Why is everyone about Lane Kiffin?

[SoonerBillsFan]

He has never won a national championship as a HC and seems to move teams every 3 years or so.

Maybe he wears out his welcome?  There's a lot of schlubs in the corporate world who come in riding accolades; after a couple of years the corporations can't wait to buy them out.  Then there's usually two or three other megacorps just dying to throw money at them. 🤨

It must be because the guy has never won a national championship as a HC.

Most coaches haven’t won a Championship.  Only 4 active coaches have a championship; Smart (2), Sweeney (2), Mack Brown and Ryan Day.  Brown won his 20 years ago.  That’s a pretty short list.  He did win championships as a OC at Bama.

 

He’s in demand because he wins wherever he goes.  He turned Ole Miss into a consistent winner, something they have never gone.  Frankly, I think he is a jerk but so are most coaches.

I get it, but all this hoopla is BS

I can’t figure it out either. Dude has never won anything.

Refs are paid by Texas.  We lose they get in

The media grist mill needs something to chew on.  If Kiffin goes to LSU he’s a idiot.  They chew up coaches faster than just about anyone “top’ program other than Auburn or Florida.  He can win at Ole Miss with huge job security.

It's easier to recruit at LSU though, that's the attraction behind it. It's kind of like why John Calipari said he left Memphis for Kentucky...basically that he could have kept winning at that level in Memphis but that it would cost him a lot more of his time.

Different time.  The portal and NIL have changed how things work. Cignetti turned my alma mater IU into a winner, Kiffin can do the same at Ole Miss with a little financial help from boosters.

He's a guy who makes bad decisions because of his ego. While I think he's a half decent coach, he's a manchild emorionally.. He's never outgrown his desire to be pursued. 

 

He had a great thing at Tennessee. He has a great thing at Ole Miss.

Job security doesn't appear to be something he's been concerned about the past 15 years.
