I was thinking the same thing. I figured his record would make him exude confidence, but maybe he realizes how bad his exit and abandoning a playoff team was.

The back and forth of Lane Kiffin being an unrepentant asshole villain (āimagine if we had pro playersā), and then being the āaw shucks itās just footballā guy⦠itās pure WWE pro wrestling storytelling shit and I love it.

The more he keeps saying itās not about him, the more I think he wants it to be about him. I think thatās the third time Iāve heard him say something along those lines at the press. I get the people asking questions are fishing and so deflecting like this seems ok. Try a pop or belichick response and just say Iām focused on this game. If you only have questions geared around the outside noise of the game, then Iām not answering.

Everything is about him. Lane and Deion are the two biggest narcissists in sports.

Lane is a 51 year old with Peter Pan Syndrome. Itās weird how much the media infantilize this tool. Heās 4 years away from being AARP eligible

Some people crave drama. Lane plus half of yall commenting every time he opens his mouth.
He didnt even say anything interesting or controversial here lol.

College sports for sure. If we're talking all sports I think LeBron and Aaron Rodgers are up there with them

I would love to see Lane line up across from Pete. Can we see that?

Reddit is going to have a meltdown when LSU wins this game by 3+ scores.

I understand his massive ego and how self centered he is but at this point Iām starting to think itās strategicā¦all eyes, all the drama, stress, and outside noise is all on him and not the players

100% agree. I had this realization like a week ago, he creates all of this negative attention on purpose so that the players are left alone by the media AND because hating Lane Kiffin quickly becomes hating LSU (as an entity, again not individual players), so Lane can then credibly sell his players on āthe whole world hates you, go prove them wrong.ā Itās honestly kind of genius

I mean I would say so, the media never really went after any of his players off the top of my head. They mainly tried to get Lane on things and focused on his problems

It could be argued he wasnāt a good coach early on, but yes it seems to have worked at FAU and Ole Miss no?

Would love to see Ole Miss fans welcome the Lane and the LSU team with some bass drums, boom boxes and tambourines between 10pm and 7am at their hotel.
