Lane Kiffin and Pete Golding were all laughs before LSU-Ole Miss

There may be a lot of animosity in Ole Miss' stadium for LSU coach Lane Kiffin, but Pete Golding doesn't seem to share those sentiments.

As LSU coach Lane Kiffin prepares to return to Ole Miss for Saturday's game against his former school, the college football world is watching closely. The match-up carries added emotion, given the tumultuous departure of Kiffin last season. Despite the history between these two fan bases, it appears that Kiffin and Ole Miss coach Pete Golding are keeping any animosity at bay.

When they met at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium prior to kickoff, the two displayed good humor, even engaging in a playful wrestling match before shaking hands and embracing. Golding, who served as Ole Miss' defensive coordinator last year under Kiffin, was a key figure in the program's success, leading them to two College Football Playoff wins before losing to Miami in the semifinals.

Now in his first season as head coach in Oxford, Golding is aiming to defeat the man who prompted his move to the SEC.
