Do Lane Kiffin, Pete Golding get along? What we know before Ole Miss football vs LSU

What's the relationship like between Pete Golding and Lane Kiffin before Ole Miss football vs. LSU? Here's what Golding said at SEC Media Days.

Pete Golding and Lane Kiffin have coached together on the Ole Miss football sidelines for the past three seasons, but will be facing each other as opposing coaches for the first time in the upcoming game against rival LSU. Kiffin left Ole Miss for LSU before last season's College Football Playoff, while Golding was elevated from defensive coordinator to head coach at Ole Miss and led the team to the CFP semifinals.

Golding expressed no ill will towards Kiffin in an interview at SEC Media Days in July, stating that they both possess a competitive spirit. However, Golding also wished for Kiffin to stay at Ole Miss, as he believed it was in Kiffin's best interest. Golding emphasized that Ole Miss fans should maintain their unique and welcoming environment during the upcoming game, urging them not to let the rivalry overshadow the rich history and camaraderie of the university.
