Lane Kiffin goes to LSU and gets even richer

[swede2]

If we were in the same position as Ole Miss (CFP), I would want fleck to finish out the season. As a program I would think you want to maximize the probability of winning the championship in any given year- in this case Kiffin ( and the OC) coaching obviously elevates that probability.

So Ole Miss should let Lane Kiffin use Ole Miss facilities, resources and time while collecting an Ole Miss paycheck to recruit Ole Miss players for the next however many weeks? Many here know I'm an SDSU fan and when Jimmy Rogers and staff left for Wazzu last December what pissed me off the most about the whole deal wasn't so much the leaving, but essentially recruiting a good chunk of the roster and recruiting class using SDSU's facilities, resources and time while collecting a check from SDSU before resigning. There's no way you keep a sleaze like Kiffin in house and above board.

Yep, he is well within his rights to take another job but he was stupid to think that Ole Miss or any of the players would want him to hang around and coach the team in the CFP. Glad the players are calling him on the BS of pretending like they wanted him to stick around. Kind of hope they win it all in spite of him.

Because it's no longer about loyalty, it's about what's best for their career.

Can't most people say this? Loyalty is for fools in today's college football and in today's corporate world. You can be fired or laid off at any time. Kiffin could have a bad year next year, be fired, and not have the LSU job either, see James Franklin.

Kiffin was at Ole Miss for 6 years and they just had their best 6 year run in 60+ years. LSU is a better job, with better resources, in a better city. Kiffin wanted to finish out this season what he has been building for 6 years and people have a problem with this?

Kiffin always continues to reinforce his premiership as the biggest coaching ass in football. Why does anything he does surprise anyone?

Your words, nor mine kiddo.

What’s surprising to me is your apparent inability to comprehend when someone is blowing off some steam/having fun on a free anonymous chat board; thought my hyperbolic comment and illusion to my 40 year old younger self were clues.

Guess not.

This is what you’re going to get from this guy.

Also if I didn’t hope for better, don’t drink before noon on a weekday, kids.

Glad you’re tackling the First Step, Sheriff Joe.
