Episode Date: December 1, 2025

There is speculation that Lane Kiffin may add Coach O to his staff. First off, that's a homerun. Second, I need this to happen. What would it sound like if Coach O returned to the Bayou? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Now that I've yelled and screamed about a bunch of shit, there is something that's fun in this. There is a possibility that Coach O ends up back in LSU because why wouldn't he? He's an amazing recruiter. He's got a great history with Lane Kiff and the guy loves Louisiana. Louisiana loves him. Is there a possibility that Coach O is back? And that would bring me so much joy and so much excitement if Coach O. made his return to the bayou as like a defensive lying coach where he is very elite by the way

if he comes back a defensive line coach recruiting the hell out of the area bringing that Louisiana vibe to it shit man that would make me very happy let's play a couple commercials and we'll get into it you imagine when lane kiffin gets up there at his press conference which i imagine it's happening today at some point and kiffin gets up there at his press conference. And he's like, first things first. I'm glad to be here. I am the head coach at LSU. I'm glad to be at LSU. This is a great place. And my family's excited to be here. We're very excited about this. This is wonderful. And then like the lights go down. And all the sudden you hear. By God, that's Coach O's music.

Well, you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow. Kick off your shoes and you throw them on the Flos, dance in the kitchen till the morning light, Louisiana Saturday night. And out comes Cojo, shirtless, riding a tiger. Hey, land is Cojo! Good to be back on the bayou. The other idea is that maybe they play like Born on the Bayou or something, like Born on the Bayou plays. And here comes Coacho. he's got to come back.

Now, because I've heard people say, well, what if he gets a job as a head coach? He ain't getting a job as head coach. And not in anywhere valuable. Like, if I were coach, what's more beneficial to me, being the head coach at Northwestern State or being the defensive line coach with Lane Kiffin at LSU, kicking ass, taking names? God, that'd be so sweet. I miss Coach O so much. He comes out there and just get back on the recruiting trail, back on the phone, getting to recruit

for LSU. God, imagine him on those phone calls. Hey, baby, what's happening to Kojo? Y'all come on, baby, Tiger, huh, baby? Yeah, I'm out there, Koja with Lane, baby. God, that'd be so sweet. It's all I want. I don't ask for a lot.

And look, I'm glad LSU hired Lane. I'm all about that life. I get it. But, like, Coach O making his triumphant return to LSU with Lane Kiffin, riding in on a tiger. By God, that's Coach O'Lew. shows music. Lane could just win everybody if he says, look, we're filling out the staff,

and that's kind of a thing right now, as they're trying to figure out who's going to be on the staff. I love the story, by the way, of Kiffin basically telling people, listen, if you want to come with me, get on the plane. Because it sounds like there was some real drama in this thing, like, you know, trying to poach the coaches. Like, there were some real asshole dealings behind the scenes from both parties on this. But it's, look, you're being victimized, by the way, the calendar is set up and how

you have to put this shit together now. Like it's an inconvenience, certainly. But he's telling all the guys, hey, listen, if you get on the plane now, you're going to come to LSU. But if you don't get on this plane now, you're all out. And the guys that got on the plane got on the plane. But can you imagine he's up there at the podium today? Man, it's good to be at LSU. We're here to win.

This is the reason I'm here. And the ghost of my dad told me this shit. And my dog's Twitter told me this. And he says, one more thing. You know, here's some guys who are definitely going to be on the staff. And here's one more that you haven't heard. Uh, but, uh, guys, can you, guys, uh, bring out Coach O. Thank you, Lane.

Well, you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow. Kick off your shoes and you thought, this Coach O, good to be back. I've been out there getting lots of strange for the last four years. I made $17 million to go away. And all I did was took that $17 million. down to Miami and I got tons of tons of pussy so much from everywhere I mean I couldn't I couldn't beat that pussy on and now I'm back in Louisiana I'm ready to coach coach old back where my tiger because I'm full of tiger spunk baby see that would be fun that would bring me the joy if we can get

coach oh back on board he comes out people are excited like that would get me more excited than Lane. I don't know why. I don't know if it's just like as I'm getting older, I find like older people who are less polished to be charming. Or maybe it's just because Brian Kelly's the worst and he was certainly polished and not charming. But just the idea that Coach O comes back out, he's on the recruiting trail, running shirtless around the campus again, banging young chicks. God, what a man. What a man. Now, there are people in Mississippi. in the state of Mississippi, who are not pleased, obviously, with Lane Kiffin, because Lane Kiffin said, I'm out. Word to your mother.

And he is headed to Baton Rouge, and he's in Baton Rouge now, and the plane landed. Now, for a plane to land, a plane would have to take off from somewhere, right? So the Ole Miss people that huddled up and were talking shit to Lane as he got on the plane, they were certainly something. So they're not happy thing here, the hypocrisy, but it's obvious, hypocrisy and all this is, again, the obvious hypocritical thing here, the hypocrisy and all this, but it's obvious, is they spent the last two weeks talking about how they want Lane, and Lane's got to stay, and blah, blah, blah, and now he decides to leave,

and now he's a shitty coach, and he's terrible. That's usually how it goes, though. That's how sports fans are. It's like when you listen to a sports radio show, and they'll spend the entire week explaining why the team they're playing sucks and they're going to easily beat them, right? So, a guy, I'll call the radio station like, hey, hey, yo, it's Joe. And be like, hey, Joe, you're on WIPA. What's up? And Joe will be like, hey, look, the Cowboys are terrible, right?

