Ed Orgeron Comments On Lane Kiffin & Ole Miss Feud, Says Recruiting Stigma Is Accurate

Lane Kiffin made headlines this week for his comments about the recruiting issues he faced when he was at Ole Miss.

Former LSU coach Ed Orgeron, who was also head coach at Ole Miss from 2005-'07, was on WWL Radio SportsTalk with Bobby Hebert this week and confirmed Kiffin's assessment:

"Yea, it was there, no question," Orgeron told WWL's Mike Detillier. "I mean, they had a history there of, you know, racism and Colonel Reb, but you know what, when we got there, the kids that we had were treated good and they had success, but we did face it in recruiting and they still have that stigma, but look, they overcame it. They got some great players. They’ve had success, graduated, went on to the NFL."

"I think that stigma is always going to stay with them," Orgeron continued, "just like other schools have a stigma, but that is definitely there at Ole Miss.”
