Anyone Else Think Kiffin Falls On His Face?

[BugsAreQualityProtein]

The guy can coach an offense don’t get me wrong. But he still doesn’t seem mature enough to put it all together and win a natty.

 

[Killersker47]

Probably. Only because the LSU rabid fan base won’t give him the length of time Ole Miss did…

 

[Cruel Halo]

It would be nice to have some of his immaturity at Nebraska and make the CFP.

Dragging Houston Nutt out of retirement seems attractive compared to what we have now.

[litespeedhuskerfan]

He's going to kill it at LSU

 

[QAnon399535]

Wrong

 

[suffocation_]

I think they'll be good, but not as good as people are expecting.

10-11 win seasons, not national championships

Kirby still owns him

 

[RBigredMax1]

Ole Miss to the playoffs? He’s the real deal. Think he’s got the right approach in today’s college football to be successful. Wouldn’t expect it all to click in year 1. Maybe year 4??

 

[Cruel Halo]

 

[Maui-Wowi]

I think he’s gonna build a monster at LSU and everyone is gonna hate on him.

 

[InMotion]

He's going to kill it at LSU

I think so too. If he can do it at Ole Miss, he can definitely do it at LSU.
LSU will be fun to watch. Looking forward to it.

 

[K Rod]

Kiffin has an elite recruiter in Ed O. And a good NIL base. Kiffin himself is a good recruiter. Kiffin is going to have LSU at the top of the SEC in short order.

 

[Baxter48]

I don’t think he’ll fall flat but I can see him jumping to bama if the fire there coach, his has a giant ego either that or cig goes to bama

 

[orclover11]

"killing it" requires a lot of luck but I appreciate somebody who understands the business and is trying to win. I would love to watch husker games knowing the millionaire staff is all in on winning.

I'm not sure the Bama brass would want to put up with Kiffin. But I do know the student base and a decent amount of fans are not impressed with Deboer at the moment.

 

[steinek11]

I think they are at least a two loss team under him most years. Their fans will not be happy with that.

 

[Zeke Husker]

National champion contender as long as he is at LSU

 

[Scoop123]

Kiffin is the perfect villain in college football. I've always disliked him. Recently? Hmmm.... I've started to embrace him as the villain. Dude has a little Mike Leach in him. He does it his way and screw everyone else.


I support him as a villain - And he could actually go WWE and go from villain to good guy on short notice with a leap from the top rope and flying elbow to Alabama or Georgia. Kiffin is good for the game - like him or hate him.

He is not close to Mike Leach . Leach was as genuine as the day is long. Lane is a phony little brat.

He will have LSU in the conversation. National championships are not easy to win, but I think he will have LSU in the playoffs on an annual basis. Too many good players and LSU and Lane will do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING to get them.

 

[Wasker73]

Bama brass? I've never considered Alabama to be the pinnacle of ethical conduct. Those fat cats in Tuscaloosa in their crimson blazers will be on their knees ready to swallow if they could get Lane.

My sister works in the athletic department at Bama. Kiffin is not spoken of favorably there. So I’ll stand by what I said.

If they wanted to "swallow" Lane so badly, why did Saban tell them not to interview Lane? Please enlighten us why they didn't remotely consider Lane when they had an opening very recently....

 

[TheRealPeliniTheCrutch]

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure once the playoff moves to 16 teams it's going to help some coaches hang around longer than they might have before.

A "big Bo fan" calling Kiffin a phony little brat is hilarious. Yeah, he's only about twice as successful as Bo and about half as big a cry baby. But other than that, good point dude.

The SEC just filed a lawsuit against LSU and Lane Kiffin to try to prevent them from playing the former Ole miss dudes that got cut in an NFL camp . A Baton Rouge judge in an injunction said they could play. Doesn’t appear Lane is getting off to a smooth start in Baton Rouge.

Not at all. But of course a local judge who is likely a fan, at minimum, if not an alumni, donor, or somehow affiliated with the university, is going to say it’s okay if LSU breaks the rules. We saw this with Ole Miss and their QB situation over the summer.

I think it’s all a way to pressure LSU and Lane into doing the right thing. I don’t see LSU getting kicked out of the SEC.

This myth that Alabama is somehow every coach's dream job needs to end already.

NIL support is the only thing coaches have to care for anymore, and Alabama isn't close to the top of that list.

Further from that, you have to understand that these dudes are in want of legacy. There is no legacy to build at Alabama because it has been out so far out of reach by Saban.

Neither of them care what you think or say. That's the similarity I was referring to.

I stand corrected. Dan Patrick was talking on his show this morning about Kiffin not being well respected in Tuscaloosa.

 

[broken record]

The guy can coach an offense don’t get me wrong. But he still doesn’t seem mature enough to put it all together and win a natty.

Honestly no. I think he will win an NC at LSU.

When Kiffin was on Sabans staff, his family stayed in California. He was not yet divorced, but he was trolling sorority, girls, big-time, and being a total lush. Saban had to have people keep tabs on him, and they even told him to knock it off. But but they were successful, and Saban never went so far as to fire him.

Kiffin is not liked by Saban. If he doesn’t want the guy, that’s the end of the story.

I imagine Kiffin also rubbed a lot of people the wrong way on his own. Sometimes assistant coaches can be insufferable pricks.

if the pitchforks go after rhule, we need kiffen or the bama coach if they fail

If he is allowed to cheat he will win. If not no. Of course is there really any reason to cheat anymore? What was considered cheating years ago is now legal.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

Lane put Ole Miss in a position to win a netty last year and they may have if he had stayed and coached the team at the end. Not sure how anyone could atill doubt his coaching chops.

 

[Husker88]

Guy is a complete douche, but he took Ole Piss to the Semis last year.

He has some good dudes around him, and a lot of talent to be dangerous.

He'll make LSU a serious contender maybe even this year.

 

[inthedeed]

he'll flake out for sure. not sure when or how.

Lane is a good coach but a slime as a human. He couldn’t survive Pre NIL because he would have been nailed for cheating if he had his way. . He will do well at LSU unless he wants to buck the system like he is now. At some point LSU will fell the same as others He isn’t worth the squeeze for what you get in return.
