Are we pretending Lane wouldn't have won a playoff game if he had been allowed to coach at Ole Miss?
Playoff wins over G5 don’t count. No one’s giving Lanning credit for the JMU win. It’s funny to give Pete credit for the win over Tulane, so people are doing that to be humorous.
Lane would have had a chance in the Sugar Bowl, but I highly doubt Lane beats Kirby in a rematch.

Yeah, one went back to his alma mater, and the other went back to the state where he was from.

Again, Cignetti just signed a massive extension. DeBoer didn't have a playoff win when LSU last hired so he wouldn't have fit your criteria either.
How is this so hard for you to understand? Hiring a P4 coordinator or Cignetti/DeBoer out of the G5 ranks is not the same as hiring someone who had 10+ years at P4 school(s) and has no trophies to show for it. This really isn't that hard to understand.

So what has Lanning done to be considered a good hire in your mind?

Cignetti now and DeBoer when Bama hired him, weren't G5, they were at lower tier power conference schools. Just like Kiffin was.

Went undefeated in the Big10, including beating the eventual NC winner, and brought home a trophy by winning the B10 championship. You suck so bad at this.

Cignetti was at JMU when Indiana hired him. DeBoer was at Fresno when Washington hired him. If you’re LSU and you can’t pull coaches from teams like Indiana, BYU, Washington, etc., you think the right answer is to hire a guy willing to leave a bigger school who hasn’t won anything in 10+ years at the P4 level???
Only LSU and tCaw would say take a proven non-winner over a guy less proven but could be great.

Have 2 degrees and live on here. Those 2 do not add up.

So conference championships are now the metric of success?

Mostly just weekends during football season. That’s why I don’t have 60k+ posts in a few years like SideWalk

And yet, one school’s last 2 hires were of guys that had won big post season games and continued winning big post season games while the other school hired the following with their last 2 hires: 1) a guy with 16 years HC in FBS and had never won a meaningful post season game (he didn’t even make a 12 team playoff at LSU) 2) a guy who has been a HC at 3 different P4 programs and never won a meaningful post season game (LSU tenure still TBD) How embarrassing for a “filthy rich” school to not be able to afford a guy with a proven track record while poor little Bama can.
You sure do type a lot of words for someone who “doesn’t care.”
YIKES !!

You’re on a “healthy” 8k posts per year clip over the past 16 years. That blows my ~2k posts per year rate out of the water as well. I’m ashamed

Most of them come on Saturday during game threads. Really enjoy them. Love the athleticism (for and against) and the coaching decisions (good and bad) and talking about them. Then on Sunday as we all skirmish after the games. After the season I only occasionally post. Used to post on the Political Board a lot (more than here actually) but have not done that in years. Just not my thing anymore. tSECRant is my only form of “virtual” entertainment now.

Which one of Cignetti, BYU’s current coach, and DeBoer at Washington has coached 10+ years at the P4 level with no trophies?
Hint: It’s not BYU’s coach who has been a P4 coach for 3 years now and tied for 1st in the B12 in the regular season 2 of the 3 years.

So your narrative is that Kiffin won't work out because he didn't win "trophies" at sanctioned USC and Ole Miss?

This sounds oddly familiar to the “BK won’t work out because he couldn’t get over the hump with ND’s academic standards and lack of support” we heard from LSU fans the last time they hired a 10+ year P4 coach with no skins on the wall.
What probability would you give Kiffin to win a NC before he leaves LSU?

Sure, but his "history" had no bearing on it working out or not at LSU. In retrospect, if he just retains O's defensive staff he probably contends for a natty in 2023.
He had a hard time adjusting to NIL and the portal and it just didn't work out in the end.

No idea, he hasn't even put together his first roster yet. I expect him to at least make the playoff in one of his first three seasons.

He should be fired if he doesn’t, and if the playoffs move to 16 there’s no reason he shouldn’t make it in 2 years. You guys are paying way too much money in coach salary and guaranteed NIL for a 3 year “rebuild.” If he doesn’t win a playoff game against another P4 team in 3 years, yuck.

I will let the people who are actually paying it determine that.

Good point.
After all, he’s no Cignetti, DeBoer (Washington), Sark(Texas), Smart, etc. who all won their conference or made the Playoff Semifinals within the first 3 years. Let’s not put too high of expectations on him despite having similar or better resources than those guys did starting out.
Posted on 12/28/25 at 2:30 pm to BamaBravesPackers
OP go frick yourself. LSU had all kinds of Opt outs and Houston didnt have a single one.
shite happens. I remember a time with Northeast Louisiana University whipped Alabama's arse.

Sounds like there's absolutely nothing for you to worry about
