A new era of college football is beginning in the South as a famous coach moves to a legendary program. This change has experts talking about how fast a team can become a winner with the right leader and enough money. People are watching closely to see if this big bet will result in a trophy for a school that loves to win.

Lane Kiffin is now the head coach for the LSU Tigers and he is already making huge moves. He took the job on November 30 and immediately started changing the team's roster. Many people think he can bring the program back to the very top of the sport because of his talent for finding great players.

The Tigers have been busy in the transfer portal where they have signed more than 35 new athletes. This includes the top quarterback in the country and many other stars who want to play in a fast offense. Now that the team is full of new talent, fans are wondering if a championship will happen sooner than anyone expected.

Lane Kiffin national championship prediction for LSU football

Brad Logan, an analyst covering the Ole Miss Rebels, has seen a lot of Kiffin in recent years and shared his thoughts about LSU's new trajectory on the Crain & Cone podcast. He believes that the Tigers' new coach will eventually lead the school to a title.

Logan said, "I think Lane is a fantastic football coach. And with the roster that’s been put into place, and upwards of $40+ million ... I think within a couple of years, I would buy that Lane Kiffin wins a national championship more than I would sell it."

The analyst thinks the Tigers are much closer to winning a trophy now than they have been in a long time. This is because the coach is using a lot of money to get the best players from other schools. While he did not recruit high school players very well at his last job, he is known as the "Portal King" for his work with older players.

There is a lot of pressure on the coach to win big games on the road against tough teams like Alabama and Georgia. Historically, he has struggled in those moments, so fans will be watching those matchups very carefully. However, many people believe the school in Baton Rouge is a better job than his previous one in Oxford.

LSU has a history of playing in the national title game when it is held in New Orleans. The championship will be in that city in 2028, and Logan thinks the Tigers will be there.

The Tigers will not hold a spring game this year but will instead hold a series of practices from March 24 to April 24.
