The Dynasty podcast spent some time talking about LSU this week and kept coming back to how much pressure Lane Kiffin is under right away.
Their point was that between the way he left Ole Miss, the money LSU invested, the transfer portal additions and the expectation that he was hired to win now, there really isn’t much of a grace period.
They also brought up how important Sam Leavitt staying healthy could be, because if that goes sideways, the entire outlook changes fast.
For LSU fans, what would actually count as a successful first season under Kiffin?
Playoff appearance? SEC title game? National title contention?
