Meh, it’s more likely that one of them just has a hot mom or sister.
We now know why Lane Kiffin is so determined to add former NFL players to LSU's roster and it's not the reason we were led to believe

We now know why Lane Kiffin is so determined to add former NFL players to LSU’s roster and it’s not the reason we were led to believe
LSU head coach Lane Kiffin has created plenty of headlines over the last few weeks in Baton Rouge.
Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers have made headlines over the last week for their attempts to add former NFL players to the roster.
The assumption from many has been that Kiffin felt LSU needed more talent to compete for a College Football Playoff spot this season.
That assumption is wrong.
This isn’t about LSU’s roster being insufficient. Kiffin went into the summer believing his $50 million roster was good enough to compete. And sure, he probably thinks these former NFL players can make LSU even better, but this isn’t a situation where he believes the Tigers have to have former NFL talent in order to truly contend. This is about something much simpler: Kiffin trying to prove he can do something the SEC is telling him he can’t.
Lane Kiffin has always been driven by defiance
People close to Kiffin have pointed out that he is driven by this kind of thing. When someone tells him he can’t do it, it makes him want to do it even more, regardless of whether it’s worth it.
“Those who know Kiffin best swear he wouldn’t want it any other way,” wrote On3’s Chris Low this week. “The more he’s told he can’t do something, the more hell-bent he is on doing it, even when the risk doesn’t seem to be worth the reward.”
“He’s one of the best coaches in the game, and for some reason, that’s not good enough for him. He lets things drive him sometimes that shouldn’t drive him,” added somebody who’s known Kiffin for decades to Low.
It’s not just those around Kiffin saying this. Kiffin himself told reporters earlier this year, while discussing his trip to Knoxville to woo quarterback Sam Leavitt to LSU instead of Tennessee, that he doesn’t do well with being told no.
“I don’t know. I just know how I do things,” said Kiffin. “There’s a good and bad to it. I’m extremely competitive, and I don’t really do well with no — that just makes me more competitive when someone says no. So sometimes that happens in recruiting, they say no. But I think that’s my job. That’s my job to LSU.”
