Kiffin and CFP 2026...

Post by JackBolly »

...by all accounts is already LSU's HC, and that happened at least 2 weeks ago. When your family is spotted house shopping, its done. The circus and drama of the last few weeks, much of it media driven, was simply Kiffin buying time to poach what he wanted from Ole Miss in staff and players. Folks take note - LSU has bet the ranch on Kiffin. If it doen't work out, LSU may need to declare BK - all their big donors are heavily leveraged in. How many chicken sandwiches will it take just to pay off Kelly, who at 64 has as big a chance as Patrino to get a HC job.

It's difficult to understand you with that hook in your mouth.

Don't feel bad for Ole Miss - they knew what the baggage was when they pulled Kiffen from FIU. I am surprised how Ole Miss let Kiffen and his agent play them. Pretty obvious that the leaked bid by LSU was more than a 'strong a-z z offer". Just a question of how many coaches, staff, and players Kiffen poached in the last few weeks.

45s, that is exactly what I was thinking too. That is where he wants to eventually be and I don't think he will stop until he gets there, regardless of any success at LSU.

Full disclosure…I have a connection to Oxford

When they hired Kiffin…the program was in a free fall….

There was the Hugh freeze controversy…followed by poor coaches..

ncaa sanctions….recruiting was poor….tickets and donations were down…

They desperately needed some buzz……so they took a chance…..and it was successful

Where I think the administration stuck their head in the sand was when he almost walked to auburn two years ago…..they should have seen this coming and not let this drag on so long…

Kiffin is all about Kiffin….as LSU will soon find out…

by the way….he came from FAU

Florida wisely pulled out about 2 weeks ago.
