Lane Kiffin Leaves LSU After 72 Hours
Joins UAB in Most Chaotic Coaching Carousel Move in College Football History
BATON ROUGE, La. / BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — In what experts are calling “the most Lane Kiffin thing Lane Kiffin has ever done,” newly-hired LSU head coach Lane Kiffin has abruptly resigned after just three days on the job, packed up his visor collection, and headed east to become the new head coach of the UAB Blazers.
Sources say the drama unfolded almost immediately after Kiffin arrived in Louisiana. Witnesses reported seeing him standing outside Tiger Stadium, staring into the humid distance, whispering, “What have I done?” while slowly removing a corn dog from a fan’s hand.
According to insiders, the epiphany hit him hard.
“Bro, I’ve always wanted to be at UAB. Why didn’t you call me?”

Mark Ingram, who was in the middle of a peaceful lunch at Saw’s BBQ, allegedly paused mid–pork plate and replied, “Man, you never said anything. But if you’re serious… come on.”
Within hours, Kiffin and his family reportedly entered what is being described as “the fastest prayer retreat in NCAA history,” emerging 14 minutes later with what sources call “complete clarity” and “a surprising peace about Birmingham traffic.”
By nightfall, the Kiffins were already on I-59, racing toward UAB with a moving truck full of visors, Chick-fil-A sauce packets, and laminated play sheets from the Ole Miss days labeled “DO NOT LET LSU TOUCH.”
LSU officials, for their part, held a press conference where they alternated between confusion, denial, and eating corn dogs as a coping mechanism.
“Honestly, we thought he was just going to Buc-ee’s,” one LSU administrator said. “He left during lunch. We didn’t even get his parking pass printed.”
Meanwhile, UAB fans erupted in celebration, lighting green and gold fireworks, chanting “FIRE UP THE DRAGON,” and updating their Twitter bios to “#KiffinAtTheCastle.”
Kiffin himself was spotted smiling ear-to-ear upon reaching Protective Stadium, reportedly saying:
“Now this is where a legend builds his dynasty.”
Experts predict UAB ticket sales will spike approximately 4000% by midnight.
In related news, Ole Miss fans have begun petitioning Congress to ban Kiffin from crossing state lines without written approval.
