Lane Kiffin takes shot at Ole Miss, cites racism in recruiting gap with LSU in awkward interview
Ole Miss HC Lane Kiffin has left his position to become the next head coach of LSU. Colin Cowherd asks if this was a problem due to the incoming playoffs.
Lane Kiffin continues to fan the flames surrounding his departure from Ole Miss for LSU.
This time, in an interview with Variety, the Tigers head coach is essentially saying the past racism within the Oxford community was a reason for the recruiting disadvantage during his time at Ole Miss, compared to what he is doing now at LSU.
It should honestly come as no surprise that Kiffin would continue this kind of schtick, given that he's known for taking shots on social media at opposing schools. But, if folks thought the rhetoric would be toned down over the next 110 days before the season starts, you were sorely mistaken.

Lane Kiffin on how Ole Miss' racial history made it difficult to recruit Black players
The already contentious relationship between Lane Kiffin and the University of Mississippi just got a little thornier.
In an interview with Vanity Fair for a profile published on Monday, May 11, the first-year LSU coach, who spent the previous six seasons at Ole Miss, said he faced difficulties attracting top recruits to the Rebels due to the university’s sordid racial history and the longtime connection it had with Confederate symbols.
Kiffin told the publication that elite prospects would tell him “Hey, coach, we really like you. But my grandparents aren’t letting me move to Oxford, Mississippi.”
“That doesn’t come up when you say Baton Rouge, Louisiana,” Kiffin said. “Parents were sitting here this weekend saying the campus’s diversity feels so great: ‘It feels like there’s no segregation. And we want that for our kid because that’s the real world.’”
