I think he gets fired mid season of season 4, so I rounded down and said 3. Expectations are extremely high at LSU, and kiffin's history will put him on a relatively short leash

I think we're going to get an every-other-year kind of performance from him and that his shtick will only last so long and after year 5 they'll be ready for something new again.
Looking at that list it doesn't surprise me that Ed O lasted 6 years since he's the most authentic of the 3 coaches.

I went with 4 before he goes sniffing around for another job or he gets fired.

Reminds me of a fable, “you knew when you picked me up I was a snake, now you blame me for biting you”. His exit history is a complete joke.

If he struggles at LSU, will probably depend on what they owe Kelly at the time. If it comes to it, paying two buyouts may prove too expensive, even for LSU.
