\n

Would it be shocking to learn that Ole Miss officials had someone with FBI ties help check its football facility in the days following Lane Kiffin<\/a>\u2019s departure for LSU?<\/p>\n

Sure, if college athletics were operating in anything resembling normal times.<\/p>\n

But with former NFL players now finding paths back to college football and Congress debating legislation that could limit coaches from leaving during a season, almost nothing feels too absurd anymore.<\/p>\n

NCAA Created This Mess, Now LSU Set To Make Dae\u2019Quan Wright College Football\u2019s First NFL Returnee<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Walker Jones, the executive director of Ole Miss\u2019 NIL collective, recently appeared on the “Assorted Crackers<\/a>” podcast \u2014 yes, that is the name \u2014 to discuss the madness surrounding Kiffin\u2019s exit for LSU.<\/p>\n

During a conversation about coaches who were contractually tied to both Ole Miss and LSU, Jones revealed an unreported detail from the days leading up to the Rebels\u2019 College Football Playoff appearance without Kiffin.<\/p>\n

Technically, the FBI was involved.<\/p>\n

“We actually had the FBI come through and walk the building for bugs and for everything,” Walker Jones told ‘Assorted Crackers<\/a>‘”. “We knew kind of what was in Baton Rouge, and we knew how they operated. I remember getting on my knees and looking underneath the desk, like checking for, ‘Is there some sort of bug in my office?'”<\/p>\n

PETE GOLDING DROPS UNFILTERED TRUTH ON ‘EX’ LANE KIFFIN, AND NCAA TAMPERING: ‘WHAT HAVE WE CREATED?’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

So, did Ole Miss bring in federal agents to sweep its facility for listening devices, straight out of a Jason Bourne movie?<\/p>\n

Well, not exactly. But, yes there was a search.<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

On Monday, while Kiffin was fielding questions in Baton Rouge about LSU adding former NFL players to its roster, the questions in Oxford were a bit different.<\/p>\n

What exactly happened with that FBI search of the Ole Miss football facility?<\/p>\n

Head coach Pete Golding did not deny that a sweep occurred, though he offered an explanation that made far more sense than the image of agents descending on the Manning Center with bug detectors.<\/p>\n

“Any bowl game, playoff system, obviously you’re gonna up security,” Golding told reporters<\/a>. I’m not sure there was a hiring process of here we go with the FBI. I do think we probably have a current player whose dad just so happens to work for the FBI and that lives in town. There was no measure to go ‘oh my gosh, come in from that standpoint’.<\/p>\n

“Obviously any time you get into that playoff system and you got guys going from this building to other places (LSU), you want to make sure it’s secure for your players. The video access, everything else you’re doing regardless where you’re at….No, there was no hiring process of ‘let’s get the FBI in here, holy cow, they start looking around’. It wasn\u2019t anything like that.”<\/p>\n

When Kiffin left Ole Miss for LSU, he took multiple assistants with him to Baton Rouge. During the chaotic stretch before Ole Miss played Tulane in the College Football Playoff, some coaches were traveling back and forth between Baton Rouge and Oxford.<\/p>\n

Kiffin was also expected to target multiple Ole Miss players once the Rebels\u2019 season ended, including Kewan Lacy and Trinidad Chambliss.<\/p>\n

LSU\u2019S LANE KIFFIN FIRES BACK AT NFL RETURNEE BACKLASH: BLAME THE NCAA, NOT US FOR RECRUITING PRO ATHLETES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Add in the growing paranoia across college athletics about practice footage and other team materials being illegally accessed through video databases, and it is not hard to understand why Ole Miss took extra precautions.<\/p>\n

One of the most chaotic times in recent college athletics memory will one day turn into a movie that will have the feel of a spy-thriller directed by Michael Bay.<\/p>\n

Just days before the season begins, coaches are explaining why former NFL players belong back on college rosters. The NCAA is spending what feels like every day in a courtroom. Congress is still being asked to fix a system that has become nearly impossible to govern.<\/p>\n

And on Sept. 19, 2025, Ole Miss and LSU will meet in Oxford in a game that already feels destined to become one of the most entertaining weekends of the season.<\/p>\n

PETE GOLDING MAKES IT KNOWN HE HAS TAMPERING RECEIPTS, WHILE ALSO ADMITTING KIFFIN TEXTS HIM WAY TOO MUCH<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Between talk of “basket-weaving” classes at Ole Miss, Kiffin\u2019s recruiting comments, eligibility lawsuits, Texas Tech\u2019s Brendan Sorsby saga and endless congressional debates, college football needs actual games back in a hurry.<\/p>\n

Still, who doesn\u2019t enjoy a good FBI story in college athletics?<\/p>\n

Well, perhaps Will Wade \u2014 or the folks at Michigan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
