LSU hired Lane Kiffin to be the new head coach of LSU Football. Kiffin leaves behind an Ole Miss squad sitting at 11-1 and primed to make their first-ever College Football Playoff.
Kiffin has inked a seven year $91 million contract with a bonus for Ole Miss’s playoff success.
Students on campus have been eager to see who the new football head coach would be and they are excited for Kiffin’s arrival.
Some students say that Kiffin’s hiring marks the start of a rebranding for LSU Football and that LSU’s offense will be revamped with Kiffin.
Students have also mentioned that they have concern with the loyalty of Kiffin stating that Kiffin might leave for a job like Alabama. Others have said that Kiffin made the right choice coming to LSU.
One student said that he likes how Kiffin intends to keep LSU defensive coordinator Blake Baker. The LSU defense has been the brightest spot this past season.
Over the coming days and weeks, Kiffin will continue to fill out his coaching staff. Latest reports have Baker being interviewed for the head coaching job at Tulane.
