Ole Miss Fans Boo Lane Kiffin After He Decides to Leave Team to Coach LSU

Ole Miss fans are saying goodbye and good riddance to Lane Kiffin … in a not-so-nice way.

After the former Ole Miss football coach made his decision on Sunday, November 30, to leave the team for a coaching job at LSU, Rebels fans gathered at the airport in Oxford, Mississippi, to tell Kiffin how they feel about his decision.

Boo’s and f*** yous rained down on the coach, according to a video posted on X, as Kiffin made his way onto a plane to take him to Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

There were plenty of middle fingers to go along with the message, per the online footage.

Kiffin’s decision on Sunday came after weeks of speculation about whether he was going to finish out the season as the head coach of Ole Miss, or abandon ship for another school.

Kiffin has led Ole Miss to one of its most successful seasons in history. With an 11-1 record on the year, the Rebels are ranked seventh in the nation and have all but secured their spot in the College Football Playoff.

With Kiffin’s decision, though, he will not coach for Ole Miss in the postseason.

“I was hoping to complete a historic six season run with this year’s team by leading Ole Miss through the playoffs, capitalizing on the team’s incredible success and their commitment to finishing strong, and investing everything into a playoff run with guardrails in place to protect the program in any areas of concern,” said Kiffin in a statement while announcing his decision to leave the program.

In the same statement, the coach claimed he asked Ole Miss Athletic Director Keith Carter to continue coaching the team, but the request was denied.

“Unfortunately, that means Friday’s Egg Bowl was my last game coaching for the Rebels,” Kiffin continued in the statement. “While I’m looking forward to a new start with a unique opportunity at LSU, I will forever cherish the incredible six years I spent at Ole Miss and will be rooting hard for the team to complete their mission and bring a championship to Oxford.”
