Lane Kiffin aggressively jeered by angry Ole Miss fans as he enters stadium ahead of Oxford homecoming
The LSU coach was booed as he entered his former stadium, after Ole Miss fans reacted to his abrupt departure last season.
- On Saturday, LSU head football coach Lane Kiffin returned to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium for the first time since departing, where he faced intense hostility from the Ole Miss crowd roughly 90 minutes before kickoff.
- Kiffin departed Ole Miss after six seasons to coach LSU, prompting the university to replace him with Pete Golding, who led the Rebels to the College Football Playoff semifinals.
- During a virtual interview on ESPN College GameDay on Saturday morning, Kiffin was heavily booed by the Rebel crowd; he told ESPN's Holly Rowe, "It's not about me," while stressing execution over emotion.
- Ole Miss delighted the crowd by defeating the seventh-ranked LSU Tigers 32-24; LSU quarterback Trinidad Chambliss engineered a 75-yard touchdown drive in the loss, though top running back Kewan Lacy departed with a shoulder injury.
- Reflecting on his emotional return, Kiffin stated, "A lot of life-changing experiences here," adding, "Sometimes I don't act like it, but I'm a human, too," as LSU prepares to host Texas A&M.
