00:00But of course, Lane Kiffin decides to do what Lane Kiffin does.

00:03You know, when a certain Motown group about 80 years ago wrote the song Papa Was a Rolling Stone,

00:10how would they have known it would have been the theme song for Lane Kiffin?

00:14But that's what he is.

00:15So let's first off agree that no one should be surprised that Lane Kiffin found a shiny object in the corner

00:22that all of a sudden got his attention and decided to go for it.

00:26That's what Lane Kiffin does.

00:28He doesn't hang around all that much.

00:30Matter of fact, six years in Mississippi is the longest he's been anywhere at any time of his adult life.

00:39Matter of fact, you see him right there getting on a plane.

00:41You got a handful of lunatic fans from Ole Miss cursing him out as he gets on the plane to go down or up,

00:48wherever the heck it is, to LSU to become their new head coach.

00:53It's down.

00:53I can't figure that part out.

00:54Is Mississippi high north or south?

00:56I don't know.

00:57It's north of it.

00:57Two places I'll probably never be.

00:59I can tell you that.

01:00They're not fans of my people, as you might know.

01:03In either one of those states, and I'm not talking about white people.

01:08But look, listen.

01:09You know, when someone offers you 90-plus million dollars, and that's what the deal is, I think it's 91 million bucks,

01:17and there's incentives to get over 100 based on national championships and that type of stuff,

01:22and they've got the greatest facilities in college football, and they want to write huge checks to a lot of guys to come play,

01:29it's hard to say no to that when you're in the middle of the greatest season the college you're at has ever had, Ole Miss,

01:37and that's just another decent year for LSU.

01:40Expectation is a part of this also.

01:42But the thing that gets me the most about this whole Lane Kiffin nonsense is the fact that there are people out there,

01:49I've heard them, you've heard them on TV, on the radio, online, et cetera, that think that Ole Miss in some way, shape, or form has wronged him

01:57by not allowing him to coach Ole Miss throughout the tournament.

02:03And to me, that couldn't be farther from the truth.

02:08Ole Miss has no responsibility to let a Benedict Arnold turncoat continue to coach because it's good for him.

02:16That's not good for them.

02:17It's not good for the kids that he has now turned his back on.

02:21It's not good for the assistant coaches that he's now left in the lurch as he goes on to greener pastures

02:27and a lot more money to go coach at LSU.

02:30So if you have any self-respect at all, and clearly, and I give them credit, Ole Miss does,

02:36if you've decided that we're no longer the right place for you, it doesn't matter the reason.

02:43Goodbye.

02:44Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

02:47You will not have the benefit of coaching our boys, our team, with our other assistant coaches

02:54if your heart is somewhere else.

02:57So the fact that there are people out there suggesting, and I saw the interview Lane did,

03:01I forget the reporter's name, like at the private jet terminal before I got on the plane to go to LSU.

03:06I think that was Marty Smith.

03:07Okay, who did a great job, by the way, getting that interview and all that,

03:11and I give him a lot of credit for it.

03:12Lane Kiffin tried his hardest to show respect for Ole Miss.

03:16He failed miserably.

03:17Lane Kiffin tried his hardest to say that he understands the decision.

03:21He failed miserably.

03:22Lane Kiffin wanted his cake and he wanted to eat it too.

03:25That's what he has always done.

03:29And the fascinating thing about Lane Kiffin is that after he went to Alabama,

03:34made a couple million dollars a year being their offensive coordinator,

03:37and kind of rebuilt his reputation nationwide under the auspices of the greatest college coach of our lifetimes,

03:47for sure in Alabama,

03:48you might have thought that he would have grown up.

03:52You might have thought that he would have matured.

03:54You might have thought that he would have recognized,

03:57hey, the way things ended in Tennessee wasn't really cool.

04:00Hey, leaving FAU after two years to go back to major college football maybe wasn't great.

04:06Hey, my failure with the Raiders maybe wasn't great.

04:09USC.

04:10Maybe wasn't great.

04:12And on and on and on.

04:13But yet here we are.

04:15You know, a guy about 50 years old, just shy of 50 years old,

04:18and he cannot change who he is at the core of who he is.

04:23And I'm not quite sure why we expected him to.

04:26This is what this guy does.

04:28This guy does.

04:29This guy does not want to us at the core of that.

04:30He hasn't guaranteed him to.

04:32But let's say it does not want to try.

04:32He isn't supposed to.

04:33This guy is trying to get a car.

04:34He does not want to play.

04:35He does not want to play.

04:36He does not want to play.

04:37He can do it.

04:38So there he is.

04:40He does not want to play all of a game.

04:41He does not want to play.

04:42He does not want to play with this.

04:43You know, it doesn't want to play.

04:44That's your own good person.

04:45He doesn't want to play.

04:47He does not do all of a CG launcholi.

04:48So there's no way is called.

04:51Here's going to listen to his own S верing
