Lane Kiffin played himself one more time
The best coach Ole Miss has had since integration lost to his own creation on Saturday night. It was both a total repudiation of Lane Kiffin and a demonstration of why LSU committed $91 million to him and put a roughly $50 million roster around him. Sorry, Lane. And well done, Lane! Ole Miss’ 32-24 […]
Ole Miss secured a 32-24 victory over Lane Kiffin's LSU Tigers on Saturday night, marking a significant moment for the Rebels' fans and a satisfactory experience for casual spectators. The win showcased the program Kiffin built in Oxford, which remains powerful despite his departure last November. Kiffin's tenure at Ole Miss transformed the SEC's football backwater into one of the best jobs, but his self-sabotaging behavior and inability to dismantle the team he created proved detrimental to his new role at LSU.
The financial support from Ole Miss, close to LSU's, has elevated the floor for future coaches, making it easier to win and attract top talent. Kiffin's history of self-imposed problems, from immature behavior to controversies, has followed him throughout his career. His decision to leave Ole Miss may not be his final chapter, but it has already resulted in an early loss in his LSU tenure, jeopardizing his chances of securing a national championship trophy. Kiffin's pursuit of glory has already cost him a valuable opportunity.
