Lane’s Slow Goodbye
Lane Kiffin’s exit from Ole Miss wasn’t a thunderclap, it was a slow, steady leak that finally puddled into the inevitable. As Sam Hutchens puts it, the signs were everywhere, and Kiffin’s desire to coach in the playoff only complicated the breakup. Ole Miss made its choice, and the players likely would have backed it. Now the Rebels march on with Pete Golding and a playoff resume the committee should still respect. And in a year, LSU’s visit to Oxford might become appointment television.
