True true.

But man, LSU will eat Lane alive if he doesn’t perform damn near immediately

There's something to this, I think. If he loses in the 1st round this year at Ole Miss, people start talking. It's year 6. Kiffin may never win one. But at LLLsu it's year 1 all over again, so he gets some latitude to "build". So when he still hasn't won one in year 4, and LLLsu has to pay his buyout to fire him, he'll be 4 years closer to retirement and $50m+ richer plus his buyout money.


Fans turn on coaches a lot faster than is reasonable. If his win totals start going down and he fails to make the playoffs in 26 and 27 people will look to replace him. It’s crazy but it happens. If he has initial success at LSU don’t be shocked if he jumps pretty quickly to the NFL or another top program if the situation opens up.

I wouldn’t trust Saban to know what he is talking about. In the NIL era teams can’t stack talent and let them ride the bench for 2-3 years before seeing the field.

Not when they can get a bag of cash and actually go play somewhere else.

LSU won’t be immune to this when Alabama and Georgia have not.

Due to the changes about to happen in NIL Ole Miss won't be able to spend & buy rosters like they have been since they'll know have to show that it's an actual legit endorsement deal! Lsu has laid the groundwork ahead of the changes for this with the partnerships the collective has in place with companies who want to partner with the LSU brand! They showed this to Lane and he realized what this means for both programs!

Acting like the resources are the same in Oxford and in Baton Rouge is just intentionally ignoring facts.


Acting like the old way of recruiting matters one iota these days is very telling. Plus LSU has a shitshow around it constantly because there are no adults or leaders in that state much less at the university. Does it have more historical success than Ole Miss? Sure. Does that mean it’s a better job now? Absolutely not. Let me put it this way: Our athletic department at USC is crappy right now but I would much rather be in our situation than yours and it’s not even close.

It’s who he is. He is always chasing that next arse and LSU is his next mistress. You’d think he would have learned from leaving Tennessee and being left on the runway by Southern Cal and the Joey Freshwater scandal but nope. He doesn’t grow or change, he just found more success with lower expectations and will implode like he did before but more spectacularly than he did with Southern Cal and the Raiders.

Hmm. Maybe because they struggle with high school recruiting?

Ole Miss has had 3 of their last 16 HS recruiting classes inside the top 17 and only 2 were top 10.

They have only gotten up to 17 under Kiffin in 6 years.

The difference? At LSU, they can build the roster out with both top tier HS recruiting and transfer recruiting. At Ole Miss, they have to rely on the portal for almost everything at this point.

That is a huge difference.

LSU average ranking in that time is 7 with only 2 times in 10 years outside the top 10.

Ole Miss average ranking in that time is 23with only two times in the top 10.

Yes. It’s the same I am sure.

This is a huge deal that plays heavily into HS recruiting. LSU produces a lot of big name stars in multiple sports. Ole Miss? Outside of Eli, not so much.

He's never left for an equal or worse position though, other than possibly leaving Tennessee for USC but he also had a lot of history there.

You're painting this as maybe a worse job or at least lateral.

LSU is a better program historically, but I also don't really get it from his perspective. You can get better HS talent at LSU. But he seemingly hates recruiting HS. Several coaches have recruited HS better at OM than Lane did. So don't really understand how LSU is a draw in that way.

You have OM set up and rolling. Done it with multiple QBs. No reason why they wouldn't have been right back where there are now next year.

Gonna take at least 2 years to get LSU back together, and add in the multiple toxic messes they've had going on the last few years.

Just dunno. For a coach that wants to stack multiple NCs, think I might stick with the one on the doorstep.

The situation is FAR worse. What controversy has Ole Miss football dealt with the last 5 years or so? He’ll have they had any controversy with any of their programs? Look at the bullshite LSU football has had just in the last 5-6 weeks.

Does LSU have more history? Sure. Not really relevant right now but sure. Do they have more/better resources? Yeah by a slight margin. Would most rational people leave the current (before the last couple of weeks) situation at Ole Miss for LSU given that the disfunction and negatives clearly outweigh the benefits/positives? Hell no.

I get that you are on the inside and want to defend your school but the rest of us don’t have to kid ourselves about the reality of it all.
