Lane Kiffin was very obviously leaving the Ole Miss Rebels for the LSU Tigers last November, and ahead of the 2025 Egg Bowl, observers pointed that out.

On3’s Ben Garrett used a phrase about Kiffin – saying “Can't turn a h* into a housewife,” because “H*s don't act right” – that didn’t sit well with the then-Ole Miss head coach. Kiffin famously confronted him on the field, challenging Garrett to follow him into the tunnel at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

Or in all the communication we've had since.
