Lane Kiffin Keeps LSU Insiders, Raises Cash in Houston — A Masterclass in Transition

Описание: Lane Kiffin is wasting no time putting his stamp on LSU football — and one of his smartest early moves might be the one he didn’t make.

Instead of purging the program the way Brian Kelly did when he arrived in 2021, Kiffin has chosen to retain and promote key LSU support staff, including the promotion of JR Belton to Assistant General Manager. While Kiffin brought several trusted staffers with him from Ole Miss, he’s intentionally kept institutional knowledge in place to help bridge the transition — a move that speaks volumes about his leadership style and long-term vision.

In this episode, we break down:

Why keeping LSU’s internal “power brokers” matters more than fans realize

How Kiffin’s approach sharply contrasts with Brian Kelly’s scorched-earth reset

Why the JR Belton promotion is a big deal behind the scenes

Lane Kiffin’s Houston fundraising trip and what it says about LSU’s roster spending

How massive football investment could impact donor appetite for a Matt McMahon buyout

What this all means for LSU basketball and the future of the athletic department

Lane Kiffin isn’t just building a roster — he’s building buy-in, continuity, and leverage. And that could have ripple effects well beyond football.
