Lane Kiffin, fresh off of leading Ole Miss to a 38–25 win over Penn State in the Peach Bowl, hilariously addressed a viral rumor regarding one of his top assistants leaving the program for an SEC rival.
Following speculation that assistant coach Derrick Nix was joining Hugh Freeze’s staff at Auburn, the Rebels head coach posted a photo to his social media page on X (formerly Twitter) putting the rumors to rest.
“Can people quit calling me and telling me @DerrickDnix is at @AuburnFootball 😂,” posted Kiffin.
