College football has a long history of coaches with chaotic auras, but none have left a trail of tumult quite like LSU’s Lane Kiffin.
Kiffin is preparing for his first season with the Tigers—whose head coaching job he took after abandoning Ole Miss right before the College Football Playoff. Before taking charge at LSU, Kiffin very publicly attempted to continue coaching the Rebels—an idea wisely shut down by Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter, much to ESPN’s apparent chagrin.
