Ahead of Lane Kiffin’s first season as the head coach of LSU, he’s making a national championship promise. LSU has a history of contending for a national championship but has fallen from that expectation over the past few seasons.
In an interview on In The Bayou with Tyrann Mathieu, Kiffin declared that a national championship will occur under his tenure.
“I don’t know how fast it’s going to happen, but we’re going to win a national championship. 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.
He added, “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.”
LSU boasts four acclaimed national championships: 1958, 2003, 2007, and 2019. 2019 featured a historic roster led by future NFL stars Joe Burrow, Jordan Jefferson, and Ja’Marr Chase. But the team has not appeared in the College Football Playoff since 2019, and Brian Kelly’s tenure with the program didn’t deliver the success many expected. LSU finished with a 7-6 record in the 2025 season and a loss to Houston in the 2025 Texas Bowl.
Now, Kiffin looks to have his shot at contention after building an Ole Miss team that, even without his presence on the sideline, ultimately went on to advance far in the College Football Playoffs after an upset victory over Georgia.
