Lane Kiffin Faces Mounting Pressure to Deliver at LSU

About this storyline going on now with LSU and Lane Kiffin, I was told that Brian Kelly wasn't a very good coach at LSU. They gave him that enormous payout because they wanted to get a special coach into the building. Well, Brian Kelly, when he was fired, He was 5-3 on the season. Well, guess what? After getting her doorknobs blown out by Alabama 31-13, guess where Lane Kiffin is? He's sitting at 6-3, and look at the remaining games that he still has to play. He's got Texas and Tennessee still on that schedule. This could be two more losses for this dude. The highest paid coach in all of college football is this guy right here. And Lane Kiffin was brought in not to be decent. He was brought in to be exceptional. And so far, that program is not making big plays when they need it. I don't know. I don't know. We just didn't. We had a chance. Like I always tell them, there's usually going to be a chance in the game. It's not usually going to necessarily be the last minute of the game where you can take over a game. For instance, when we took the lead late in the third and got momentum Crowd and, you know, if we stop them there and still let them win on the score, it might be really different, but we didn't lose. Lane, this isn't one of those programs where you can coach at Ole Miss and you can lose three or four games and people in Oxford are going to be cool with you. Hell, they're not cool there with that. You're at LSU, man. That's a football program that's looking to win national championships, not looking to go to the toiletbowl.com. You want to go to a football game that matters. You want to make the 12-team tournament. That's why you were brought to Baton Rouge and Brian Kelly was fired. Tell you, one of the most pressurized jobs in all of college football has to be that LSU job. They're going to give you every single tool it takes for you to go in and win a national championship. You can't just roll in there and be six and three and have people to start chirping at you. And then to turn around and now start to say, well, we don't really have any answers. Now, look, it's one year. I get that. Let's see what happens over the next two seasons here with Lane Kiffin there in Baton Rouge. I've said this before, and I'll say it one more time. I think the hiring of John Sumrall at Florida is going to, at the end of the day, be a better hire than what we see here with Lane Kiffin at LSU. Lane Kiffin is about Lane Kiffin. So when coaches are telling you, I don't know why we can't get it done, that's really a code for them still talking about the players and talking about the roster. You got to win these next two games, Lane. Texas and Tennessee, they're going to be chirping at you for not delivering a victory where you're going to need to get this team going and getting into a great position to maybe get to the 12th tournament.
