Head Coach Lane Kiffin



quote:

Lane Monte Kiffin (born May 9, 1975) is an American football coach who is the head football coach at LSU Tigers. He served as the head coach of the Oakland Raiders from 2007 to 2008, the University of Tennessee in 2009, USC from 2010 to 2013, Florida Atlantic from 2017 to 2019, and Ole Miss from 2020 to 2025.

He was the youngest head coach in modern NFL history at the time when he joined the Raiders (until 2017 when Sean McVay joined the Rams), and, for a time, was the youngest head coach of a power conference team in college football when he was at Tennessee and USC.[2][3] Kiffin later served as the offensive coordinator at the University of Alabama from 2014 until 2016, when he was hired to be the head coach at Florida Atlantic,[4] a position he held until 2019, when he became the head coach at Ole Miss. In 2025, as his team was preparing for the playoffs, Kiffin left to become the head coach at LSU.
