We probably won't see many more CFB coaches that win more than 2 titles

Very Elite coaches can do it..I mean Bill Bel won 6 fricking titles in the NFL playoffs, Andy Reid won 3

I mean..it is obviously insanely hard to do now obviously with the playoffs and how hard it is to build depth with NIL, easy transfers, early NFL draftees, etc...but not impossible.

But Pete Golding already has 2 playoff wins. No way he wins less that 4 titles in Oxford at this rate!

No offense, but Lane Kiffin doesn't have any and LSU fans are certain he will win several. Some of you guys don't think about what you are typing or the rationale of it.

Granted, Kiffin is a good coach (Probably better than Golding) and might do exactly what you hope, but he hasn't done what Golding has yet, either.

Very first post by an LSU fan on a non-Ole Miss or LSU topic. Rent free...

On topic - I agree it will be hard for coaches to rattle off multiple titles like in previous era's. While the expanded playoff does make it harder, there is also just way more parity now than ever before in this sport. With talent being more spread out, a team like UGA or Bama can't just stack 5* talent on the 3 deep. While before some elite teams could shoulder an injury bug, no teams now have a true 2 deep at all positions.

For example, Texas has an elite starting 22 this year. Probably the most talented in the country. Their 2 deep is average at best though.

Its true. You guys are living rent free in our heads. The delusion coming out of north MS that somehow Pete Golding is gods gift to football is hard to ignore

Kirby won’t win another.

First part I’ll concede, way too many clowns on the rant counting trophies and he hasn’t won shite yet. I get the excitement but show me

Reasonable take, an din fairness, you would think Kiffin will be wildly successful at LSU. He thrives in wide open offenses with a strong passing game, and LSU has a history of having very effective passing attacks. I mean...I get the excitement.

I can’t give Pete credit for the team, environment , mindset, season etc that ole miss was having and gong to have, with Kiffin.

I do agree with this. I guess my thoughts are that in a playoff scenario some coaches thrive and some fold. Not saying Kiffin will fold by any measure, but Golding didn't either. now, whether or not Golding can build a culture and mentality for the team that Kiffin did is yet to be seen.

Did we ever?

You also have to keep in mind that for those who have been here a while we saw LSU fans react with wild optimism when Brian Kelly was hired. So many LSU fans practically guaranteed national championships and taunted everyone here that LSU was going to run the SEC.

Auburn fans did the same thing when Freeze was hired. Maybe not as much national championship talk, but they had their guy, Auburn success was a certainty, and the rest of the SEC was screwed.

It seems many of these high profile, can’t miss coaching hires don’t just miss - they crash and burn in dramatic fashion.

Kelly to LSU. Riley to USC. Kiffin to USC. Herman to Texas. Charlie Strong to Texas. Freeze to Auburn. Frost to Nebraska. Pruitt to Tennessee. Rich Rodriguez to Michigan. Weiss to Notre Dame. Belichick to UNC. Herm Edwards to Arizona State. Petrino becoming the Arkansas OC. Such high expectations. Such grand predictions from fans.

So you have to excuse us for rolling our eyes and mocking these grandiose predictions proclaiming Kiffin’s upcoming domination of the SEC and college football.

I don’t think portal was the issue, they had plenty of talent per high school and nfl evaluations. I think his problem is bad coaching staff. When you watched them play they really had no identity.
