Lane Kiffin sends heartbreaking message after mom Robin's death

In this story:
While Ole Miss Rebels football head Lane Kiffin prepares the 2025 season, he's making the most of the most of his break by spending quality time with family.
Kiffin shares three children, Landry, 20, Presley, 18, and Knox, 16, with ex-wife Layla Kiffin, whom he's since reconciled with after divorcing in 2016. Kiffin and Layla first met while he was an offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Volunteers and married in 2004.
While Kiffin's father, longtime NFL and college defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, died at age 84 last July, the family is dealing with another heartbreaking loss.
The 50-year-old head coach announced that his mother, Robin Kiffin, died on Tuesday, June 17.

Kiffin first posted a picture with his mother and his brother, Chris Kiffin, who joined the Ole Miss Rebels coachting staff as an analyst in 2024. He captioned the post with two red heart emojis. Robin Kiffin is also survived by her daughter, Heidi Kiffin.
He wrote in second post on his Instagram Stories, "We will miss you Mom. Thank you for everything and say hi to Pops. I'm glad your broken heart can now be healed with him again."


Kiffin also posted a photo of Knox with Robin on her birthday.
Robin stood by Monte's side as he was inducted into the Tampa Bay Buccaneer's Ring of Honor in 2021. Monte helped the franchise win Super Bowl XXXVII as the team's defensive coordinator.

Kiffin's eldest daughter, Landry, also posted a tribue on her Instagram Stories. She posted multiple photos, including one from the Rebels' Gator Bowl win in January, and wrote, "Rest in peace sweet Mimi ❤️."
