A close friend of mine — whose parents are significant donors and who’s usually well-informed about LSU’s behind-the-scenes matters — told me that LSU is hiring Lane Kiffin.

Texas at LSU next year. 👀

Fireworks!

Man, that trip is going to be unbelievable if that's the hire.

Good, he’ll take them to the edge of success then push them off the cliff. 

Explosive offensive, incompetent defense and no playoff appearances incoming if that’s their hire. 

I am currently putting my trash out.  Sark to Old Mississippi.

It's going to be unbelievable anyway. 

Anyone taking the circus LSU  job would foolish and doom to fail.

If mediocre coaches like Les Miles and Ed Ogeron can win national championships there then how do you rationalize "doom(ed) to fail"?

Current idiotic Governor BS, which wasn’t around when Miles Orgeron were coaches

Wild.  A close friend of mine whose parents are major Florida boosters told me that they are hiring Lane.

He’s the perfect disfunction for LSU.

the way its supposed to work is that the AD is supposed to know what he can do, as guided pre-deal by a few donors, and then he and the president and the general council get it done.   The donors are not supposed to know anything once the rules are set. 

 

Also, the governor said that the state was paying the buyout.  Not sure why they would consult a donor.  

 

Anyone that has ever actually done a big deal knows that you need to have a tight circle.  

 

I have no idea if you are right.  But, as a person who has done deals for 30 years, I know how to do one.  And this is not how.  

Also, LSU is saying that they wont pay a buyout.  Basically the only two material terms in the contract are the income and the buyout.  So, LSU is simultaneously saying that they will pay Kiffin’s buyout but not the other one….?  

 

 

Wild if true 

It makes no sense to me that he would leave Ole Miss for LSU.  1) Two of his kids are in school in Oxford (one at Ole Miss and one in high school), 2) His ex-wife just moved to Oxford and they have reconciled and gotten back together, 3) He's in the middle of the best season of his head coaching career and people think he's going to walk away with a national title possible, 4) Is LSU even a better job than Ole Miss in NIL day?

I want him to go to Florida.

Can you tell your friends parents that LSU should significantly lower Richard Anderson’s NIL so he goes to Texas, please and thank you🤣 

This really throws my basement yarn map off. All the evidence was lining up for a backroom Sexton master plan for Sark to go to a NFL team with a bum owner and then hand over the program to Lane as a hand picked successor. After Lane poaches PK, it can only mean Saban is being hired as DC/HC in waiting.

Of course, they have to buy Lane and offense!!

Is your close friend the governor of Louisiana by any chance? If so I’ll believe it 100%

hLol no… but he did tell me the morning of Kelly’s firing that it was happening, so I usually trust what he says.

I honestly think he's going to stay at Ole Miss. 

Was just told Kiffin's son has enrolled University High school in Baton Rouge. So it sure seems like it's happening.

I get this feeling too. I know he can make rash decisions, but he just seems to be really settled in Oxford.  I guess we will see.  Also, I have an easier time seeing him at Florida than at LSU.  Is he really a fit there? I mean he'd be better than Brian Kelly, but Florida just seems like the perfect fit if he were to leave Ole Miss.
