Rece Davis sums it up pretty well here. Lane Kiffin abandoned Ole Miss and his playoff team. Sure, the calendar and rules are screwed up in college football, and anyone who is coaching a playoff team would have to abandon them if they want a “better” job. But that’s still a choice, and that’s exactly what Kiffin is doing here.
Along the way he also decided to basically gaslight Ole Miss and their fans. This notion that he could stay there and coach the team while also preparing to build a roster for their rival in the SEC is just absurd. And then he tried to lay blame on them for not letting him coach the team.
Finally, Kiffin kept referencing prayer and “God” as he made this decision. There are few things more ridiculous than using your perception of God as a justification for a selfish act. It’s pathetic.
Kiffin is a good coach, and LSU will be fun with him there. Let’s see if he’s good enough to actually win a National Championship, or if he’ll crash and burn there as well. Most people will be rooting against this cocky, self-absorbed hypocrite. But that’s sports.
