Lane Kiffin's rarely-seen daughter Presley hints dad was back in Ole Miss for Landry

There’s evidence the LSU coach returned to Oxford, Mississippi, on Friday for his daughter’s 21st birthday party.

Lane Kiffin wasn’t supposed to be seen in Oxford, Mississippi, until the LSU Tigers play his former team the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday, September 19, 2026. Did he sneakily return to celebrate daughter Landry Kiffin’s big 21st birthday? His other daughter Presley Kiffin certainly gave us a clue.

The 50-year-old coach broke the hearts of Ole Miss fans when he decided to bolt after six seasons and before the College Football Playoff for the LSU job. He left fans hurt and angry as he boarded a private jet out to Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

After seeing that you’d think he wouldn’t set foot back for a while as he might be in some sort of danger.

His daughter Landry, who for three seasons at Ole Miss has been dad’s No. 1 fan and was the reason he stayed in 2022, also raised eyebrows in Oxford when she hard launched her relationship with LSU star linebacker Whit Weeks the week he played her dad’s team. She also was seen at several LSU games over Ole Miss, rocking custom Tigers fits like her white-tiger look at Alabama. She also appeared with mom Layla and brother Knox at Lane’s LSU introduction as seen below.

The Kiffins including Presley, whose USC Trojans volleyball season is over, celebrated Landry’s birthday on Friday night. On Saturday, Lane posted this picture of them all there.

Here’s where it gets interesting. 18-year-old Presley posted in her same dress above on TikTok, but she wrote, “aussie in oxford” on the post.

Did Lane Kiffin and family head back to Oxford to celebrate with Landry? That would be quite bold, but nothing with Lane should be surprising.

Landry also talked about being at “my house” in this TikTok video for her early birthday surprise Weeks gave her on Thursday.

It’s all pointing to a Lane Kiffin return to Oxford a lot earlier than we expected.
