Lane Kiffin flaunts Knox’s Oxford playoff win with Ole Miss fans fuming

Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels have a bye week amid an insane week of twists and turns in the coaching search rumors with the LSU Tigers and the Florida Gators. While his team isn’t playing, the coach’s 16-year-old quarterback son Knox had a high school playoff game at Oxford High School. After a big victory, the coach had a special father-son moment.

On Friday, it was reported Lane will make his coaching announcement the day after the November 28 Egg Bowl vs. Mississippi State. It was also reported LSU is putting together a massive $90 million contract offer and an insane amount of roster cash.

As Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss met Friday, confidence brewed in Baton Rouge: LSU is finalizing a near $90M+ offer to the coach - blessed by the governor - and $25M+ in annual roster cash in its most serious push to gain his commit, sources tell @YahooSports https://t.co/TcySy1MUmg

While that was all going on behind the scenes with Ole Miss fans fuming over it all, Knox caused quite a stir himself before the Oxford Chargers game where he boldly posted wearing an LSU Tigers statement accessory, and then deleted it off his Instagram Stories about an hour later before kickoff.

This is all coupled with Lane’s daughter Landry dating LSU star Whit Weeks — she hard launched her relationship the week he played Ole Miss — and she was seen this week at a booster club meeting for the team.

You can’t make this soap opera up.

On Friday night, at least for couple of hours Lane could escape it all and just be a dad watching Knox, who led Oxford to a 37-27 win over Horn Lake in the 7A bracket of the Mississippi playoffs.
