The start of the 2026 college football season is still over six months away, but Tiger fans are already fired up for Year 1 of the Lane Kiffin era. Kiffin's hiring and early moves on the job have brought a new energy to the LSU Football program, and LSU fans are eager to see what Kiffin can cook up in 2026. LSU has not qualified for the College Football Playoff since its historic 2019 National Championship season, which is something Kiffin is looking to change this season.
Kiffin will begin his first season on the sidelines in Baton Rouge on September 5 against Clemson.
