Lane Kiffin is expecting a hostile reception when he returns to Oxford on Saturday, and ESPN analyst Dusty Dvoracek believes the atmosphere could be one of the best college football has to offer.

Speaking on SportsCenter, Dvoracek said the way Kiffin left Ole Miss during last season’s College Football Playoff run left plenty of people around the program feeling “hurt” and “scorned.”

“With what transpired last season around Lane Kiffin and leaving his team during a playoff run, this fanbase, they were hurt,” Dvoracek said. “They were scorned. These players, this administration, the Grove Collective, everyone around Ole Miss athletics, has a hatred for Lane Kiffin.”

Dvoracek expects those emotions to be on full display Saturday night.

“And they want nothing more than to let him know that whenever he enters that stadium Saturday night,” he said. “This is what separates college football from everything else. That environment we’re going to see Saturday night is as good as it gets. And Lane Kiffin is as big of a villain as we’ve ever seen.”

They act like their entire program, the program that Lane built, just up and left them homeless. It was Ole Piss who decided to not let him coach through the playoffs, not Lane Kiffin. He and LSU were cool with it, but they acted like an irrational trashy, tatted up, trailer-trash woman who called her brothers to stop him from walking out with his own belongings instead of being civil about the breakup.

Coaches leave all the time. Lane could have potentially left AFTER the playoffs. That was a decision made by Ole Miss. He's definitely been portrayed as the villain. Whatever floats their boat!
But, most people know the truth.

So fricking crazy. a complete lie. He was told to kick rocks and the staff that was going to follow him was told to kick rocks also

They wanted him to sign a contract saying he was going to go back to ole miss and would not pursue another head coaching job the following year prior to being allowed to coach in cfp….

No one in the known universe woke up this morning wondering what was Dusty's opinion on Lane Kiffin.

I still have yet to hear what any of these talking heads say exactly what they think he should have done if he wanted to take another and arguably better job given the situation. How exactly would that have worked other than how it did? Was he supposed to have asked LSU to hold the job open when he knew there was no way that was gonna happen?

Never trust in a man named “Dusty”

"These players, this administration, the Grove Collective, everyone around Ole Miss athletics, has a hatred for Lane Kiffin.” Lie. Saying "everyone" probably doesn't incluide any LSU grad working at Ole Miss. And Christians themselves are commanded not to hate.
