Jimbo Fisher attacks Lane Kiffin for not letting Ole Miss coaches finish the job

Our Summary

On Thursday night, Ole Miss will face Miami in the CFP championship, with only two LSU coaches, offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. and running backs coach Kevin Smith, on loan for the game. Former Florida State and Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher criticized LSU coach Lane Kiffin on the ACC Network for not allowing more former Ole Miss assistants to assist the Rebels. Fisher described Kiffin's actions as "selfish" and "stupid," arguing that it negatively impacts the players by limiting their coaching support during a pivotal game. Fisher expressed frustration over the decision, stating that it disrupts the consistency needed for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the players involved.
