LSU football news: Lane Kiffin keeps dissing Ole Miss after loss with 'Super Bowl' dig

Nearly a decade after Lane Kiffin's highly publicized departure from LSU football, Ole Miss finally had the chance to confront its former head coach and secure a victory. The Rebels capitalized on this opportunity, but Kiffin remained steadfast in his criticism of his former program even after the loss. During the SEC Football Coaches Teleconference on Wednesday, Kiffin referred to LSU's matchup against Ole Miss as the Rebels' "Super Bowl," suggesting that the game held an extraordinary level of significance for his former team.

Kiffin's comments came following LSU's opening-season 2-0 record, and the game marked Kiffin's first return to Oxford since leaving Ole Miss to take over at LSU. With plenty of confidence, the Tigers entered the highly anticipated game. However, Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss delivered one of the season's strongest performances, leading the Rebels to a 32-24 victory over LSU.

Kiffin's emotional return to Oxford created one of the most intriguing storylines in college football. He had spent six seasons transforming Ole Miss from a middle-of-the-pack program into a legitimate national contender. However, just as the Rebels were set to make their College Football Playoff push, Kiffin unexpectedly left Oxford to accept the LSU coaching position.

Ole Miss has already demonstrated this season that its success can be achieved without Kiffin on the sidelines. The Rebels have started the season with a 3-0 record, while LSU's season stands at 2-1 following their loss in Oxford.
