Lane Kiffin has been making waves in the transfer portal, pushing the LSU Tigers ahead this offseason. But it’s his off-field antics that have kept his name buzzing.
Known for his active presence on social media, Kiffin has been particularly vocal, often taking subtle jabs at his former team, the Ole Miss Rebels. This habit recently stirred the pot during the Ole Miss vs.
LSU NCAA women’s basketball game, where his comments sparked a strong response from Ole Miss head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin, affectionately known as Coach Yo. Her reply left little room for further debate, prompting Kiffin to delete his tweet.
However, the incident didn’t fade quietly, as analysts pointed out Kiffin’s tendency to publicly target Ole Miss.
Despite the drama, it’s important to focus on the heart of the issue. Coach Yo’s reaction highlighted the inappropriateness of Kiffin’s comments, especially since the basketball game had no direct connection to him.
The question remains: did Kiffin apologize to Coach Yo? The answer is no.
There was no formal apology, but Kiffin did attempt to shift the narrative with a follow-up tweet praising Coach Yo’s achievements at Ole Miss. While not a direct apology, it was a gesture acknowledging her success.
Looking ahead, the expectation is that Kiffin will steer clear of public taunts, especially as the rivalry with Ole Miss heats up. The focus should remain on the field, where both programs are striving for excellence.
