Kiffin's Reign at LSU Burns Brighter Than Ever, No Patience Left
Kiffin’s arrival at LSU burned brighter than ever after his departure from Ole Miss. The $54 million deal, combined with a rebuilt roster and a new offensive system, has LSU on track for its first national title run in ten years.
There’s no patience for what LSU and Lane Kiffin have constructed after he lit this fuse with his departure from Ole Miss. Things don’t happen overnight, Kiffin said last week during early spring practice. But the $54 million deal to bring him to Baton Rouge is more than worth it — as evidenced by the impressive roster and now LSU’s first national title run in 10 years.
Kiffin has spent his offseason doing what he does best: taunting anyone who questions his ability. He’s built a program from scratch, assembling one of the most expensive class of transfers ever at $40-50 million on offense alone — and now they’re going to have to make it all work. It’s hard work just to compete for a championship in one of the two best conferences in college football.
LSU has seven new starters, 17 players not having played a down yet, and a rebuilt defense that was overworked last season but still managed to keep them out of losses they should have been winning by margins. But Kiffin’s message is clear: It takes talent, elite quarterback play, rare chemistry and a bunch of luck. LSU has shown they can compete in one of the two best conferences in college football — now it's time for them to bring home a national title.
