This is not to bash Kiffin, but to gain a better understanding why he's such a hot commodity whenever a major head coaching job becomes available. I understand he's an incredible offensive mind and I think he's a solid head coach, but his record as an SEC head coach isn't that overwhelming.

In seven seasons as an SEC HC, he has yet to win an SEC championship or even play in the SEC championship game. In 14 years as a HC, he has only won 69 percent of his games and he's averaging more than 3 losses (not counting this year) a year during his time at Ole Miss.

I have no problem with LSU hiring him because he's shown he's a solid coach that's familiar with the SEC and knows how to recruit well. My biggest concern is he's never really had a dominant defense and you're not winning any SEC titles or NCs without an incredible defense.

It's clear you know very little about college football. In case you didn't know, Saban is not your run of the mill college coach, so what applies to other coaches, doesn't apply to Saban. I encourage you to do some research and you will learn he was a pretty good coach and won a few games and a few NCs.

You will also learn things change quickly in college football and things that "no one does," no longer holds water!

10 years ago, college coaches weren't given guaranteed contracts and massive buyouts
3 years ago, college players couldn't get paid legally
A few years ago, school could be placed on probation for buying a player a coke
5 years ago, college players had to wear knee pads, but now they can wear short shorts
A few years ago, a player had to sit a year after transferring

Before you go around making broad statements like, "no one does that," you need to understand Saban isn't just a normal college coach and he creates trends, not follows them.

This has nothing to do with MVB, but with this putrid OL, Nuss needs to focus on getting healthy and preparing for the next stage of his life. I think we can all agree this atrocious OL and horrible OL coach has cost Nuss enough money and returning would only further damage his NFL stock.

Nuss, you have enough good film out there to show what you can do when you're healthy, so go get healthy and ready for the combine and we look forward to seeing you at the next level.

It's never going to make it to court because that would not be good for LSU. Like it nor not, LSU is a brand name and worth millions and it has to protect it. Up to this point, the entire state of Louisiana, and particularly LSU, look like a bunch of clowns starting with the governor's big mouth, the new president and the AD situation and LSU now saying Woodward didn't have the authority to fire Kelly, even though the university sent out a press release stating he had been terminated.

The quicker LSU can remedy this situation, the quicker it can move on and put this nightmare behind them.

The Judge/court is not going to dictate the $ must come from Louisiana taxpayers. This is also just going to ensure this gets settled most likely with NDAs.

---

If he sued the state of Louisiana, it will come from the taxpayers. This move by CBK's attorneys, isn't about getting $54M, but it is to force LSU to come to a number both parties can live with. This situation has already been very embarrassing for LSU and the entire state.

First, you have a governor run his mouth about the current AD not picking the next HC, which clearly means Woodward is going to be fired! Even if he was involved behind the scenes, he should have kept his mouth shut. Now, it's come out that it's all political and he wanted to get rid of Woodward, who is a Democrat, because he refused to rehire Will Wade, which is what the governor wanted. Terrible look for the state of Louisiana.

Next, LSU hired a new president that names Ausberry the new AD, but then takes it back, only to stay he was the current AD! Embarrassing for LSU!

Suddenly, after Woodward fired Kelly and the university put out a press release about the firing, a week later says Woodward didn't have the power to fire Kelly. Of course, LSU didn't complain when Woodward fired WW, but now there's a problem! Embarrassing!

Then, after being unable to reach a settlement both parties could agree on, now LSU is saying they firing him with cause and here we are!

I agree they will reach a settlement before it goes to court, but LSU and the State of Louisiana have no one to blame, except themselves. They look like a bunch of DAs drunk on moonshine and angry because they didn't get their ways!

The longer this drags on, the more embarrassing it will be for LSU and the State of Louisiana. Maybe next time, LSU will think twice before signing a coach to a guaranteed contract that also includes a ridiculous buyout!

CBK's lawsuit against the State of Louisiana, and not LSU, is going to force LSU to pay a much larger buyout. LSU officials have stated numerous times that not one penny of taxpayer money has ever been used to buyout a coach and never will. Well, this lawsuit could change all that.

By filing a lawsuit against the State of Louisiana, the buyout, should CBK win, will be paid with taxpayer money, not booster money. LSU has two options. They could decide to fight this lawsuit, which will cost the taxpayers a lot of money, and run the risk of losing and it becoming a PR nightmare for LSU. Or they could go with the second option and renegotiate a buyout at a dollar amount both parties can agree on, which will avoid using taxpayer money and will allow both parties to move on. The longer this circus carries on, the worse it looks for LSU.

Truthfully, he's a good college coach, but he's not an elite college coach.

He's been at LSU almost two full years and running QBs continue to destroy us and he has no answer. Elite coaches would have come up with a solution, but we're just as bad, if now worse, than last year!

We're not talking one game. We're talking about two years of the same problem! We spent an enormous amount of money in the portal on the defense and it's the same thing.

Thank god your not in charge….

Hey buddy, it's you're, not your!

You are a classic example of how some LSU fans have gotten soft! Go ahead and accept mediocre as the standard and see that's exactly what you're going to get!

Go ahead and look this up, but research indicates that performance and improvement are significantly influenced by expectations.

We're LSU and we should always have high expectations and settle for nothing less! If we're not in the playoff every year, coaches need to be given their walking papers!

I love the kid, but he knew what he was getting into when he signed with a major D1 college and signed a very lucrative NIL deal. Hate to see him go through this situation, but don't feel sorry for him.

I wouldn’t be upset if our new coach brought in his own guy

I totally agree. We're LSU and having an improved defense isn't good enough. We need to be the bully on the block and we're nowhere close. Last year, CBK even said if I was on the opposing team I would run the QB and opposing teams did just that and we had no answer. This year running QBs have torched us again and being the DC for a couple of years that shouldn't be happening.

Our most impressive win this year is against an FCS school that took a bus to the game on game day! That's embarrassing! We're LSU, period!
