Kiffin Golding Clash Ignites SEC Drama

Ole Miss coach Pete Golding is weighing in on Lane Kiffin’s recent comments about recruiting, where Kiffin suggested top recruits were hesitant to move to Oxford due to grandparents’ concerns — contrasting it with Baton Rouge. Golding, who once worked with Kiffin, says he’s been getting texts from him but missed the remark, and he’s frustrated that Kiffin keeps bringing up Ole Miss on camera. He believes Oxford is misrepresented and thinks the SEC should investigate Kiffin’s remarks. Kiffin defended himself, saying he was quoting a parent, not expressing his own opinion — and that any class would’ve worked as an example. Meanwhile, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian stirred up more drama by joking Ole Miss players might take “basket weaving” classes to graduate — prompting a SEC review, which ultimately didn’t result in punishment. Sarkisian later admitted it was a bad choice of words. Golding added that Sarkisian reached out to him after the comment — proving the SEC’s offseason drama never sleeps, especially with these teams set to clash on September 19th.
