Many LSU fans are saying they will be ok with 8-4 or 9-3 in year one and missing the playoffs.

If that happens this website will prove that is false.

Looks like at least one donor is expecting Kiffin to produce 9+ wins:

Fans on this site may say that, but the boosters bankrolling a $40m+ roster aren't going to accept that

there are many LSU fans on here who have been vocal in their opinion that Kiffin to LSU is a more important and consequential hire than Saban to Bama.

What will the Bama fans do when they continue the decline?

Oh wait, we already know

How can a decline "continue" if we got better in KDB's second year?

Some of you people are outright stupid.No program with the turnover LSU has had in coaching and players should be expected to win more than 8 games.I don’t care if BEAR BRYANT was dug up and on the sidelines.What was NS 1st years at LSU and BAMA, LK will win big but it won’t be this year.

So…. I guess you are dropping some serious cash then on the Under for LSU since our Vegas Win total is 9.5, same as Georgia & Texas.

Some of your boosters are stupid as well. That is their expectation. But then again they donated millions to a football program so I doubt they are the smartest individuals out there.

You ever drop $1000 or more on season tickets???

That’s about the same as dropping $1 - $2 million when your net worth is $100+ million.

Canes Chicken man, Todd Graves, is worth $22 billion all by himself. Dropping $5 million to him is peanuts.

I'll be happy with 9-3 in Kiffin's first year as compared to the recent past.

I drop more than $1000 on lots of things so your point is valid. I've always thought football departments were run by rich, stupid people. When I make a donation of any sort, it is to charity or the academics for the tax write-off. Because that is what my financial advisor told me to do to avoid nasty tax payments

I have money, but leave it in the hands of those who know more about how to maximize it. I would never donate to NIL no matter how good A&M sports are or aren't.

I get it. I’m not one to do it either. I have a long time client, who I’m very good friends with in Birmingham. Huge Alabama booster. He gets a lot of enjoyment out of donating large sums of cash to Alabama football. It’s his love, so I get that too.

I know a lot of people like your booster friend. Most of them aren't self-made, because self-made people just don't do things like that. They tend to be notoriously cheap
