\n

When Auburn began its search for the program’s next head coach toward the end of the 2022 college football<\/a> season, Lane Kiffin quickly became the school’s top choice.<\/p>\n

In an interview with ESPN on Friday, Kiffin revealed that the criticism he received from some fans over how he handled the process<\/a> had left him feeling conflicted.<\/p>\n

For several weeks, Kiffin weighed the pros and cons between the opportunity at Auburn and his current job with the Rebels.<\/p>\n

But, Kiffin believes that he took the right approach in the midst of a difficult situation.<\/p>\n

“We screw up all the time,” Kiffin noted. “But when you think you\u2019re doing the right thing, and then you\u2019re really criticized for it \u2014 especially by your own people \u2014 I struggled with that because I feel like I went through a decision-making process that you\u2019re supposed to go through.”<\/p>\n

Three days before Ole Miss<\/a> closed out the regular season, WCBI News reported Kiffin was expected to resign from his head coaching position and take the reins at Auburn’s next coach.<\/p>\n

A short time later, Kiffin took to Twitter to respond to the report by posting a picuture of him reading “The Egg Bowl: Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss” along with the caption, “Just doing some late night reading \u2066@OleMissFB.”<\/p>\n

Kiffin then quote-tweeted a WCBI reporter’s tweet and said, in part, “That’s news to me Jon.”<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Kiffin stayed in Oxford, while Auburn decided to hire Hugh Freeze<\/a> as the 31st head football coach in the school’s 129-year history.<\/p>\n

Before joining Auburn, Freeze served as Liberty’s head coach in from 2019-2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kiffin disclosed his intentions to remain with Ole Miss to his players before a game against Mississippi State, ESPN reported. Ole Miss went on to suffer a 24-22 lost to Mississippi State.<\/p>\n

Kiffin did not want to say anything publicly about his decision until after the season, because he did not want to become a distraction.<\/p>\n

But “sometimes the right thing to do doesn\u2019t always go right in areas,” Kiffin told ESPN.<\/p>\n

Kiffin has helped turn the Ole Miss program around. He went 5-5 in his first season in Oxford, which was shortened by two games due to the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Rebels have gone 18-8 over the past two seasons with Kiffin at the helm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
