Imagine firing a 9 win coach to hire a more expensive 9 win coach

Lane Kiffin to Nebraska, confirmed

Kelly, as much as he's hated, had accomplished more than Kiffin upon hiring

9 wins? Might be a bit generous looking at the games ahead ln their schedule

u/catsfanuk87 Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

That was my thought - they're 4-2 through the soft half of their schedule. Meanwhile, we're 5-1 through the hard part (though your Tigers are looking less and less beatable by the week).

Don’t forget they significantly increased their NIL spend too.

u/thekingsteve UAB Blazers • Auburn Tigers 6d ago

The state of Louisiana isn't particularly know for its education

u/pablitorun Notre Dame • Case Western Reserve 6d ago

At this point I think 9 wins would be a dream

He can just do a Foghorn Leghorn impression like our Governor.

u/screwhead1 LSU Tigers • Arkansas Razorbacks 6d ago

You mean "Guvnah"

u/asbyo Georgia Bulldogs • Tennessee Volunteers 6d ago

More like a 7 win coach to a 7 win coach. At least yall aren’t spending the GDP of a small country to be in the shitter year in and year out like we are.
