New LSU Tigers head coach Lane Kiffin is one of the most outspoken people in college football, and after one of the wildest hirings we have ever seen in the sport, he’s making some big promises ahead of his first season in Baton Rouge.

Kiffin hopped on an episode of ‘In The Bayou with Tyrann Mathieu’, a podcast hosted by former Tigers and NFL superstar Tyrann Mathieu and made a bold declaration that at some point during his tenure coaching LSU, he is going to bring the state of Louisiana another national title.

“I don’t know how fast it’s going to happen, but we’re going to win a national championship,” he told Mathieu. “We’re going to have the teams and the rosters back to the way they were playing when they were great. I don’t know how fast. It might not be today, but it’s going to happen.”

Kiffin doubled down on his confidence, talking about having the staff in place to recruit and acquire the talent needed to get to the very top of the sport.

“I feel it in recruiting too. Now that we’ve got our staff fully here and we know how to sell LSU because we’re meeting with everyone, it’s one of one. It’s what Nick Saban said. It’s the best job in America,” he continued. “I want people to fear LSU the way I had to fear LSU when I was at Alabama. We were gonna play LSU and we knew it was on…and you better hope that game isn’t at LSU, and please don’t be at night.”

Kiffin has never been lacking in confidence, and it seems with his new gig nothing has changed. He had better hope he’s correct though, because if he isn’t, those who love him today will turn on him quickly tomorrow.