Hey, look, they're bad and blah, blah, blah. And they're the worst team ever and DAC is gay. And C.D. Lamb probably likes the hog. and they're an awful team, and we should beat them by 30 points. And if we don't, we should fire everybody. And then, like, say you go out and you beat that team, all of a sudden they want you to blow them for beating that team. Like, hey, why don't you give us credit? Hey, I'm calling.

Why aren't you guys giving us credit for beating the Cowboys? And you're like, well, because you spent all last week telling us how bad they are. And now you beat this team that you've said is so terrible. And now you want us to blow you for beating the terrible team. But that's how sports fans are. That's how sports fans operate. Dude, that first game, they're playing an Ole Miss next year. And that might be the most violent reaction that anyone will ever get in the history of sports.

It'll be like the Coliseum. You know, you think about this. When Lane went back to Tennessee, and that was what, 2002, 21, 22, when he made his first trip back to Tennessee, coaching Ole Miss. And mind you, he left Tennessee. what was it, 11, 12 years before then, right? Step and left and I'm out of here, I'm going to USC. Think about that. 11, 12 years later, those people had this pent up rage

and still threw shit at him and all that, right? That's from 11 or 12 years before that. This is going to be less than a year. And these people are going to be enraged, particularly when they lose in the college football playoffs so they don't get this championship. And what if their new coach comes out and they're flat and they're not as good.

These Ole Miss people may kill him. That is going to be a super violent situation. Like this is not going to be like a fun rowdy situation. It's going to be a dangerous rowdy situation. Because I've been to some LSU Ole Miss games that can get kind of dangerous. Like people get wild, right? This is going to be the most dangerous sporting event. This is going to be like inner city homecoming level dangerous.

This is going to be like, oh, football game started. Oh, there's a shooting in the parking lot. Like, this shit's going to get nuts. This is going to be, like, I don't know if I can think of a situation. Like when Saban came back to LSU, it wasn't even like this because Saban left and he took the Dolphins job. Then he became the Alabama coach. But it was different, right? And then Saban said some stuff that was caught on a hot mic of him talking about LSU.

And that kind of riled people up a little bit. But big picture, Saban left. Saban went to the pro. You don't blame him for going to the pros. He comes back with Alabama because that's the job that's open. And that's that. I can't think of a situation like this. With former players, obviously, like, LeBron coming back to Cleveland after the decision.

Like, that type of thing was going to be raucous. But this is the South. This is Mississippi. This is all they have. This is going to be bat-shed. This is going to be super violent. fights in the stands, fights in the parking lots, security's not going to care what they bring in to throw on the field. They're going to be throwing so much shit on the field.

It's going to be violent. Because it's not a fun rivalry right now. This isn't fun for Ole Miss. And the fact that this game's going to happen at Ole Miss, like, this is going to be, this is going to be bonkers. This is going to be just dangerous. Like, I don't know that I'd want to go. First of all, the tickets are going to be a billion dollars. But you go to that game wearing an LSU shirt, you're put, like, very rarely do I say this thing.

Like if you go to an Eagles game, right, people will say, you don't want to go to the Eagles game wearing your other team colors. And big picture, I don't really believe that. Like, people will talk shit and whatever. Some drunk guys get into a fight, they'll get into a fight. But big picture, like, I don't think you're unsafe going to a game in Philadelphia or New York because you're wearing the other team's gear. Maybe if you're a white dude wearing, you know, some other team's gear at a Dodgers game, you might get shank. But for the most part, like, I don't think you're in true danger going to places wearing the other team shit. I think there's a very good possibility that you are in massive danger.

Like, grave danger. Is there any other kind? Grave danger if you go to that game wearing an LSU shirt. And I would say that Lane Kiffitt's family would be in danger. Because these are Mississippi people. They have nothing to live for. This is just all they have. Like, they live in Mississippi.

What else do they have to live for? Hey, guys, we're taking a big trip to Jackson this week. Like, there's nothing for these people to live for. Now, they finally had a taste of the good life. Then it was stripped from them. And then the guy who stripped it from them is coming back. First time back is going to be at your place. Like, this is going to be like Roman Coliseum.

There will be death. There will be destruction. There will be mayhem. Like, if you thought the one was bad, And again, Tennessee was bad. They were throwing golf balls and shit at him. Just wait. It's going to get real fucking bad.

And people will get hurt. And very rarely what I say, I'd be scared to attend a sporting event. I think I'd be scared to attend that sporting event. I wouldn't spend $500, $600 a ticket to go to that game and possibly get my ass kicked. I think Kiffin's family is going to be in danger. I think, and so I doubt that he'd even have them there for that. because there'd be no reason to. How could you trust these people?

These are lunatics. They show up at the airport telling you to go, fuck yourself and flipping you off and flipping you off and your kids off and your family. Like, no thank you. Like, you're not going to be bringing your kids to that shit or your family to that shit. Although Kiffin's a fucking wacko and he feeds off of this shit. So maybe he will. Again, he's a sociopath. So I have no clue what he's going to do.

But that's going to be bananas is what that's going to be. And dangerous and probably scary is all hell. And they may burn the stadium down. Like it's some sort of like foreign soccer game. Like the stands will collapse in their little tinker toys stadium. More to come.
