Ole Miss Head Football Coach Lane Kiffin has never been one to keep his mouth shut and he is not about to change his ways now. The SEC issued the following statement after he criticized the refs after Saturday's game:
On the kickoff return in the Auburn at Ole Miss football game at 5:43 in the 4th quarter, the SEC has determined the replay official should have stopped the game for further review of the play. In the football officiating replay process every play is reviewed but, when appropriate, the game is stopped for further review.
Because the play was not appropriately stopped for further review, the necessary slow-motion view of the play was not viewed by the replay official to determine if the ruling on the field should have been reversed.
The SEC Office conducted a review of the play and appropriately communicated its findings above to Ole Miss head football coach Lane Kiffin and other athletics department personnel per conference protocol. However, Mr. Kiffin's use of social media Saturday following the game to publicly criticize officiating is in violation of Conference Bylaws and Commissioner's Regulations that govern Sportsmanship and communication with the Conference Office on officiating issues.
Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin has been fined $25,000 for his use of social media Saturday after the game made in violation of SEC Bylaw 10.5 related to officiating in the Auburn at Ole Miss football game of October 24.
SEC Commissioner's Regulation. Football. Officials. (SEC Bylaw 10.5)
Criticism of officials or the officiating program by institutional personnel is absolutely prohibited. Comments on officiating are to be directed only to the Conference office. All reports or comments pertaining to officiating or game management responsibilities, or concerning student-athletes, coaches or officials, shall be directed only to the Conference office. Public comments related to officiating by officials, coaches or institutional personnel are prohibited.SEC Bylaws are approved by the member institutions and it is the responsibility of the Conference Office to uphold the bylaws of the Conference. Should a member institution wish to change the Conference Bylaws, there is a process for initiating that change. Otherwise, institutions and institutional personnel are required to adhere to Conference Bylaws which will be enforced with fines and/or suspensions.
Fines levied against schools and individuals in the Conference are directed into a fund supporting the SEC's post-graduate scholarship program.
Meanwhile, the Southern Miss fiasco just keeps going and going. Austin Peay announced on Facebook it stole USM's coach:
Innovative and energetic are two words Austin Peay State University Director of Athletics Gerald Harrison used to describe his hiring of Scotty Walden as the university's 21st head football coach.Austin Peay will welcome Walden to Clarksville during an introductory press conference at 1:30 p.m., Monday, Nov. 2, at the Winfield Dunn Center in Clarksville. The event will be open to the public with university and athletics department guidelines regarding social distancing and masks in place and follow this release.
Oh, and Kylin Hill announced he is quitting the team at MSU.
Great day for Mississippi football.

Even if a replay had been ordered, the referee blew the whistle after the ball went in the endzone but before it was in anyone's possession. Touchback. Play is over.
K Hill comment is premature. It was rumored this morning, but the latest is that he has tweeted that he is not going anywhere. So, stay tuned for the next tweet - it will be here soon.
In the meantime, who get's to pick up the bill for Lane's mouth? Does it come out of his $5 mil or does some trial lawyer pick up the tab?
They should pay him 3,900,000 pennies a year, after this stunt. He's too dense to know the difference.
Does it really even matter? 2020 has been a shit show from start to finish, so it's basically just par for the course.
We can’t get a break! Enrollment has plummeted in our undergraduate schools over the last few years. We can’t fill our on campus law school. We have dumbed down the law school to try to keep those in the program staying in the program. Our loyalty foundation is hemorrhaging money Annually. I will not even address the statues issues. Ticket sales were not good even before COVID. It is pretty evident the conference athletic bigwigs don’t like either Ole Miss and/or our new head football coach. It is time for a change, and you can guess where that change should start. Please persuade me that I am misinterpreting these issues. On a brighter note, the Jackson campus med. center seems to be doing fine.
Kylin Hill quit during the Kentucky game. He just announced it this week. He's become a pre-madonna.
That's what USM gets for firing Bower thinking they could achieve more. Fedora used them as a stepping stone but did get them several bowl appearances and a CUSA championship win. Ellis Johnson took them to 0-12 one year after the CUSA championship game and a 12-2 season. It's been downhill ever since.
