Ole Miss say that but multiple coaches are at LSU today that weren't on that plane.

Apparently, pretty much all of them. Ole Miss folks said the only coach who got on the plane with Lane was his brother.

Or was that false too?

Lane Kiffin doesn’t burn bridges down. He nukes them. Lane Kiffin is the opposite of Chuck Norris.

Lane isn't your coach. Why does it bother you. Don't say it doesn't or you wouldn't have posted about it.

What? Like 6 coaches got on the plane. I said name them who wasn’t and is at LSU. You couldn’t. frickjng liar.


I know for sure that Kevin Smith wasn't on the plane.

Here's a report from that day -

quote:

After finalizing the hire, LSU sent two private planes Sunday to pick up Kiffin, his family and the coaches. A video captured and posted to social media showed Weis boarding one of the planes, and a source confirmed he was later in the football operations building with Kiffin.

quote:

Sources confirmed Kiffin also brought general manager Billy Glasscock, co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach Joe Cox, head strength and conditioning coach Nick Savage, senior associate athletic director for football operations Thaddeus Rivers, senior director of player personnel Mike Williams and offensive graduate assistant Sawyer Jordan from Ole Miss.


That would suggest that MacDonald and Smith weren't on the plane.

Ole Miss fans at the foundation are mad and hurt that he left, and that will color every situation going forward.



I am not mad he left. I understand it. He was at Ole Miss 6 years, did some great things for our school and we did some great things for him.

He just left so awkwardly.

He can't read certain social cues and know how to act in those situations.

I think he reads it just fine.

He's just a massive, raging narcissist and doesn't GAF about anyone or anyone but himself which is why because he's talented to continue to get opportunities he's left an unprecedented amount of bad feelings and almost unbelievable stories in his wake.

Raiders? Check
Tennessee? Check
USC? Check
Bama? Check
OM? Check

When five straight people who interact with you all come to the conclusion you're a POS over the course of decades its pretty unlikely they're all wrong.

I get why LSU hired him, but it doesn't change what they bought like the old guy who marries a hot ex stripper with three angry ex husbands.

Did the Raiders think he was a POS? I think he just butted heads with Al Davis, notably over JaMarcus Russell, so he got fired.

Tennessee thinks he's a POS because he dared to leave them.

I doubt USC thought he was a POS, they fired him for not winning enough.

Alabama fired him because he was already leaving and they felt he was focused more on other things.

Ole Miss is pissed because he left.

So the majority of those are just pissed because he was doing a good job and dared to leave.

I'm sure LSU fans will feel the same when he leaves LSU, if he isn't fired.

The most amazing thing is that LSU somehow managed to find a coach even more unlikable than Brian Kelly to be the face of their university.

You're going to have a problem with anything LSU related, your post history indicates no problem with Kiffin pre-LSU.

In fact, you often praised him.

If this is what you really think the situation was at these previous jobs you’re either in denial or need to do some research.

Dude was a complete mess at Alabama, the tales of his antics are so ridiculous it’s like something out of a movie.

Great OC? Absolutely.
Total mess? Absolutely.

Please enlighten me. Links would be great. I'd love to further educate myself.

Yeah, ok. Not gonna lie, if I was a Rebel fan, I’d probably be butthurt and in denial from losing Kiffin to a bigger and better program.

bullshite. I love coach O. Not a great coach, but fun as hell. And I have praised Lane Kiffin as a great offensive mind. And I have consistently said he is a shitty person who will never be the head coach at Alabama.

It is ironic that they say people who are autistic are on the spectrum. Because people on the spectrum aren’t able to view life on a spectrum. To them every thing is black and white, love or hate. There is no gray middle ground. For example, you loved Brian Kelly. LOVED him and daily sang his praises. Until he was fired. Then you HATED him. Worst coach ever. No middle ground.

I will defer to your expertise in being autistic.

That’s what kills them. Lane brought them out of the gutter, to the point that they were competitive with us. Being competitive and on the same level is two different things. Now, deep down, they know there’s nowhere to go but down, and they know that we’ll continue to be better than them, year in/year out. A good analogy would be their wives left them for better lovers, which I’m sure a good bit of them have experienced, over the years.
