LSU would normally be a dream job. It's the only program of note in a state with tons of high school talent, but the governor is on record saying that the State's AG will personally go over the next hire's contract. He is also on record saying that they're "on the hook" for $53 million, to their last new hire, and now they won't honor that contract.
I can't imagine any established SEC or B1G level college coach being willing to walk into that mess. I'm honestly surprised that Kiffin apparently needs to choose between them and Florida.
I think he goes to LSU, the governor was just posturing so he could fire Scoot Woodward (apparently they don't like each other and have a history of bad political blood). LSU is offering Lane enough money to be the highest paid coach and the governor isn't going to stop that
