.

And in today's football you can win anywhere immediately, as Cig proved at Indiana. There's no longer a need for a coach to get 4 recruiting cycles to actually build a team with his guys.

he wasnt leaving Indiana. i dont think we wanted to wait that long to pursue the guy anyway. if we would have waited for him to finish his season then we would have had to be certain he was coming.

our roster would be shite right now if we would have waited for that guy to finish his season . he would have had to bring a bunch of guys from Indiana with him or we would have ended up hurting badly at key positions. qe wouldnt have landed our qb ,he made his decision before the natty I beleive


Wasn't the situation similar to Kiffin at Ole Miss?

Due to the portal, every coaching change results in mass defections through the portal. Every new coach has to rebuild the roster now days.

It hasn’t changed that it takes a couple of seasons to get the roster built. The change is that now it is not just high school recruits, but transfers too.
