LSU Tigers (official thread)

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:

Just sayin': Apparently they have been around for a few years now.

LSU experimenting with air-conditioned football helmets​

September 4, 2020

The systems are on sale on the Tigeraire website.

There’s a youth and high school model available called Lil Breezy that sells for $95 and ships in November. It includes one custom blower assembly, a micro air register, clear flexible tubing and a rechargeable Lithium ion battery.

The college and pro model named The Cyclone has twice the power of Lil Breezy. It is only available for college and professional teams.

How does airflow help me stay cool?​

By facilitating the evaporation of sweat on the scalp and forehead, targeted airflow helps cool the head and, by extension, the entire body. In fact, allowing the head to shed heat effectively can make the difference between safety and a dangerous, even deadly, situation. When you wear a Tigeraire Air Accelerator® product, your head's perspiration is continually evaporated and your head stays cool. The cooled blood flow then circulates down through the rest of your body, increasing comfort even in the hottest weather.

Air-conditioned football helmets use small battery-powered fans and flexible tubes to pull cooling air inside and push it across the player's face. Pioneer systems by companies like Tigeraire gained attention when college programs like LSU tested and adopted them for hot-weather practices.
How the Cooling System Works
    • Small Fans: Tiny, battery-run units mount near the back vents of the helmet to pull outside air inward.
    • Flexible Tubes: Adjustable channels route the airflow forward and downward toward the forehead, nose, or visor.
    • Battery Life: Power packs typically last up to 5 hours on a single charge, designed to withstand standard on-field impacts.
