LSU will need to fire O for cause if they want to be able to pay Kiffin's enormous buyout. I'm not sure Kiffin makes that jump anyways. Ole Miss is a really good fit for him right now. His twitter persona and his actual personality are two very different things. Kiffin is quite the introvert in real life and at Ole Miss he's allowed to just go about his business with his head down and nobody messes with him, but the Baton Rogue media and LSU boosters are on the complete opposite side of that. He's apparently adopted the Saban model for dealing with boosters and hangers-on i.e. piss off and let me do my job and "no, you can't come to practice and stand there." I'm not sure that would fly at LSU. I also don't think Kiffin has won enough yet at Ole Miss to currently qualify for a blue blood type gig. I have no idea on the Lane Kiffin talk, but if LSU does fire Coach O, it will be for cause. Apparently, Title IX violations and sweeping rape alegations against football players under the rug is where they draw the line... (once the football team starts losing).
