so your thought is that somehow lsu is the only school in the country thats in a position to have to do something like this, when they have more donations than 90 percent of d1 schools. it just doesnt make sense .

---

what % of schools owed roughly $70M to fired football coaches and additional millions to buy out a new coaching staff while having a top 3 paid HC, highest paid OC and 2nd highest paid DC?

I think you almost have to just look at it in tiers

Tier 1 - Alabama - really no question they are head and shoulders above everyone when it comes to history and recent history. National Championships, Heisman trophy winners, probably the 2 best coaches in history.

Tier 2 - Oklahoma, UGA, LSU - I'm looking at Oklahoma's history here and not just focusing on what they've done since coming to the SEC. All 3 are top 10 programs historically and UGA is arguably the best program in college football right now. UGA has maybe the best college football player ever in Herschel and LSU has arguably the best team of all time.

Tier 3- Texas, Auburn, UT and Florida - All have national championships and have different moments throughout every decade where they were a contender and all have moments in those same decades where they were somewhat irrelevant. Peyton, Cam, Tebow, and Vince Young are 4 of the 7 best college qbs I've ever seen.

Tier 4- Ole Miss, Arkansas, A&M- Big swings here with these teams of being really good and really terrible. Ole Miss has been better lately, but A&M can be a monster with NIL and Arkansas should be if they can get their billionaires committed. Manziel is one of the 5 most memorable college football players of the last 20 years in my opinion and the Mannings are the first family of football and that started at Ole Miss.

Tier 5- Missouri & South Carolina- Had a great run when they first came to the SEC, but not sure they have the names to be included with the tier 4 group. Honestly I don't know who the best players in their program history are besides Kellen Winslow. USC has had some incredible players but just don't remember them being much of a player in the SEC in my lifetime.

Tier 6- State, Kentucky, Vandy - Think they've each had longer stretches of being irrelevant than anyone else. Not as many famous names and just fewer memorable seasons or moments.

Parents of college and pro athletes need to get off social media. Nothing good can come from that and you owe it to your kid to avoid posting anything that can reflect poorly on them.

My guess is the kid feels a lot of pressure and reads how many wins they need to save his coach's job and the dad is making a post to try and help people ease up. I understand if that's the reason behind it, but people blow everything out of proportion these days so the dad should just avoid social media.

I think the offense will stay the same for the most part, but we'll miss a few key checks at the line that Lane calls when he sees something not many people can see. That is where Lane is special. His work ethic isn't near what most other coaches are, so he's not recruiting as hard or watching the game film as much, but he can break down a defense quicker than 99% of the world and call the perfect play.

Optimistically, while I know there are 5 or so plays that Lane would have made the perfect play call to get the first down or a big play, I'm hoping Pete and this staff will avoid some of the dumb and ego calls he would make that would also cost us. Still will probably be a net negative for us on offense losing Lane, but that and the experience coming back are why I'm hopeful that the drop off won't be huge.

Weiss did a hell of a job last year, but if you looked at Ole Miss message boards in 2025, 90% of people were begging for him to leave or be fired. Obviously a lot changed last year but I think he can be replaced without missing too much.

I do wonder what LSU's staff and AD feel about it. On one hand I'm sure they don't want the players to have to pay it or feel they have to help pay, on the other, LSU doesn't want to deal with their own players potentially breaking rev share contracts. These schools want to know once a player has signed their deal, they can move on to the next player knowing he's playing for them next year.

We know little boy, you are more obsessed with LSU than old piss, lol.

Again, try and argue on here like you have hit puberty or at least have a grade school education.

This case will be interesting. At the end of the day the $1M isn't really going to matter to ole Miss or lsu. It will hurt the players if they have to pay as I'm not sure either is really an nfl player, but the interesting part is what it means for these contracts going forward. Miami had to pay off duke, the buyout kept demond Williams from going to lsu. How this is handled will have a big impact on college football.

I work one of the highschool camps. Theres already been rumors of kids thinking about decomitting from old piss because of this. You dumbass cucks are about to be worse than moo state and vandy, lol.

HA, not sure I can get too worked up arguing with someone working high school football camps and says old piss and moo state.

egally yes. OM is in the right here. If I remember right from Pete’s presser though there are a few more than just these two that went to LSU. Would be interesting if that comes up in court the differential response

---

I believe these 2 are the only ones that signed the rev share agreements. I can't remember if Chris Jones signed one. He was the lb transfer from Southern Miss that signed with us but then went to FSU. Other transfers from OM to LSU, Watkins and Dottery never signed.

So are you arguing this is all a lie? Do you not know how powerful the brand of LSU is internationally and the advantages they have being the only big-time school in a state that produces the most NFL players per capita? Lane literally laid it out in his presser today.

Saban constantly looks back on his LSU days fondly when he's been able to reflect publicly on his career, you really think he would shite on the LSU job when Lane came to him? Lane, Nick, and Terry have a good relationship presently as evidenced by Lane's appearance on the panel including Nick and them discussing stories about Tiger Stadium. Lane also said Pete Carroll told him the same thing, cmon man!

You just bitter both Lane AND Jon Sumrall passed on your school for better schools.

---

I understand the power of the LSU brand, but if you are talking about brand it is not shite on Texas, OSU, Bama, UGA and Notre Dame for that matter. LSU had an incredible run, because yes, they are the only major Division 1 school in the state. NIL levels the playing field a bit. Will a Louisiana kid go to LSU over other SEC programs if the money is all the same, probably. Are they turning down an extra $5k to go out of state, probably not.

And give it a rest on the Saban thing, do you expect him to publicly shite on LSU now that he's on ESPN and arguably the face of college football? Lane couldn't even get an interview with Bama after Saban retired. If Saban loved Kiffin that much, he would have told them to hire him. He gave Lane advice, as I'm sure he offers the same to everyone that has coached for him. Nick telling Lane he has a better chance to win championships at LSU is not the same as saying LSU is the best job in the country.

quote:

---

Still don't believe me? Nick Saban himself told Lane and has reiterated it many times, LSU is the best job in the country

---

Did Nick Saban say that or did Lane say that's what Saban said? Big difference. I don't think the guy that Saban also admitted that NIL and transfer portal has changed things. Is LSU a better job than Ole Miss, yes it is. Any of our fans arguing that are just wrong. LSU has more historical success, a larger alumni base (NIL$), and more in-state talent. That said, the gap between the two is not what it was in 2010. Is LSU actually a better job than UGA, Texas, OSU, Alabama? No it is not.

All Kiffin needed to say was I think I can win easier at LSU than Ole Miss because of the in-state talent and money. Can't argue with that and it's understandable.
