I definitely think it will be on Golding.

Losing to LSU in Kiffin's first year will be very bad for Ole Miss.

Their inevitable decline would escalate with a loss.

Kiffin, easily. Not because of the stupid money spent on him, but because he can't keep his mouth shut.

I want to agree with you but the pressure on Golding because their fans want that game soooo bad, I have to say its Golding.

Pressure ? There's no pressure. LSU will win every game they play.

LSU can't lose !

I think Golding is probably under more pressure from Ole Miss fans than Kiffin is from LSU fans, at least next year. But overall, I think there's far more pressure on Kiffin. He's going to be under a lot more scrutiny from national media, and the expectations are going to be higher going forward. If he's not in the playoffs in a couple of years he'll be under a microscope. Golding just needs to field a consistently competitive team at Ole Miss. The Kiffin years will be viewed as an outlier.

Definitely Golding. He was handed a playoff team and he’s playing at home week 3 against a brand new team. If he loses, that fanbase will never forgive him and he will definitely be fired by mid year 2

I think Golding this year because he still has Chambliss. They should be a good to great team, at least on offense, and we'll see if Goldings D has improved.

Going forward it's Kiffin x1000. He is going to be under Steve Sarkisian levels of scrutiny with the amount of resources LSU is giving him

I mean maybe they'll have sustained success post Kiffin. That seems unlikely.

Hands down, it is Kiffin. The hype and money that has been dumped into LSU since his arrival is off the charts. Golding isn't expected to win a title. Everyone EXPECTS Ole Miss' program to decline under Golding. So how in the world is the pressure on him?

So many responders miss an important part of the question: "On 9/19".

I think everyone thinks that over the next few years, Kiffin has more pressure on him. Just the money involved and the way he has handled the move justify that.

But in this September's game, does he have more pressure on him than Golding? I'm not sure he does.

Kiffin has more pressure to win that game, overall. He will be a national laughingstock if they lose, even though it's the first year of a .500 team on the road vs a playoff team from the previous year.

Internally, Pete will have more pressure from Ole Miss fans to win that game, than Lane will from LSU fans.

Golding will have more pressure from his respective fanbase, Lane nationally.

Yeah, Lane would've heard about it if he lost regardless, but all the shots at Ole Miss are only going to make it worse.

LSU fans have argued non-stop that LSU is a far superior football program compared to Ole Miss. LSU fans have argued non-stop that Kiffin is a far superior coach compared to Golding. LSU made Kiffin the third highest paid college football coach in the history of college football. LSU’s AD has publicly stated that the expectation is that Kiffin take LSU to the playoffs every season.

Going into the Ole Miss/LSU game the pressure will be exponentially higher on Kiffin.

If LSU starts off 2-2 a lot of LSU fans will go on the warpath.
