Lane Kiffin is addressing the media right now. It is his first press conference since the heaux high-tailed it out of Mississippi. The presser is live-streamed below.
* Governor Landry is present.
* A.D. says Kiffin was top target from the start.
* Kiffin says he had a "great" phone call with the Governor.
* "This place is different. Having watched this place for a long time, having been on the other side, it's different," said the Coach.
* "Leaving Ole Miss was extremely difficult . We tried everything possible to coach team through playoffs." He said he respects Ole Miss's decision. He called the last six years "the best six years of my life."
* "We don't think outside the box, we create a new box."
* Made it clear Nick Saban told him to take the job.
* Interim Coach Frank Wilson will serve in that position through the bowl game.
* Coach Kiffin says he does not know what LSU or other schools offered him. He said he told Sexton to only tell me how much money they were willing to spend on players. "I don't know what's in my contract," said Kiffin.

Ultimate BULL SHIT......money was not mentioned!!!!!! We all know better.
“Different,” he says. What’s different is the amount of money he’s being paid.
Blame it all on Saban...
Ultimate douche bag. I guess he got his bag though.
Ole Miss: wah wah wah wah!
LSU yay yay yay yay!!!!!!!
6 years later 2031
LSU wah wah wah wah!!!!!!
Saban, Pete Carroll and God. Kiffin says his heart was to stay. But those three talked him out of it.
Played the victim. Came up with a story of people trying to run him off the road on the way to the airport in Oxford. Threw Ole Miss and Keith Carter under the bus. Didn't know what the contract amount was. Then says that he hoped there would be healing with Ole Miss. No class at all.
"I don't know what's in my contract,"
It has been reported that LSU doesn’t get an offset on his buyout, in the event he is terminated early without case.
I guess that just got slipped in there by accident, and no one even read the Brian Kelly lawsuit.
KF, I don’t know if you coined “heaux”, but I think that nickname has sticking power. He may forever be known here as that.
Wayne who?
He won't make it six years if he doesn't win at least 9 and then 10 games a season.
"Interim Coach Frank Wilson will serve in that position through the bowl game."
Really? I could have sworn Kingfish said this was live. OM announced a new coach yesterday.
What about "I prayed on it"? How quickly we forget...
I want to know the back story on the university buying him a dog. WTH?
Cannot take his reasoning as sincere when he repeatedly said that he was not aware of the money when it was all over the news for the last two days!!!!!!
I saw the class shown by Ole Miss fans at the airport with his family present. Reprehensible.
You reap what you sow
6:40, Look up the riots in Knoxville the night Kiffin bailed on the Vols to take the job at USC.
Or go to a home game in Tiger Stadium, then report back on how much “class” you witnessed there.
If we don’t hear back from you, I’ll assume you suffered a fatal stroke from the conduct you experienced in Baton Rouge.
Do they think they just selected a Pope? At 2 minutes into the clip, I see white smoke rising through the window.
7:35 You didn't make a point. I guess you couldn't refute what I said. I've ben to Baton Rouge, never seen anything as bad as the lack of class shown by Ole Miss fans at the airport. Maybe you were one of them ??
You remember the song, The Snake, by Al Wilson? In response to the woman asking the snake why he bit her, after she rescued him from the brink of death, the snake responded, "...you knew damn well I was a snake, when you took me in..."
(It also could apply to the current POTUS, but that's a different story)
Or another way, Ole Miss fans complaining is like the man who stole another man's wife, then complained when later she ran off with someone else.
8:06, My point was that your moral outrage is complete BS.
This is clear from your claim that you have been to a home game in Tiger Stadium and “never seen anything as bad as the lack of class shown by Ole Miss fans at the airport.”
Open you eyes and you’d see less “class” just walking through the parking lot to get to Tiger Stadium.
I hope that’s now clear.
what a bunch of cheeseballs.
the illiteracy rate is 30% in louisiana , and all they think about is a stinking football coach.
8:31 these schools don't care if a coach is a snake as long as he wins. If a coach wins, almost all in his past can be forgiven. The only time a school suddenly wants to hold right over wrong is when the snake leaves them. Only then do they start calling the snake a snake.
When he goes off script during the question/answer portion of the video, he doesn't act like a 50 year old adult. He sounds like a HS kid. Very strange.
Here’s a suggestion for schools giving an extension to Coach contracts: since you think they are successful and they might be poached by another school during the extension, force the coach to pay you their buyout to leave. Kind of like the “Alabama Clause” in Dabo Swinney’s contract extension with Clemson. OM should have Golding’s replacement sign a contract with a Heaux Clause to make him pay big bucks to leave and even more to go to an SEC school. That should help with money to hire the replacement.
Mississippians are butt hurt because they lost Kiffin. Quit looking at each isolated incident of good people leaving the state and shaming that person who wants to better themselves. Fix ur problems. Get rid of the good ole boy system. As u spawn new males, the intelligence u pass on keeps getting weaker and weaker. It may be too late - u probably can’t even see or identify the problems to fix them. Oh what a mess to live in. No healthcare, no amenities, rampant crime, cannibalism (ur people eat one another to get ahead)……..the list goes on.
Listen to Kiffin, he left because Louisiana had a much better opportunity for him to be successful. His vision of opportunity is a broken record that is played over and over in this state. The chosen ones will live in their castles here while the services Mississippi has to offer continues to deteriorate. I may become a LSU fan now.
But…..but…..we changed our State Flag. Why don’t he stay? I thought that would make a difference. Ole Miss is ranked 7th and LSU is not in the top 25. He better win some games is all I got to say or he will be on his way out. He should have stayed at Ole Miss and look what he would have had. Pretty much a guaranteed job.
Like a manipulative teenager of more recent times - and yes, he forfeited his "man" card. What a douchie Dad.
@ 806 PM and 540 AM, I was thinking I'd read or heard the most ignorant things ever, concerning this whole escapade. You seem to have topped anything previous. Have you not ever heard "Neck" played at games? Familiar with "STTDB" ? Have you ever been urinated upon from the top of Tiger Stadium, like my friend was at an MSU-LSU game in Baton Rouge? Ever had your car antenna broken off or your car mobbed and shaken by 15 LSU fans? You really think the "culture" there is somehow elevated above ours here?
Ole Miss fans heckling and flipping the bird at Kiffin at the airport. Ole Miss fans trying to run Lane Kiffin and his son off the road, potentially killing them. These people are nuts.
"Heaux" with an x would be plural...who else are you including?
This whole thing has been a shit show from the get go.
The most amusing part of this is that Ole Miss is so arrogant and delusional that they actually believed that he would consider staying at the U of M. Thanks for the reality check to the hotty toddy crowd.
The plot thickens. Charlie Weiss has not officially signed his contract with LSU and is interviewing with South Florida to be head coach.
Sssssshhhhheeeeet…don’t yall know that how folk drive here since they took the driving test away and stuff? That just a day in jackson. What yall sayin he was almost kill? Yall ain’t done drive in jackson. Shhheeeeeeet he wudnt on no danger. It’s just another day.
