Kiffin is a selfish , plain and simple. It's amazing how a guy who has proven to be loyal to no one, not even his Mississippi players, could be this highly valued. Amazing how his less-than-stellar tenures at both Tennessee and USC and a bad ending to his time as OC at Alabama under Saban are now treated as if they never happened.
Yes, he did do an excellent job at Ole Miss... although one could say his team choked in the 2nd last game of 2024 when they lost to a mediocre Florida team thereby missing out on their chance to be in the first 12-team playoff last year.
How does any player and their family trust this guy? He is the ultimate hired gun, with loyalty to no one.
Bottom line: I would be pissed off if I was a Mississippi player. Most of us know how much effort these kids put in, and of course coaches like Kiffin demand loyalty from them. And then he turns around and basically gives them the middle finger like this? A complete move.
Honestly, I hope he fails miserably at LSU. And I rarely feel this way.
