Lane Kiffin's time at Ole Miss was often marred by the troubles he faced while he was leaving the program. But when it came to choosing his destination, there can be few to argue that LSU was the right place for him. As Kiffin puts it himself, the LSU move was simply too hard to resist.
Speaking on the SEC Network, Kiffin made it clear that it was the right decision to leave Ole Miss for LSU, and highlighted conversations with Nick Saban and Pete Carroll that only reiterated that fact.
"To speed up their (Nick Saban and Pete Carroll) lengthy conversations on it, it was to take the (LSU) job. One of them had the perspective of being the LSU head coach, the other one had the perspective of what would your dad say to do," Kiffin said.
"It was the right decision to take the job, there's never a minute, second in the day that I'm in LSU and I don't feel the power of LSU…We've talked about the handling of it, could have definitely been better but those calls (with Saban and Carroll) were "go for it"."
While this was a snapshot of what Pete Carroll advised Lane Kiffin about moving to LSU, the former Ole Miss coach did talk a bit in detail earlier about Carroll's advice to him while deciding about the move.
