Lane Kiffin left his position as head coach at the Ole Miss Rebels and took the same role with the LSU Tigers on Saturday. The Tigers, who earlier fired head coach Brian Kelly following a 5-3 start to the season, are expecting big things with Kiffin’s arrival.
Kiffin led the Rebels to an 11-1 regular season record but was denied staying as coach for the upcoming College Football Playoff by Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter.
On Tuesday, college football analyst Aaron Taylor doesn’t think Kiffin will be able to do well for the Tigers and down the line, the Tigers fans will lament the decision to hire Kiffin in the first place.
“It’s a disaster. He doesn’t know how to break up. He doesn’t do what’s in the best interest of not only himself, but where he goes,” Taylor said.
“And I think we’re going to be four or five years from now having this same conversation, and the LSU fan base is going to be pissed off because he got in his own way as well. So while the calendar needs to change, the whole thing needs to change. This is about Lane Kiffin and the choices he makes.”
Aaron Taylor Gives Frog-Scorpion Analogy For LSU-Lane Kiffin Association
Aaron Taylor also called Kiffin a “scorpion” who will use LSU as a “frog.”
“It reminds me of that analogy of the frog and the scorpion,” Kiffin added. “The scorpion wants to go across the river, promises that he won’t sting the frog, but when they get to the other side — bam. The frog goes, ‘Man, why’d you do that? You said you weren’t going to do it.’ He’s like, ‘I’m a scorpion.’
“This is what you get with Lane Kiffin, and I hope LSU knows what it got, because be careful what you ask for. And I don’t know if it’s as big an upgrade as they may think.”

As per this analogy, it seems Taylor believes that Kiffin will use LSU as a way to build his name and relationship with recruits and when the time comes, he will ditch them for a bigger program like Alabama or Georgia.
