LSU's Lane Kiffin takes one last parting shot at Ole Miss: 'You're welcome'
In typical Lane Kiffin fashion, the LSU football coach had a final parting shot for Ole Miss following his homecoming to Oxford, Mississippi.
In the Week 3 SEC matchup, LSU and Ole Miss were not just about the players on the field, but also the coach's influence. Lane Kiffin, the Rebels' coach, who had previously defected from Ole Miss after a stellar 11-1 season, returned to Oxford, Mississippi for a homecoming that was far from enjoyable. Ole Miss had proven that Kiffin already had what he was seeking at LSU.
Despite LSU's defeat 32-24, Kiffin managed to deliver a final parting shot at his former program. Addressing the stadium atmosphere, Kiffin stated that it was filled an hour before kickoff – and he attributed this to his own efforts. He quipped, "You’re welcome." It remains unclear if Kiffin's claim holds any truth, but it does support his stated reason for leaving LSU – to coach a program more focused on winning a championship, with fewer hindrances.
