When college football’s biggest villain Lane Kiffin touches down in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium to face off against his former team on Saturday, Ole Miss coach Pete Golding will be waiting for him. Likely with open arms, unlike most of the Rebels’ fanbase.
Despite Kiffin’s embittered exit last season which saw him leave for Baton Rouge during Ole Miss’ CFP run, he and Golding appear to remain close. “There’s a lot made of this game and the fans’ dislike of each other and maybe some other people in the States in leadership roles,” Kiffin said on The Lane Kiffin Show. "But it’s actually interesting ... Maybe fans don’t want to hear this, these players and coaches don't hate each other.”
