Lane Kiffin Respond To Question About The LSU Job

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin spoke to the media Monday and was asked about some of the early reports that he is being mentioned as a candidate for the LSU job and whether or not he will address it with his team.

Kiffin also talked about his relationship with Ed Orgeron. Per The Clarion-Ledger:

"I think the team knows how focused we are and how we take it one day at a time so I've never addressed that," Kiffin said. "Maybe I should, but we don't worry about things that we can't control that are on the outside. Obviously in recruiting you're always battling all that. I feel like every coach probably battles that but especially (me) ever since leaving Tennessee. It is what it is and we'll work our way through it."

Orgeron has replaced Kiffin as a head coach before. Kiffin has taken over a job Orgeron previously had as well, albeit years after Orgeron's stint at Ole Miss. Nothing seems to be out of bounds between the two friends.

"We have a really good relationship," Kiffin said. "He's not a big talk-on-the-phone guy, as you can imagine. But he actually texted me after that game Saturday. He's an awesome guy and phenomenal coach."
