Not sure if LSU is the place you go if you’re looking for fewer issues but here we are. Was not expecting this…
FC/OT: Kiffin implies historical racism part of his motivation in leaving Ole Miss…
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
It’s nice to hear that “it feels like there’s no segregation” at lsu in 2026. Who knew?
He'll either be fired or will leave on his own accord from LSU in three to four seasons. I base my statement on his track record at every school where he's coached and even his tenure with the Raiders.
job
Reminds me of justin fields saying that he left uga due to racism. They don’t have racism in ohio.
Why is it so hard for people to tell the truth nowadays??
"LSU offered me a lot more money and they're also willing to shell out more cash to bring in the best players. I've also been told I can cut loose any player who I feel can no longer contribute to the success of the football team. And rumor has it the coeds in Baton Rouge are willing to put out for the coaches. The gals in Oxford can be a bit prudish."

everything is wrong with college football
And yet there were people on this board just a few months ago saying they would love to have Kiffin as the next HC of PSU after Franklin.
In effect, yeah. But you can’t preclude the possibility that Kiffin actually believes what he said.
True--it's possible though I'm not buying it. This screams performative
I don’t understand the outrage. I’m wouldn’t be cool if my cul de sac (28 homes) flew the confederate flag. We looked in North East MD and we saw random confederate flags on front stoops. Hard pass. Culture is real, locations favor different ones. Live where the culture suits you.
Fair but let's not pretend Louisiana isn't in the deep south
Well said. I have to think that a whole lot of the yelling is due to the fact that it’s Lane Kiffin driving the story. Kiffin is, I guess, the #1 despised coach in college football. I myself have never taken Kiffin seriously outside the coaching part.
Yes, I am not sure why some have an issue with what Kiffin said. And I admit I read only what was linked, not the entire story. He just said the history of racism in the state of Mississippi hurt his ability to recruit. That doesn't reaIly seem controversial.
It's not the comment--it's the insincerity of the comment
He knew the history of the state before he accepted the job. He stayed there for 6 seasons despite the alleged issues. Is it easier to recruit at LSU because they have less Confederate flags (maybe) or is it because of the money he can spend?
Kiffin only made the comments as a recruiting tactic--period.
Period. JFC…stop defending the indefensible. It’s preposterous.
The real question that needs to be answered, "After Charlottesville, which state ordered the most confederate flags?"
The real answer is, more Confederate flags were sold in Pennsylvania afterwards than any other state in our country. So don't y'all
Get all pious on me.

******* Pennsyltucky morons forgetting their heritage.
Should have allowed Sherman to really bury that Confederate **** for good in 1865.
Anyone familiar with Rising Sun ? As a teen , me and some friends heard there was a particular sign as you entered city limits. We couldn't believe it existed . We drove down there and saw it. Some of the most hardcore Civil War sentiment was at the Mason Dixon line. Pennsyltucky is very close by . One thing about the internet and expose knowledge is that all kinds of dysfunctional **** is coming out about 'murica . Maybe that's good .
Exactly. He claims Ole Miss is racist yet Baton Rouge is this panacea of no racism nor hints of the redneck, Confederate flying South. What??
10,000 black on black murders a year. 0 lynchings last year. Who is dysfunctional?
Oh gawd, Midnighter. LOL.
Virtually every time Kiffin makes a public statement, I'm reminded of Lincoln's observation that "It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
If he thinks that Ole Miss is a problem he'd better hope his recruits don't learn the history behind how the LSU "tigers" name came to be.
You have these mongrels who come here, especially from awsp who believe Kiffins BS.
