In explaining his decision to leave Ole Miss for LSU, Lane Kiffin seems willing to invoke Ole Miss's struggle to distance itself from symbols like the Confederate flag, Colonel Rebel, and the nickname "Ole Miss" itself.
When he was coaching there, Kiffin says, top recruits would tell him, “‘Hey, coach, we really like you. But my grandparents aren’t letting me move to Oxford, Mississippi.’ That doesn’t come up when you say Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Parents were sitting here this weekend saying the campus’s diversity feels so great: ‘It feels like there’s no segregation’” https://t.co/kNueefe5qK
Kudo’s to @finebaum getting the SCRIBE 📜 that penned the @VanityFair piece on @Lane_Kiffin and unbelievably @chrissmithnymag said Lane had trepidation after speaking to the issue of “race”and asked to speak to it again to clear the air realizing it could hurt @OleMiss and then as he addressed it again he said essentially the same thing. We’ve spent a lot of time discussing dangerous rhetoric politically in🇺🇸and you’d think Lane would have gotten the memo. I’m on record that I’ve always liked Lane. This? However has ZERO defense and absolutely demands a public apology from him and the sooner the better. A leader of men has to know his words matter.🤦♂️
I can’t believe I’m doing this. I think Lane Kiffin is full of it with what he said today. He’s a great coach but he’s a better button pusher.
Ole Miss’s past with certain stuff isn’t great but that has nothing to do with present day.
