Lane Kiffin Plays Guitar, Sings 80s Rock at Daughter Landry's Graduation Party

Add "musical talent" to the ever-growing list of Lane Kiffin oddities.
The Ole Miss Rebels head coach stole the show at a graduation party for his daughter Landry earlier this month, taking the stage with a band, playing the guitar and singing to celebrate her accomplishment. Kiffin has stated previously that his daughter will be attending Ole Miss in the fall, and that was a key part in his signing a contract extension with the Rebels last season.
“Well when Landry asked me to stay at Ole Miss for her, I did," Kiffin said to OutKick earlier this week. "When she asked me to get on stage for her, I did. High school graduation party in the backyard."
According to the original story from OutKick, Kiffin participated in songs such as "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" at the party. The coach was reportedly pursued for the Auburn job opening last season, a spot that was later filled by former Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze, but he chose to stay in Oxford as he enters his fourth season at the helm of the Rebels program.
“I’ve made a lot of decisions in my life based on what served me first, that’s where the major change came," Kiffin said. "Realizing it’s not about me, it’s about her."
Kiffin led the Rebels to an 8-5 finish last season, but that was a disappointing conclusion for his team after starting the year 7-0. Ole Miss will open its 2023 campaign at home on Sept. 2 when it plays host to Mercer.
