Why did zero offensive starters follow Lane Kiffin to LSU?

Seems pretty odd that a coach who only coaches the offensive side of the ball had zero offensive starters follow him to his new school.

Has this ever happened before?
Look at all the starters that followed James Franklin, Kyle Wittingham, Matt Campbell, Alex Golesh, John Sumrall, etc. all had multiple starters on their side of the ball follow them to their new school.

I mean Lane so likable and cool and everyone always talks about what a high character guy Lane is and LSU has all those resources and will overpay for anyone he wants YET he didn’t convince a single starter on his offense at Ole Miss to follow him.

It does seem quite different.

Rumors that Ole Miss paid out the arse to keep them. Lacy was going to come to LSU.

Ole Miss paid out the arse to keep the offense intact. Its not that hard to figure out

“Defensive players only want to play for Pete!”

*leaders in sacks and tackles both leave for LSU*

“Well, why did zero offensive starters go with him?!”

“Chambliss only wanted to play for Pete!!!”

*Chambliss interview weeks after Pete was named HC*

“Yeahh, I’ll really just have to weigh all of my options, like which judge is going to grant me a 6th year…but yeah, I only want to play for Pete!”

Probably a combo of feeling a little pissed off and betrayed their coach left them when the program had its first legit shot of a national title in 70 years and…

More importantly …

They are getting paid out the arse by Ole Miss

Chambliss knew he wouldn’t be eligible at LSU.

He needed an Ole Miss grad/judge to play again.

I thought LSU had more resources than Ole Miss. Guess not.

Harlem Berry and Sam Leavitt must be making chump change then.

Harlem Berry isn’t even RB1

And Frank Wilson STILL whiffed on him

Having 3 national titles to Ole Miss’ zero in the 21st century pretty much puts to bed the question of who has more resources

TJ Zestery (he’s gay by the way so I’m not surprised you love him) isn’t a loss when he’s being replaced by Keaton Thomas and Luke Ferelli (good enough to make Dabo melt like a bitch)

Prince is a bit of a loss but his production will be replaced by Suntarine Perkins and Blake Purchase. But all you gotta do is run right at Prince and he gets blown off the line.

You also paid out the arse for players who aren’t worth it versus ole Miss laying out the arse for the #1 QB and #1 RB in college football.

Their greatest HC of all-time willingly leaving them before the playoffs for LSU says everything you need to know about LSU’s resources

But, they do know.

You’re paying over a million dollars a year for a back up running back? That’s pretty smart.

Kiffin will be fine in the long run at LSU, and he put together a good offensive staff for this year. However, he definitely thought Lacy and Chambliss would come with him to LSU

Cant wait to see your thoughts after Frank this season on that RB room

You'll be questioning game after game how a couple transfers have more carries than Lacy

Mahki Frazier
JT Lindsay (lol)
Shekai Mills-Knight
Damarius Yates
Top 2 for DGG

Certainly not as deep as Kiffin and Smith’s RB room in 2024 where he started a WR at RB in a must win game against Florida. (He choked per usual) Because he refused to play Ulysses Bentley (because he banged his daughter and filmed it)
