Lane Kiffin Leaving Ole Miss To Coach at LSU

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss to coach at LSU.

Lane Kiffin has officially left Ole Miss to become the head coach at LSU, a move confirmed yesterday. The decision ends his six-year run with the Rebels, during which he compiled a 55-19 record and led the team to an 11-1 regular season this year. Despite Ole Miss being in position for a College Football Playoff berth, Kiffin will not coach the team through the postseason, as LSU requested he start immediately. Reports indicate that LSU is giving him a seven-year deal worth around $12M annually, placing him among the highest-paid coaches in the country. The move stirred controversy among Ole Miss fans and players, many of whom expected him to finish the season. What does the Sports Shop crew think about Kiffin’s move and the way he handled it?
