Will go down in history as the first true Lane Kiffin move of the era here. That’s not something any former LSU coach pulls… that’s not something any of them has the cache to do in Tennessee.

Welcome to the new age. Flashy and in your face and arrogant and yet, a killer

I’m starting to change my view of Kiffin. Still gotta win games but we have upgraded our QB room significantly.

Just his pure hustle compared to BK is something to look forward to.

He has a chip on his shoulder with the hate from the media. Wants to prove this was the right move for him, and intends to win BIG

What was your view? Dude is a hustler and worker. A troll yes, but the guy's work ethic is unmatched.

BK would not have even know Leavitt's name

And that is barely an exaggeration

He’s done exactly what he hired him for. He should have been hired over BK.

LSU is about to go on a Saban like run. We have the money the coach and the alignment to do it in this modern era perhaps like nobody else in the country. I’m talking sustained success. Not flashes in the pan

Yes BK would have said the QB needed to make an appointment to see him.

He did learn to recruit from Ed O early in his career. For all his faults, this is absolutely a move Ed O would have pulled.

It’s exactly what Orgeron would do. Hell, he basically did it:

LSU COACH ED ORGERON SHOWS UP AT RECRUIT'S HOUSE AT 5 A.M. TO CATCH HIM BEFORE FLIGHT

I mean Coach O, when he was at USC, tried to get Adrian Peterson's incarcerated dad to move jails so he could watch Adrian. I think Coach O could have pulled off flying to an airport in another city

If you're referring to BK, then yeah you're right

That’s the kind of stuff Saban did. He’d win a natty one night then the following night he’d be in his rivals backyard recruiting the next 5 star to come and be his third stringer on the next year’s roster.

He's the polar opposite to BK. Grinding on teens day 1 in recruiting for BK was cringe. Then beyond that he couldn't tell you the name of the recruit or give them the time of day. Lane eat, sleeps, and just lives football. If it takes going to snag a recruit on someone else's campus he will do it. Might seem cringe but at least he's not the lazy arse the last coach was.

It tells me Lane is serious and driven. He's as thirsty as we are for a NC. That's my coach!
