Lane Kiffin ditching Ole Miss for LSU ahead of CFP is a slap in Rebels' face

Lane Kiffin is reportedly planning to leave Ole Miss for LSU, signaling a shift in his coaching career despite a successful season with the Rebels. Kiffin, who has led Ole Miss to an 11-1 record, appears to be seeking a program with greater potential for a national championship, as indicated by his decision to join another SEC team. This move comes amidst Ole Miss's strong performance, securing a spot in the College Football Playoff, and highlights Kiffin's ambition to compete at the highest level. His departure raises questions about loyalty and the timing of such a transition, especially considering Ole Miss's significant investment in Kiffin and his success in revitalizing his career there. The potential impact on the Rebels' playoff run is notable, as a new interim coach might have to step in to lead the team. Kiffin's decision also underscores the competitive nature of SEC recruiting, with LSU traditionally being a powerhouse in attracting top talent.
