from SEC Football Unfiltered · host SEC Football Unfiltered
If you’d formed a list of candidates LSU should pursue after it fired Brian Kelly, it might have looked like this: 1. Lane Kiffin 2. Revert to option 1 and get it done. LSU got it done. Lane has landed in Baton Rouge. Now, what does it all mean? For Kiffin, leaving Ole Miss on the doorstep of the playoff marks a sharp pivot in his redemption story and revives his renegade past. At LSU, he'll enjoy every advantage to win a national championship. Ole Miss opted for stability in a moment of turmoil and promoted coordinator Pete Golding to coach. How will the transition affect the Rebels in the playoff? On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams grade the hire for LSU and weigh in on whether Ole Miss made the right call in not allowing Kiffin to coach the playoff.
