But, with the amount of bullshite that has been spewed his way and all the heat he has taken just so he could take over our proud program screams volumes to me. Guy has taken it on the chin left and right and just kept on trucking! It shows how much he really did want this job and how successful he feels he can be here. For 6 weeks he has literally been drug over the coals. I appreciate you taking the heat coach to come and coach the Tigers! You have my respect 
Oh yeah…media and OM? You can all get frickkked!

Same here. His energy is off the charts awesome and was needed in the worst way.

I can second this he’s been one of my least favorite people in college football the last few years. But the things I hated are what makes him a great coach. And now he’s our great coach so I’m here for the ride.
Definitely going to be the villain for the foreseeable future but that sounds pretty good to me!

ABSOLUTELY!
He WAS a spoiled brat who was given jobs he didn't deserve early on!
That is not uncommon, however what is rare is that he humbled himself, went to work for and learn from the best there was, grew up along the way, and worked/earned his way to where he is now!
I hated him prior to FAU but have grown to respect and even like him now!

Amen Brother!

Well, we'll see how happy you'll all be when he screws us over like Tennessee and Ole Miss. And he will.

Serious question, because I’ve always liked him.

same here. and ironically, the LK documentary that OM fans screamed "Go watch this, he loves Oxford, he's grown and matured and not going anywhere, he brought his ex wife to Oxford, his son is in high school in oxford, good luck tigers he aint going nowhere".
i ended up watching that doc and it showed me a lot about him, that he grew as a man, as a father, as a ex husband and as a coach. but nothing in there said "i'm tied to OM or oxford". and now they want to remove everything he's accomplished. i get it, big mad over there, but i'm glad they encouraged me to watch the doc on our now matured, changed, laser focused coach.

I never liked all the social media nonsense, still don’t. He SEEMS to have toned that down a bit, but that could have been out of respect for his former team. We will see if it stays that way now that they’re done.
I also feel like he and his teams sleepwalk a bit after big wins, and that ties into the social media because he usually spends a few days trolling the team he beat.
All that said, he’s absolutely one of the top offensive minds in all of football. I also believe he’s one of the best talent evaluators, and he’s proven he can build a national title contending roster and program.
So let’s fricking Geaux

I said it when Coach O was fired that LK was the only guy to hire. My reasoning was that I absolutely hated playing the guy because he was going to score points, no matter how good your defense was. It didn’t matter where he was coaching, whether HC or OC, the guy knows how to attack your defense and score points. The only thing that held him back at Bama were injuries to his QB and Burrow and crew. The only thing that held him back at Ole Miss was talent level, but he did close that gap and get every ounce of juice out of what he had.
To win in today’s NIL world, you can’t load your roster with all 5 star guys that don’t want to reach their peak level. You need 5 star guys, leaders and guys that are hungry. You want to make more guys famous at LSU than bring in to many famous ones. To many egos will ruin a locker room. The NFL draft shows how much talent is at schools we’ve never heard of and Kiffin and Cignetti are really good at evaluating and finding that talent.
Oh and the most important thing:
KIFFIN KNOWS WHO HE IS AND WHAT HE IS LOOKING FOR. No more CEO’s adapting to every coordinator they hire and making square pegs to fit round holes bc we “needed” this guy because he’s a 4 star from Louisiana. It’s crucial you know who you are and what you’re looking for in order to be successful.

This all started because lunatic Al Davis conned him into leaving SC to become THE YOUNGEST HEAD COACH IN THE NFL HISTORY!!! trying to capitalize on the SouthernCal magic and recreate his glory days in LA, and then immediately taking all power away from him and forcing Jamarcus on him with the #1 pick even though Lane was opposed to drafting him.
He then refused to bring in Monte as his DC, and after a year and four games he fired him and set the media against him to cover up for another in a long line of blunders for that franchise that started after trading Gruden away and has continued to this day. Yet the braindead and conwardly sports media carried his water and made Lane the scapegoat.
This was all compounded when Lane left UT to go back to SC, the place he never would have left had Davis not conned him, after only one season. That is to this day the only time Lane “job hopped”, yet the media continues this absurd narrative.
He then caught another bad break when the NCAA handed down generational penalties before he even made it to fall camp, almost immediately making expectations there completely unrealistic. Fast forward to another lunatic and proven fraud in Pat Hayden making him a scapegoat again, with an assist from his “best friend” in O, and leaving him on the tarmac, a completely unprofessional and unhinged move that once again the media tried to paint as somehow Lane’s doing due to his “history”, and the rest is history.
Kiffin has been a model of professionalism in his career since that fiasco in 2013, yet he is still painted as some kind of mercenary. Despite massive success for three years at Alabama when he could have left for other jobs at any point, then three more years of great success at FAU, again despite chances to leave every year, then SIX years of loyalty and success in Oxford, again with multiple chances to leave year after year.
Now yes, his personal life fell into disarray after the tumultuous professional years from 07-13, and it isn’t hard to see why. But he never let those struggles impact what he was building with his teams.
And now that he finally has his personal life back in order, he is set up at a place professionally where he can build the type of legacy that he helped Carroll buildat SC, that he elevated with Saban at Alabama, and that his dad built in Tampa after decades of moving around the NFL.
It’s unfortunate that the pathetic and bitter Ole Miss athletic director, already forgot his name, as will the rest of the country outside of Oxford, refused to allow him to finish the season with the team he built. Ole Miss wins that game last night with Kiffin on the sideline, and is just one win away from hanging a real championship banner next to their 2003 tribute in Vaught-Hemingway.
I can’t wait to watch this all play out in Baton Rouge, it truly is going to be the Golden Era of LSU football.

Good point… I have some family that went to Ole Miss and they said the exact same thing about the documentary. I watched it and told them that I came away with a different perspective. That I thought he would probably want to move on to his next challenge soon enough after all this growth. they will vilify him for eternity, if the Tommy Tubberville Saga is any example of how they will respond in the future, they are never going to get over this.

I think we need to thank the media and Ole Miss for all the shite that they have done over the last six weeks. If anything it just cemented him here even longer into the future. He has to be really pissed off and ready to prove he ain’t no hoe lol.
Posted on 1/9/26 at 7:49 am to geauxcoco
He’s worked more in the past 2 weeks than BK did the last year. It’s great to see we finally got a coach putting the work in to make it happen! The future is bright!

I’m glad that I don’t have to hear the media all this week about how Pete Golding Was the next Nick Saban…they put this guy up on a pedestal when he did nothing but babysat an already Kiffin groomed college football team…
