I’ve spent thirty years chasing college football across the country in my RV, and let me tell you, the game can really shape your travel plans. Lately, everyone’s buzzing about Lane Kiffin, head coach of the LSU Tigers.
Kiffin recently asked fans and stakeholders for a bit more patience. That alone has people questioning his future and wondering where LSU football is headed.
So, what does all this mean for folks like us who plan our trips around the Tigers? Let’s dig in a bit.
The Current State of LSU Football
LSU football has a rich history. But honestly, the last few seasons have been pretty rocky.
They brought in Lane Kiffin for his offensive smarts, hoping he’d breathe new life into the program. Yet, results have been all over the place, and fans are getting restless.
Kiffin’s plea for patience comes at a tense moment. The Tigers are rebuilding, and the community—including those of us who travel to see them—are being asked to stick with it.
Challenges Facing Lane Kiffin
Kiffin and his staff have their hands full, no doubt.
- Recruitment Issues: Competing for top talent in the SEC is brutal, and lately, LSU’s struggled to land the best.
