LSU football coach Lane Kiffin is being ruthlessly dragged on social media after some bonehead comments.
Kiffin, once again, has found himself front and center in the college football world for nothing to do with on-field results. The former Ole Miss coach did an interview with Vanity Fair, and dropped a first ballot hall of fame insane comment about his former program … and segregation!

Now, everyone with a functioning brain knew as soon as they saw the segregation comment that Kiffin was going to get dragged. The Internet is sometimes a very predictable place.

Here’s some free advice for all coaches in the year 2026. If you find yourself seemingly implying that segregation might still exist, then push back from the table and go outside to touch some grass.
Just absurd through and through. Hilarious that Kiffin is the way he is? Without a doubt, but absurd nonetheless.
Lastly, I have only spent very limited time in Oxford, Mississippi, but I found the people there to be nothing but incredible. You’ll be hard-pressed to find better people than Ole Miss folks. True salt of the Earth individuals. The good news is this will all be settled on Sept. 19 when LSU comes to Oxford.
