He’s not that bad. People are way overreacting. You can argue that he’s paid too much, but he’s serviceable.

Lanes brother is going to be DC next year and people are going to be begging for him back :lol:

Well, you don’t really have a choice. It’s either that or stop watching. And you know, regardless of whether you like him or not, you’re going to watch him. It’s Lane Kiffin.
Sure, but saying he’s horrible is WAY too far. You can argue he’s not worth his money. But he’s not a bad DC. There’s been some bad calls. But people are going way overboard like he’s Matt House or something. Teams would die for Baker. The hate is going a little far.
Did you know that Baker was number 2 in total defense before Saturday?

I get it. He deserves criticism, but you guys are going way overboard.

With that in mind, what do you think is missing this year
I don’t know. The OM first half was a disaster. I put that on preparation. That’s on the HC

Kentucky could have been thrown in the “shite happens” barrel if you don’t have the OM loss. But you did. So, what went wrong?

Poor defensive decisions and play at key moments. DC

Being too conservative at the wrong times. HC

Turnover at the worst time. QB

This is a win if just one of those doesn’t happen. And it’s the difference between elite and not elite. Get it fixed. It’s hard to make complete and final conclusions yet until you see how things respond.
I will never be accepting of mid-tier expectations. Never. Not for anybody. I don’t care how much I like the coach. Same expectations I had for Les Miles, Ed O, Brian Kelly, or who-the-frick ever. Get it done.

It doesn’t mean fire the guy after one year. But the expectation will never change.
It doesn’t matter what we’ve always been. We should be elite tier. We recruit like that. We spend money like that. We should be like that. And there’s not a coach or player on this team that does not believe that. If you expect mid tier, start spending mid tier.

Why is he getting a pass?
Why do you think this? I have seen tons of threads on him. As deserved.

But if you’re suggesting benching him, you simply just didn’t watch the McNeese game. He is what we have right now so we have to make the best of it and hope he can do better.

Top 1/5 of the SEC makes the playoffs. So….yes. I expected the $100M coach and $40M roster to be in the top 1/5 of the SEC.
This is what people don’t understand.

We should NEVER drop high expectations. Ever. It doesn’t mean you want everyone fired. It just means you expect greatness. Do Alabama fans expect to make the playoffs every year? Absolutely. Kalen didn’t make it his first year and he was demoralized in Alabama. Obviously Kiffin doesn’t need to be fired if he doesn’t make it every year. But never drop those expectations.

We should have Alabama and Georgia expectations. No reason not to.
I did and there’s nothing wrong with that. That expectation should be there. I’m not saying fire everyone if we don’t, but this is LSU. You need to have the highest pressure and expectations every year. Being a top 12 team every year is a reasonable expectation.

You can pile on if you want. As long as you’re not suggesting firing him because that’s idiotic.

Kiffin knows the game. He knows the pressure. He knows the expectations. He can handle it. Put on the pressure.

But maybe relax and wait and see a little longer before you start labeling things. It’s early early in the process. If for nothing else, your own sanity. Kiffin is going to get plenty of opportunities to redeem himself. And that’s usually when he thrives. So maybe kick back and chill a little bit.

You do realize LSU is out of play-off contention and it’s not even mid-October? You do understand that right?
Yes

So what do you do now? Complain all you want.

1. Kiffin isn’t going anywhere
2. There’s still plenty of opportunities for an exciting season and actually still an outside chance at the playoffs.
3. Kiffin isn’t going anywhere
4. Kiffin will have at least two more chances to make the playoffs in the next two years.

So complain. That’s fine. But you already said you don’t want to fire Kiffin, so what else do you want to do? What’s your plan or goal here? To point out that Kiffin was a bad hire? That you believe things will get worse? Ok. No worries. We’ll see. Regardless, we’re going to see at least two more years of Kiffin.

I have no problem with people complaining. You’re fine there. But I do disagree with you that things have zero chance to improve. And it’s pointless to argue about things we don’t even know yet.

No. You’re being an emotional, overreacting pessimist.

Or, you didn’t want the hire from the beginning

Hate to break it to you, the wheels could come off this season
And if it does, we’ll address it. You guys enjoy jumping off of cliffs before it’s time to. Because you get emotional. None of what you’re doing is rational. There’s been two road losses that came down to one play. In 6 games. There has been no signs of wheels falling off. Zero. Honestly I’m in shock by this reaction by some of you. I think you’re probably just the people who hated the hire from the beginning. Otherwise, you might be psychotic.

A coach will typically get 3 years. He’ll get 3 years unless he gets blown out by everyone. That’s what will happen.

It depends on how things play out the rest of the year. That simple.

If you are suggesting firing Kiffin right now or after the season, you are mentally challenged. I’m being very serious.

Even if you think Kiffin is the worst coach in the country, firing him right now would destroy the entire program. What kid is going to want to come here after all that has happened and on top of it you fire the coach after 6 games? Or one season? Absolutely certifiably insane.

Kiffin is going nowhere. So get it out of your head.

Wtf are you guys smoking?

This was a bad loss and a game he should have won, but this is the most pathetic I have seen this board maybe ever. Nobody is evaluating anything in regards to the overall performance of Lane Kiffin. It’s going to be at least two full seasons before anyone is actually evaluating performance. Unless the wheels come completely off and he gets blown out by everyone.

Some of you need to take your antidepressants and maybe go watch something else for awhile. Because Kiffin is going to be on that sideline for a long time. And unless you’re just miserable and didn’t want the hire to begin with, you’re going to be surprised and excited when things start to improve. So strap in.

re: We are a better team…

It’s disappointing that we lost a game where we played better and are better than the other team. That is what really sucks about this one. Our very expensive, baggage carrying coach shot himself in the foot. He lost to a worse team. This can not happen.
