Lane Kiffin Calls Out Hugh Freeze For Stealing Coaches After NIL Compliment From Freeze

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin didn't seem to be too interested in Hugh Freeze's compliments directed toward the Rebels' NIL operations on Wednesday and responded by calling out Freeze for 'stealing coaches.' Per SDS:

“I think in the new world, that’s become harder and harder to do and you’re constantly searching ways with this new way of transferring and NIL to figure out exactly how to do it,” Freeze said during the weekly SEC teleconference on Wednesday. “I think there’s some who are doing it well, if you look at like Ole Miss and Missouri, I think they’ve done some really good things it looks like and trying to use NIL to their advantage and they’ve been able to maintain a winning edge.”

Kiffin appreciated the comments, but put Freeze on blast toward the end of his response.

“That’s nice of him,” Kiffin said on the Wednesday SEC teleconference. “I’m sure he’ll try to steal Walker Jones (head of The Grove Collective) like he did all our coaches.”