LMFAO. $25K is not even a slap on the wrist. The NCAA must severely underestimate the wealth and prestige at the true Harvard of The South. Keep giving them hell, Coach! $25K is peanuts in Oxford.
So what if the law school enrollment drops? There are too many lawyers out there anyway that can't find jobs. What a waste of government resources. Dial back the law school. Get a degree that can turn into a decent income or go to a trade school.
...but Saban can take unlimited COVID tests until he comes up negative, then take his place on the field.
The SEC treats all its member universities equally and fairly.
Can't allow criticism of the officials. Otherwise it would be harder for them to influence football games in favor of Alabama and basketball games in favor of Kentucky.
SEC Animal Farm: Some SEC Animals are more equal than others.
as an Alabama alumni, I relish seeing the rest of the conference whine about us. means we matter. national brand. king of the hill. top of the heap.
that being said, the ole miss defense could have stopped auburn after the play. still 5 minutes to go..
and someone named “nick saban” took those covid tests. maybe not “the”
nick saban (who probably got better health care and more drugs than the President)

Oh for Gawd's sake 3:43, you're crying like a little girl that didn't get a bid to her preferred Sorority.
We brought it on ourselves.
The shit at Ole Miss started during the 1980s with Gerald Turner.
Khayat did a fantastic job expanding the liberal agenda.
How Dan Jones got into the Chancellor's office, no one really knows.
Jeff Vitter ? see the above Dan Jones comment . . . (another IHL mystery) .
Boyce ? well . . . that's another story.
Who give a flying shit what that little punk Hill does or doesn't do. H's the same fart blossom who threatened to not play unless the state flag came down. Life will move right along without his worthless ass.
Attn 6:08 Thank you for your eloquent explanation. Are you a graduate of the Ole Miss elocution program? Class is not your forte apparently. By the way, where did you grow up and who is (are) your parent(s).
Kylin Hill is awaiting the flag vote to make his final decision. If it doesn't go his way, South Dakota State is gonna get a good running back (with a bit of an attitude).
Hill quit attending practices weeks ago and sat on the sidelines threatening to sic his “people from Columbus” on teammates / coaches.
9:05 - What difference does it make where I grew up? I'm no proctologist but I recognize an asshole when I see one. He grew up to become an entitled high school standout and carried that attitude right along with him to the MSU field. A team is always better off without any player who thinks the game revolves around himself.
@ 3:43, most of the problems occurring are from the statue removal and the left wing progressive movement to change it to a powder puff school. I hate it for a university that once held a lot of clout. The progressives have done a great job of destroying it. By the way, how did removing those statues to bring more Colored players work out? Looks like not too good.
There's that moniker again (Harvard of the South) being thrown around by an OM faithful. I still have never heard real Harvard folks refer to their university as Ole Miss of the North. I'm just sayin'.....
When does basketball season start? I've given up on college and pro football.
Hey 5:49 that's players of color. Update your progressive nomenclature
@5:49, "Colored players". We see your true colors.
@ 3:43 and 5:49, what is your evidence that the issues you mention even exist and what caused them other than the Covid pandemic? If you have any, I will be amazed, because Ole Miss is doing fine in most respects (not the football record). Like virtually every major institution of higher learning, Ole Miss has “liberal” faculty members, administrators, and students, but they do NOT dictate policy, curricula, recruiting, etc.
P.S. I first attended Ole Miss in the late 1960s and have been involved in various alumni affairs ever since. I have never heard a single person from Ole Miss refer to Ole Miss as the Harvard of the South. I don’t doubt that some idiot has said that, but it certainly is not a familiar moniker.
It's way past time coaches kicked these guys' asses off the team and gave them a reverse Greyhound ticked. Imagine Bear Bryant or Johnny Vaught or Jackie Sherrill putting up with this shit for one second!
" I still have never heard real Harvard folks refer to their university as Ole Miss of the North. "
Hell . . . I'm an Ole Miss grad and that's the funniest thing I've heard in a while.
Kylin Hill is an idiot. He effectively killed his draft stock. All he had to do was lead the team in receptions and pass block his way to a higher draft grade. The dumb f**k effectively cost himself at a minimum a few hundred thousand dollars if not a few million.
