So can you build a team in one year like Indiana did or does it take time?

I seem to remember hearing that in the portal era with the right amount of NIL money that if Indiana could build a playoff team, then Kiffin and LSU would easily do the same.

Now the narrative seems to have changed to it takes time

It gets hard to keep up with

No after spending 50 million on players and bragging about stealing all of Ole Miss coaches and players they’ve moved the goal post. He needs time to get his players now. Like they didn’t just spend more money than anyone else in the sec and still found a way to frick it up.

I think a lot of things broke IUs way and it was an anomaly

IU had 24-25 yr olds playing not just the highest bidder players

Cignetti brought a lot of players with him, Kiffin didn't.

Indiana has advantages. They have money. They don't have expectations. They play a soft schedule. No way Cig would be able to handle an SEC schedule and the pressure of having every move criticized. I don't think they are a good comparison.

It helps if you actually know what you're doing, have a well thought out plan, that includes both trusted subordinates and a completely bought in administration.

Cignetti is an excellent head coach.

Lane Kiffin is not.

So the team that actually did it, the team that was historically the worst ever in terms of losses, makes the playoff in one year and wins it the next is not in fact proof that you can build a playoff team in one year

I really hope this wasn’t your intention, but that is the furthest thing from a flex that you could possibly try to make

Hey brother. We lost the game. We spent 50 billion on this team…. We lost to Alabama. But we are going to live to fight another day. If your team would have lost a game, would that have affected your every day life so bad that all you wanted to do was post about that ? Might want to ask Tuscaloosa about engaging with me

No flex, just a statement of fact. Cignetti brought a lot of 4 and 5th year players who had been together for multiple years. He also faced some pretty weak schedules.

Lane brought like 4 guys, 3 of whom have been big contributors.

I don't think it's really comparable.

He did haul in the best portal class this season so I guess that technically would make him the portal king.
