Sultan of Shreveport disses Kiffin

Y'all are really struggling with this. It'll be ok.

And by that I mean LSU will be back on top and Ole Miss will be back to picking up scraps with Arkansas and Kentucky.

It was the worst kept secret that the Mannings didn’t like him. Outside of Eli getting his number retired a few years ago against LSU, they have been ghosts around the program.

It almost certainly goes back to how he left Tennessee

I like Payton and Eli and hope Arch does well but Archie has way too high of an opinion of himslef. He really thinks OM should make decisions based on what he thinks. Last time I checked, the last 6 years have been the most successful run at OM in 50 years despite his disappearnce. Its almost as if his presence in the program doesn't dictate success.

TBF, I have disliked him since he strong armed Eli out of San Diego. That was some daddy ball BS.

Sounds like Brando is summarizing what Archie must be feeling about it.

Archie is a class act. So Brando is doing the talking.

How come nobody gives Elway shite for doing the same thing?

TBF, no one nationally gives Eli shite for it anymore and haven't brought it up in a long time.

And Elway did get criticism for what he did at the time

For instance

Terry Bradshaw

quote:

---

“He didn’t want to go to a team that needed his services,” Bradshaw said at the time. “The thing in the National Football League is the team with the worst record gets an opportunity to improve by picking the best player. And Elway going to Baltimore would have helped them a lot. And by him saying, ‘I don’t want to do that,’ to me, it was a slap in the face to the draft and to the National Football League. I could have come out of Louisiana when I was the first player picked and said, ‘Well, hold it. I don’t want to go up to Pittsburgh. It’s ugly, it’s cold, the people don’t understand a southern boy, and I want to be close to my mama.’ I could have done the same thing, but I didn’t. I went. And the thing why I went was because they were 1-13. I said, ‘Well, I’ll go up there and I’ll make them a winner.’ And we did. So, the challenge of that and proving to him everybody that I was worthy of being the first draft choice was what inspired me to go on and do the things that we’ve done. And for a guy like Elway to come and say, ‘Well, I want to be on the West Coast and I want to be on the beach and I’m a California boy.’ Well, who cares what you are, you know? And he said, ‘Well, I’ll play baseball.’ Play baseball. You should play baseball, because in my opinion, he’s not the kind of guy you win championships with. He never did it when he was at Stanford. I don’t think he’ll do it Denver and personally, don’t care if he ever does it.”

As with Eli, once time passed and those two guys won football games, no one cared to talk about it much anymore

What a legend.

Yep I do
He is spot on

Brando is a well known lover of Ole Miss. That and the arrogance is exactly why nobody likes him.
