In this episode of New Dad Order, Ray and Parfait dive deep into the college football coaching carousel, reacting to Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss for LSU and the ripple effects it creates across the SEC and the national landscape. This conversation tackles the complicated intersection of NIL, the transfer portal, early signing day, and the evolving expectations placed on modern college coaches. Whether you’re a fan of Ole Miss, LSU, or simply fascinated with high-stakes college football drama, this episode breaks down why Kiffin’s move is bigger than one program—it’s a symptom of how the sport has changed.Ray argues from the player-first, culture-building perspective: college coaches play a crucial role in shaping athletes’ lives through development, mentorship, character building, and academic support. When a high-profile coach like Lane Kiffin leaves during a pivotal moment—right as the expanded College Football Playoff era begins and during the most sensitive part of the recruiting calendar—it raises questions about loyalty, leadership, and the promises made to players and their families. Ray emphasizes the emotional and relational cost when coaches sell stability and then walk away at the height of a program’s trajectory.Parfait counters with a business-reality take: college football has always been transactional. Coaches move for better jobs, players transfer for better opportunities, universities chase revenue, and fans are the only ones who get emotionally attached. With the rise of NIL money and the transfer portal, players now have as much freedom as coaches, making it inconsistent to criticize coaches for doing what players do every offseason. From his lens, Lane Kiffin going to LSU isn’t betrayal—it’s normal.The transfer portal introduces constant roster turnover, raising questions about continuity, culture, and long-term development.Throughout the episode, the conversation stays grounded in the show’s core mission—fatherhood, faith, and navigating manhood today. Ray and Parfait remind listeners that sports are ultimately a “man’s soap opera,” something we enjoy and invest in emotionally, but not something that defines us.✦ About Ernie Burns & Burns Estate Planning & Wealth AdvisorsPresident & CEO: Ernie M.
