LSU Tigers head coach Lane Kiffin’s emotional moment on the field after their 22-21 loss to the Texas Longhorns ended any hopes of making it to the College Football Playoffs.
The Tigers have a 6-4 season record, going 3-4 against the SEC, after the loss to the Longhorns. Kiffin’s first full season in charge of the Tigers after his acrimonious exit from Ole Miss last season has not been a pleasant ride.

The emotions of failing to lead a program like LSU to the playoffs in his first full season while continuing the team’s pattern of struggling against top-10 teams left Kiffin overwhelmed after the loss.
With how Kiffin left Ole Miss and his generally boisterous nature in front of the media, fans were clearly rejoicing the apparent tears from the 51-year-old coach in his first season in charge.
“The karma finding Lane Kiffin this season is something to behold,” said one seemingly happy fan.
“I would cry too if I had to coach Levitt,” were the thoughts of another fan.

“Arch Manning had Lane Kiffin crying on the sideline,” joked a fan.
“It’s not even the slightest bit difficult (to feel bad for Kiffin) after all of the stunts he’s pulled and people he’s screwed over through the years,” said one fan, rejecting anyone having sympathy for Kiffin.
“I like watching him lose… Constant Karma,” said another fan.
The tears were justified as this loss was the death sentence for LSU with regard to this season, as even an undefeated season from this point on might not be enough to earn them a spot in the college football playoffs.
Kiffin coached Ole Miss to the playoff last season but did not get to see the season through after being asked to leave the program for agreeing midseason to join LSU in 2026, a decision that has kept him more unpopular than ever among casual fans.

This is a win for fans with no loyalties, as LSU fans and Kiffin fans will have to wait another year and pray for an improvement.
