My Take
What fascinates me about Lane Kiffin is less his offensive playbook and more his sheer resilience. Few coaches have been hired, fired, doubted and resurrected as publicly as he has, from the Raiders to Tennessee to USC and finally a long, productive run at Ole Miss before reaching LSU. I read him as a man who is genuinely addicted to the chess match of football and refuses to disappear, no matter how much criticism he absorbs. His reputation as a wisecracker can obscure how shrewd he is. To me he is one of the most compelling survivors in the modern college game.
