Lane Kiffin (HC LSU)

Lane Kiffin's pursuit of ex-NFL TE Dae'Quan Wright is latest example of LSU coach not caring what you think​

Wright became the NFL's first active player to enter college football's transfer portal last week​

Lane Kiffin does not care about pearl-clutching from media members or fellow coaches. His job at LSU is to acquire talent, win football games and hunt championships, and his pursuit of Cleveland Browns tight end and former Ole Miss standout Dae'Quan Wright is another reminder that few coaches navigate college football's lawless landscape better.

Call him shameless.

Call him calculated.

Call him a filthy recruiter.

Kiffin will probably retweet the criticism and keep working.

Wright's decision to enter the transfer portal after reaching the NFL would have sounded absurd not long ago. Now, amid courtroom victories, temporary restraining orders and eligibility rulings that continue to erase the sport's old boundaries, it represents another opportunity.

Kiffin is not responsible for cleaning up the NCAA's mess. He is responsible for building LSU's roster, and if the rules — or a judge — allow him to pursue an NFL player, he likely sees it as negligent not to make the call.

That is the uncomfortable truth for Kiffin's critics. He is not breaking the system. He is reading it faster than everyone else.

The original tittie queen

I always thought her two best attributes were her personality and business smarts. Just seemed like a genuinely sweet human being who found a way to be ultra successful. I was never really into her music.

Finding a way to use the epic cans without being slutty made her pretty unique.

SEC (It just means more.. even its losses are wins)

Come to the big ten, where your spot you earned all off-season, only exists if an NFL reject doesn't want a golden parachute in August. Oh, and you probably can't play college football anywhere else after the surprise

This. To add to it- which league was infamous for roster management back in the scholarship era? Which league went first and guaranteed the kids all 4 years ?

I don't often get hung up on the gray area of morality but there is a right way to treat the players and there is the way the SEC does it (and apparently Cignetti would like to-sleazy uncle vibe giving off motherfucker that he is).

BP Fantasy Baseball est. 2008 (Current Champion = heisman)

You had a ridiculous weekend and closed the score from 9-3 to 5-5 with the only have going Mil-Atl. Iglesias got a 4 Out save in the last game to break the tie 7-6 in Saves and the week 6-5. So, very last pitch of the last game.

I felt no disturbance in the Force.

I wasn't even paying attention. What happened?

I'm not sure I love this play. "Come to the Big Ten, where once you leave, you won't have a chance to return."
So you prefer:

Desperation has its consequences. Lane is desperate. Ryan is not. Which is why one of them keeps doing it, and the other hates it but was going to evaluate it.

Big Ten is voting to not allow NFL players to return to their member teams.

SEC, your play.


Cignetti voted no.
He can't wait to bring back a 27 year old NFL player for a 5th season

QB1 Julian Sayin (All B1G, B1G Frosh of Year, All American, National Frosh of Year, National Champion)

Wonder who is going to win the Manning Award?
It includes the postseason games, so after Heisman finalist CJ Stroud threw for 573 yards and 6 TDs in the Rose Bowl, and Bryce Young threw for 1 TD and 2 picks in the loss to UGA, they gave it to …

Bryce Young.

So yeah, don’t hold your breath for that award.
