Kiffin’s Villain Role Ignites Debate | LSU Tigers Football News

Lane Kiffin’s bold move to recruit former NFL stars Zxavian Harris and Dae’Quan Wright sparked a SEC lawsuit and penalties, forcing LSU to back down — but instead of apologizing, the Tigers are embracing their villain status. Former LSU star Justin Jefferson, now with the Vikings, says he’s not bothered by the drama and even thinks it’s helped LSU’s identity. With a history of controversy from his coaching stints at Ole Miss, USC, Alabama, and beyond, Kiffin’s got a knack for headlines — but he’s also assembled the top transfer class in the country. Already scoring 50 points in their first showcase, LSU’s chemistry is clicking, and Jefferson believes they’re only getting better. The SEC may be mad, but on the field? Kiffin’s building something special in Baton Rouge. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
