If Lane Kiffin sent him own family on a airplane and wasted 2 days of their life just to get NIL $ out of his current employer as a leverage play, he's a true sociopath and no school should want him as their coach.


Hell, I would argue that's a pretty high desire to secure an advantage for his program. And it's not like his family had to slum it through the airport, flying commercial, and catch connecting flights in busy airports. They flew on a private just and tooled around in a different city, at someone else's expense, for a few hours before heading home. What an arduous task

Ole Miss fans are definitely proving that to be true by believing this BS

I'm not even close to predicting where Kiffin ends up (bc I think he's a nut); however, to think he is intentionally doing this to troll LSU and/or Florida is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Why in the world would he put Ole Miss Admins, Players and Fans through this just to 'play a trick' on two other teams. That's just silly.


Absolutely - especially when OM is the midst of a playoff run.

He wants to leave OM but he's struggling to grapple the idea of ditching a playoff team. He's probably exploring every possible way to have his cake and eat it too, but the CFB timeline doesn't allow for it.

I have said this all along. He and the Ole Miss administration have it worked out so that he strings this out as long as possible to do all that damage he can to LSU and Florida as far as recruiting and signing players! Are you people too blind to see this?!?

At the opportunity cost of pissing off your fans and boosters in the form of public embarrassment? And distracting your CFP bound team?

He would be a complete lunatic to orchestrate this - it's possible he is a complete lunatic, but I digress

I'm sure LSU has an internal date of moving on at some point. LSU at some point says, "We're LSU, we swing the meat around here." and go to the next candidate on the list.

So you're saying Ole Miss believes it's more important to "damage" Florida/LSU for 2026, than to focus on their own playoff run?

This is the fricking dumbest thing I've ever heard. So, the whole Ole Miss administration and fooball team have all agreed that "let's frick with LSU and Florida while we are trying to make it to Atlanta for the first time in the history of ths school." Maybe that's why yall haven't ever made it. I dunno, but that is fricking dumb.

IF he’s actually trolling and this ends up affecting his team and post season, who’s REALLY being played here?



You’re Ole Miss, these opp’s won’t ever be the norm

It's going to be really embarrassing if he leaves.

Who cares? If he remains at Ole Miss they will quickly lose all of that anger.

They are on a bye week. Plus, the players likely aren't hanging on every word like fans. I doubt there's much distraction.

The fans/media and orchestrating all of this. For all we know, he's interested in exploring other opportunities and is doing his due diligence like anyone else. It's not his fault the south has wacko fans following flight details. He's not advertising he has family (allegedly) traveling to other towns.

Regardless, he's NEVER been more in-demand as a HC in his life and he likely never will. If you want to leverage the best terms possible you have to make people believe there is big risk of losing you.

Maybe the average fan, but the money people who are emotional.... welp.

The story from OM mods is that there is distraction and people talking about it within the building - I agree it's likely not a big deal but nonzero distraction is still distraction.

He may be doing diligence but it shouldn't come at the expense of his current employer. His camp is the one who allowed the flight pics leak for whatever reason - it's sloppy and makes Ole Miss look second rate. You are communicating to your fans LSU/UF are better than you. You shouldn't do that as CEO of a program especially not one that is in the CFP mix, where your fans/admin have given you everything you want.

RE his family's involvement, exactly. It's one thing to troll on your own time. But to troll using his family's time, if true, that's whacko trolling. LK is a master at trolling but just can't see involving his family with his clowning.
