Things getting ugly at Ole Miss

Lane is morally suspect to say the least. He is self-absorbed. I wouldn't trust him to tell me the correct time. I wouldn't want him back at UT. I don't like him.

However,.....

He knows offensive football. He is a great QB coach. He knows his offensive "X & Os". Great in game manager / scheme adjuster. Design and dial up plays with the best of them. Those are facts and as long as those are facts, he'll keep getting paid huge bucks.

If LSU throws a steamer-trunk of NIL money at him, I suspect LSU will be in the "final four" by 2028 (perhaps 2027).

Birds of a feather....

I'm sure his future recruits and players will be outstanding citizens. I never had a problem with Kiffin at UT until he hired Orgeron - then I realized that he had no scruples. I was glad when he left tbh.

Wasn't that part of the whole package at the time?

Because we have a small minority of fans who think Kiffin is the best thing to happen since sliced bread.

Reality is, he’s not changed nor grew up to a better person. He’s the same man child that left Tennessee high & dry for his “dream” job, which I’m assuming LSU is his “dream” job as well. Hell he’s probably had multiple dream jobs since he’s been alive.

His worshippers refuse to believe it and calls anybody out that sees right through his BS.

Might as well call it a cult.

I wouldn't call it a cult, but I get your point. What saddens me, and it isn't a Kiffin-centric issue is that no one wants to be in the same club anymore as The General/Bear/Saban... They all want to get paid. The aforementioned guys are immortal... legends. Kiffin is just another coach.

I just hope he can afford to eat.

This is all it is anymore:

While I agree with your general sentiment-

Let's look at things from a bit of a different angle shall we-

Bear bolted from KY and left them with a mess
70 years later and they are still a mess

Saban was great coach. Anybody here want to claim he didn't break every rule he could conceivably get away with?

In the year 2025, if the sitting HC at UT took a leave of absence for a military campaign-half the fanbase and population as a whole would support what we are fighting against. There would be cries for him to be fired for crimes against humanity.

I really doubt you are ever going to see a coach stay in the same place for 30-40 years anymore. Down seasons are a fact of life. The inclination these days is to move along at the first sign of trouble.

Look at Mike Gundy. Has been associated with OK St football in some form or fashion continuously since he was 18. Now he's over 50. He's a man. A few down years. Bye.
