The passing of Monte Kiffin is a loss for the football community, but it is most centrally a loss for the Kiffin family and the son who learned so much from his father. Lane Kiffin tweeted two pictures from his childhood. In the two pictures, Lane is with his dad, Monte Kiffin, who died on Thursday at age 84. Lane Kiffin, who spent several years at USC — many as a coordinator and a few as head coach — is now the head coach of Ole Miss. He is entering a season in which the Rebels have a chance to make the College Football Playoff in the eyes of many experts.
College Sports Wire has more on Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss in 2024:
Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels have been living off loading up the roster through the transfer portal and the 2024 team will be no different. The Rebels won a school-record 11 games last season and the roster is ready to challenge for the SEC title. For that to happen, Kiffin will need to find a way to compete with Georgia, Texas, and Alabama. This year the Rebels only draw Georgia in the regular season but likely have to play one of the three should they make it to Atlanta for conference title game.
