Lane Kiffin makes his feelings clear after LSU's crushing win over Clemson

It wasn't close. Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers absolutely dominated the Clemson Tigers on Saturday with a 51-10 final score. So, the Kiffin era is off to a banging start, and the new head coach isn't mad about it.

After the win, Kiffin and LSU had lots to celebrate. But Kiffin made it clear that, win or lose, he really doesn't care what the media says about him. It'd be hard to say anything negative about Kiffin after the win that he pulled off, but regardless, he made his feelings very clear talking to reporters after the game.

Lane Kiffin doesn't care what the news media thinks

After the game, during a news conference, Kiffin even hypothesized that if the game had been close, the media would have ripped him apart. He also referred to how LSU recently tried to add two players released by the NFL to its roster for this game.

"Because I get it, even if we won close and ugly, the whole story would have been, 'Man, I screwed the team up by doing this,'" he said to reporters. "I've been criticized heavily the last two weeks and I get that, I understand that. But my job is not to please you and worry about what you're going to write. My job is what I believe is right, and I believe we were fighting for what was right for those kids.

"I'm not going to get into all the reasons, but that's what I believe. Maybe people don't like that, but they don't understand that."

Kiffin cares about wins, and he's already getting them.
