Watch: Lane Kiffin Talks Manning Family, Jokes About Archie's Cameo Video

LSU head coach Lane Kiffin was asked about his relationship with the Manning family during Monday's press conference as the Tigers prepare to host Texas and quarterback Arch Manning this weekend.

Kiffin has a long history with the Manning family, dating back to his time at Tennessee and Ole Miss, and said he still keeps in touch with Peyton and Cooper Manning.

"Yeah, probably unique because if you think about it, I left them twice," Kiffin said. "You got to remember the Tennessee part too, and Peyton."

"Awesome family, awesome people. I still once in a while, in a text, whether it's a group text with the family or on the side just with Peyton or Cooper. They've been awesome, the places I've been, and very supportive while I was there."

Kiffin also joked about a Cameo video in which Archie Manning called him a few names following his departure from Ole Miss.

"He actually left me a message right after apologizing," Kiffin said. "But he got caught up in the moment after I left and thought it was just a Cameo to the people and called me a few names."

"But that's okay. I've been called worse. And I'm sure I'll be called the same when we go back to Tennessee, just like Ole Miss."

Despite the circumstances surrounding his coaching moves, Kiffin made it clear that he still has a strong relationship with the family.

"They're awesome and have really enjoyed interactions with them at both places."

LSU and Texas will face off Saturday in Tiger Stadium. Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
