Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss are already moving in separate directions after his decision to depart for LSU. He wanted to finish out the season with the Rebels, who are 11-1 and on the verge of the first College Football Playoff appearance in program history.
That idea was shot down by Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter, who asked Kiffin not to attend a consequential team meeting Sunday where the players learned defensive coordinator Pete Golding would take over as head coach. Now that a few days have gone by, Carter discussed Kiffin’s chaotic exit with ESPN’s Marty Smith, where the Ole Miss AD shared that he wished the departure went a different way.
