00:00with Lane Kiffin inevitably deciding to leave Mississippi to take the job at LSU for a heck

00:07of a lot more money. Definitely went into it a little bit with the media yesterday,

00:11so we finally realized some of the decision-making process, which seems to be a very polarizing

00:17topic right now, Bill, in college football. I'm wondering your opinion on this. Do you think

00:21that Kiffin handled himself in the right way? A lot of people say yes, some people say no.

00:27Did he do the right thing here, leaving Mississippi for LSU, a place where, of course, they fire their

00:32head coach for four years? What do you make of this entire situation? Well, I see both sides,

00:38and I'm trying to be political about it. Now, if Lane Kiffin wants to go to LSU, who are we to tell

00:44him what to do with his life, right? I mean, it is a great opportunity. Three coaches have won national

00:50titles there this century. The only other school that's done that is Ohio State. He'll have

00:56a ton of resources, recruiting ability, and a better shot, honestly, to win a national title

01:02at LSU than he would at Ole Miss. Is the way he left, Lane Kiffin, circus style, what we come

01:08to expect? Yes. Does it hurt the players in that locker room? Absolutely. Ole Miss had a magical

01:14season. I understand all that, but in an era where players can go in and out of the portal during the

01:20playoff, coaches can too. This is part of the ugly business. I get that. I mean, Greg, I think you

01:26backed this up, knowing the SEC, that he could have gone to USC and maybe coached or something,

01:33but you can't go from one school to the other in the SEC and coach in the playoff during signing

01:37day. You just can't.
