There are reports Ed Orgeron got the LSU job by telling AD Joe Alleva he would hire Lane Kiffin and bringing a large binder full of future plans for the program. That reminded me of two things: Kiffin got hired at USC because he told Mike Garrett he would hire Orgeron and Monte Kiffin. And Pat Haden raved about the large binder Kiffin showed him with all his plans for the future. I wonder if Clay Helton has a large binder too?
I sometimes wonder how the blogger got his job.
Well, with 20 years at The Daily News, one can just assume it is tenure… and, I suppose, a complete lack of any sort of binder.
And you still think the Coliseum is the Rose Bowl and the ground doesn’t radiate heat

Lol
Man was that a horrid song or what ? That album buried Styx for good.
Pretty much a career ender.
From ” Miss America ” to that, talk about a mammoth drop off
With his tenure, he can’t get fired.
He went to the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism so he was a lock.
9-3 .. I guess Clay’s large binder is doing just fine.. Hey all we need is for Washington to beat Colorado and Clay and his larger binder will be playing in the Rose Bowl. Large binder 9-3 and SW 0
But but but buuuu I pick the score of the USC Notre Dame game and and and got it right!
Fight On Scooter!
Still not sold on Helton, need to see a very good recruiting class with top DL and OL in it as well as some staff changes
USC recruits itself so don’t worry. All Helton has to do is get out of the way and let Darnold lead the team to the national playoff.
LSU and Ed vs USC and Helton for the Natty in 2018 #bigbindergatebowl
Not when it comes to nasty DL and OL, but we can recruit the shat out of WR’s !
Ya, USC hasn’t had any great linemen.
in the 70’s ya … and 2005 , that Carroll, Ruehl and Chow recruited.
Not in the last few years they haven’t
When teams control their line of scrimmage, they don’t need a great quarterback to rescue them. Just ask Nick Saban, because he’s won a few national championships without great players at that position.
That’s why the era of good feeling may end after next year.
because that worked so well when Pete dummied down his coaching staff
That will dictate Helton’s future, because without talent in the trenches, USC’s not going to win when Sam Darnold turns pro .
You are correct Fred. If SC can get to a New Years Bowl and win, I think kids will see that and they will want to come and play here.
BINGO!
Does he have Mitt Romney’s binder?
Lets hope not
Mitt doesn’t need it anymore.
Lol.. Maybe!
Clay’s players were his binder. I’d hate to see whats in sw’s binder.
ya call a play let Darnold make something up … and put Ajax back on kicks
With Kiffin’s Ego, going to LSU and sticking it to Saban may give him more short term satisfaction that becoming a Head Coach somewhere.
Why does Kiffin want to stick it to Saban? And how does leaving to work for Ed O as the OC for a weaker program stick it to Saban?
Its not weaker.. Remember the score ?.. LSU really needs a OC and qb that will fit within the system..LSU’s receivers are in the top 5 nationally.. They just need a qb and Lane Kiffin!
LOL, Lame is a narcissistic bozo
He may be a major jack but, the boy can do his x’s and o’s!
He might be another Homer Smith!
More like Homer Simpson
Uh, no. Anyone who doesn’t have Reggie Bush on the field with the game on the line doesn’t know his fanny from a hole in the ground
Still too soon to think about that play…
Uhhh, yeah
And Saban knows nothing about football, that’s why he hired a bad OC with baggage. Really?
same agent , hello
Ya like the 7 pts he put up vs winless Wazzu in 2012 .. or the 4th and 2 with a NFL offense in 2005
You have been listening to Gary freaking Danielson on CBS/Bama station too long.
Kiffin sucks , he proved it at USC
Im not a fan nor do I like him but, he if put on lock down ie, Carroll and Saban he produces results. Can ‘t be a perfect play caller. He’s gotta good mind for the x-o’s. ..And yes, he should not have never been hired at SC as their HC.
Proving that Alabama’s recent success (against Clemson in particular) was due to Alabama finally having an Offense to go with their Defense.
Wolfie could call plays at Alabama and they would win
You know Saban has only had 4 different OC win national titles with him … ya 4
Saban already told him this is his last year … not even going to let him coach playoffs
ya because those offers are just piling up … and Kiffy knows full well he cannot take a Purdue type job and actually build a program 0-12 here we come
I think Orgerons time has come. I think that he is ready to become a head coach. I think that it was a good hire.
The Kiffer can’t get a HC job ?
This just shows you that Special Ed isn’t very smart
What if Big Ed hired Sarkisian? How ironic would that be
2 ex drunks, nice. Special Ed will never hire Sark
Ed Orgeron could be making the biggest mistake of his career by hiring, Lane Kiffen. Because Kiffen’s success had all to do with Nick Saban keeping him in check behind close doors, and even on the sidelines. And no matter how great a play caller Kiffen is, he’s still extremely immature , and needs to be reeled in every now and then
Orgeron should know that by now, but if Kiff goes to LSU, we will see. I have a feeling if Kiff doesn’t go to LSU, Orgeron will offer Sarkisian who will gladly take it.
Kiffin moving to LSU from Alabama is interesting. I guess playing for a Natty every year gets boring. Maybe Kiffy thinks if he goes to LSU and turns them around offensively he won’t just be thought of as doing well with Saban’s supervision and talent. Maybe his agent is telling him he needs to get out from under Saban’s influence. Might lead to a big HC job in a couple years.
I think this is a valid point. Kiffin has the opportunity to make more money. Improve the offensive production with the talent he will have available to him and will have more leeway to spread his wings without Saban hovering over him. He should do it.
They have the same agent. Saban did his agent a favor by bringing Kiffin on and rehab is pathetic imagine, but that favor is up. Read or listen to what Finebaum is saying. Kiffy isn’t wanted at Bama anymore.
Another interesting facet to the story. Not liked at Tuscaloosa, chance to improve your stock elsewhere. Makes more sense to move on to another opportunity.
Neither of the binders mentioned above could compare to the one Paul Hackett had while at USC.
That was huge and it was only for the offense! And USC still sucked.
LSU AD must be an idiot ( well he hired O ) but if O said he was bringing Kiffin and he still hired him …. well
Watching that train wreck will be hilarious. Saban wants Kiffy out, Kiffy wants Houston job , Houston doesn’t want Kiffy … so he ends up with O. Grab the popcorn it’s going to be quite the comedy, especially if Kiffy brings his arse boy Suckisian.
When will O punch Kiffin before the season during the season or after the season.
Wait till they hire Sark as the QB coach!
Helton doesn’t need a binder. (Are we talking about Romney’s Binders full of women??)
Is Romney a closet polygamist?
He could stay at Bama and win a national championship every year, that’s not bad. Kiffin didn’t have to show the binder to Pat Haden though, I think he must’ve shown it to Mike Garrett when he hired him. Promising Monte and Ed O doesn’t seem like some awesome pull, just like promising to hire Kiffin might make the boss reconsider, it’s not like anyone credits Kiffin with Alabama’s success.
