So the Lane Kiffin-Decent Human Being redemption arc has crashed and burned? Shocked over here.

serious question:
Why is Lane the only coach getting hammered for leaving to go to a better gig?

and also, I don't think there was ever a "he's a decent human being" narrative around him.
more that he just cleaned up some of his off field issues, nit that he morphed into Mother Theresa.

To be fair, I'd take the LSU +$$$ offer, too. The ceiling is much higher in Baton Rouge. Now, can Lane reach that ceiling? We'll see...

That ceiling is what he's chasing.
I don't know if he can reach it either.

I'm ready to see how he fills out the rest of his staff.
I wouldn't Ole Miss would have probably matched and you're set for the next 5 years with a playoff appearence there.
Lane wants to have a National Legacy, not an Oxford, MS legacy.

LSU provides a better opportunity to produce a legacy like that than Ole Miss does.

I asked Google: how many college coaches have been fired on an airport tarmac

Only one college football coach, Lane Kiffin, has become famously known for being fired on an airport tarmac, although the firing actually occurred in an office inside the airport terminal after a 2013 flight. While the incident is widely reported to have happened directly on the tarmac, official accounts confirm the firing took place in an office at LAX after USC's team plane landed.


how many college coaches have had mustard bottles thrown on them

Only one college football coach is widely reported to have had a mustard bottle thrown in his direction during a game: Lane Kiffin.
During the chaotic ending of the Ole Miss vs. Tennessee football game on October 16, 2021, a full bottle of French's mustard was one of many items, which also included a golf ball and a hot dog, thrown onto the field by upset Tennessee fans. The game was delayed for 20 minutes as a result of the debris being thrown.

just wait.
LSU plays in Oxford next year.

sure Tennessee fan still harbored some animosity towards Lane, but it had been over a decade since he missed them off and there was no real

now?!!?

Ole Miss already absolutely despises LSU.
and Lane is coming there in his first season after burning them. As the head coach of a truly hated rival.

Obviously I always want LSU to win National Titles, but now I really want Lane to win one here just to infuriate Ole Miss fans even more.

We took the absolute worst coach in their entire shittastic history of football and won a Natty with him.
Now we just took a guy in the discussion as their best coach ever during their best stretch of football ever, before their best ever season even ends.
If we win a Natty with him too?

Holy Shit Oxford will burn to the ground in that aftermath!
And it will be EPIC.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the Lane saga, and most of this is just what happens when signing day is the week after the regular season ends and LSU need to get the players for next year.

The message below is really the only thing I’d hammer him about. The players worked their ass off and Lane is trying to keep the entire offensive staff from coaching them in the playoffs. I get the Lane wanted to coach the playoffs and the school said no, but his ‘getting back at the school’ with the ultimatum to the coaches is real shitty to the players. He’s showing us right now that it’s all about Lane, not the school, not the players. He wants to leave ole miss as a pile of ashes (which I personally this is hilarious).

It’s alright in fans eyes(well not Ole Miss fans) when coaches leave teams before the season ends, and they don’t have employment windows. But fans would be up in arms if a player stopped playing before the season ended and they need a Portal window… got it
