LSU Tigers (official thread)


ADAPT OR DIE. What is it Ryan Day said about the dinosaurs this week? Adapt or die? It looks like Lane Kiffin has learned that lesson entering the 2026 college football season.

Entering 2026, Kiffin reportedly sold the Tigers’ athletic department and boosters on a $40 million roster, even though the school initially planned to spend between $25 million and $30 million.



What’s hilarious about this development is that Kiffin once trolled Ohio State for reportedly spending $13 million to field its roster entering its national championship season in 2024.

:lol:

Based on his general hypocrisy and Teflon levels, Lane will probably be the POTUS one day.

we probably will do one sometime in the break between spring and fall practice.
Looking forward to it!

I’ve been fiending for a football fix so bad lately that I’ve been listening to Moscona

@Nutriaitch we need an early Gameday Tigers football pre-season podcast. Baseball is killing me this year and I'm ready to hear you talk about football.

yeah, I've never been that desperate for anything.
It was a first for me too. I'm just so hyped about the LK era.
Sheesh. Get a room, you two.

Brian Kelly Couldn't Win a Title at LSU—Why He Thinks Lane Kiffin Will

The ex-Tigers coach assessed his successor in a Wednesday interview.

On Wednesday, Kelly—currently unemployed—sat down virtually with John Brice and Blake Toppmeyer of USA Today. During that conversation, he offered interesting thoughts on his LSU successor—well-traveled former Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin.

Kelly thinks Kiffin can do what he could not—lead LSU to a national championship

“I think so,” Kelly said when asked whether Kiffin will win a national championship with the Tigers. “Here’s why I’d say yes. I think that they have invested in NIL for him. I think they have given him the opportunity.”

Kiffin has already started to do damage on that front, nailing down (per 247Sports’s rankings) the highest-rated transfer portal class in the nation. Though it’s early, he’s making strides in 2027 recruiting as well, convincing five-star tight end Ahmad Hudson of Ruston, La., to stay in his home state on Sunday.

“There’s a lot of good things moving in that direction. The recruiting classes, they’re really in solid shape,” Kelly said. “Lane’s a really smart football coach. I think it’s in a really good place, and I believe that because there’s been an investment in that NIL, he’s going to be able to be Lane Kiffin.... he’s not going to take the 18-year-old kid and develop him all the way through the ranks, and that’s fine.”

Re: Kelly said. “Lane’s a really smart football coach....he’s not going to take the 18-year-old kid and develop him all the way through the ranks, and that’s fine.”

Just sayin': OK, why didn't Kelly just try to do what Kiffin is doing?. Apparently Kelly is conceding that Kiffin is just a smarter football coach ....:lol:
