Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers continue navigating a critical stretch in Baton Rouge this offseason with the program reconstructing the roster via the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Once Kiffin arrived in Louisiana, there was a primary focus on utilizing the two-week portal window to reload the roster with a treasure chest full of roster cash to work with championship expectations on the program's mind.

“This place is built for championships with championship expectations. We understand that, but as an elite competitor, that’s exactly what you want, and that’s why we’re here,” Kiffin said at his introductory press conference. …

"I know that we have, with the passion of LSU family and our LSU players, that we have everything to bring championship football back to LSU.

“It’s time for LSU to take its place back as the best program in all of college football. … I’m uniquely prepared at 50 years old for this job to have been so many places, done good things, made a lot of mistakes and made them really early on.”
