Lane Kiffin’s son pens brief farewell after dad bolts for LSU
Knox Kiffin, a sophomore quarterback and class of 2028 prospect, reminisced on his playing days at Oxford High School (Miss.) after his father, newly minted LSU football coach Lane Kiffin, bolted from Ole Miss to take over the Tigers’ program on Sunday.
“Thank you oxford 🫶,” 16-year-old Knox captioned an Instagram post Sunday, which included snapshots of his on-field moments.

One snapshot showed his older sister, Ole Miss sophomore Landry Kiffin, holding a sign with Knox’s face while at an Oxford game.
Landry’s boyfriend, LSU linebacker Whit Weeks, commented, “Son.”
Landry and Weeks, who is one of the nation’s top linebackers and is in his third season at LSU, went public with their relationship in September.
Knox’s message came after he helped Oxford make a deep run in the playoffs.
The Chargers fell to Tupelo, 21-20, in the Mississippi 7A semifinals Friday, falling short of a shot at next week’s state championship.
Knox threw three first-half touchdowns.
Taking to his Instagram, Knox reshared a carousel post by SportsCenter, which included the quarterback’s remarks he made last month — saying he is “definitely not” going to play for his father.
At the time, Knox named Oregon, Florida and LSU as his top three favorite schools.
Knox, who is outside the top 100 at 247 Sports, added, “I really like Texas.”
As for the Kiffin patriarch, he will not finish the season coaching the No. 6-ranked Rebels in the College Football Playoff and will begin his LSU tenure immediately.
His decision — a dragged-out affair that spilled over from Saturday into Sunday — followed the Rebels’ 38-19 Egg Bowl victory over Mississippi State on Friday.

Kiffin, who was the talk of the college coaching carousel for weeks after LSU fired Brian Kelly in October, was booed while on his way out of Oxford on Sunday.
The coach exits Ole Miss after three-straight 10-win seasons.
“It was something that I prayed on and made a family decision,” Kiffin told ESPN on Sunday.
