Same Lane, different school. This dude cannot help himself.

OXFORD — It was 12:48 p.m. Friday when the text popped up on my phone. I was at lunch at The Blind Pig in Oxford with friends in from out of town for the LSU-Ole Miss game. It was a simple screenshot someone with a 662 area code had sent him. I blurred the number out to protect the person's privacy. I did a Whitepages reverse search on the number and got a name I didn't recognize. The phone's owner has an Oxford address, but that's not really the point.
The person who sent me the Friday early afternoon text was LSU coach Lane Kiffin. Some 30 hours before kickoff of a top-10 clash that was the talk of college football all week, Kiffin was thinking, at least for a moment, about me.
quote:
Think about that for a minute. On a day when his team was flying to Memphis to get within an hour's drive of Oxford to face his former team the next evening, Kiffin was texting photos of a former beat writer to said beat writer.

He’s such a fricking weirdo lmao

We've talked about it for years - he's absolutely on the spectrum and doesn't grasp social norms.

I’m as critical of Lane as anybody here, but the idea that there is not (or should not be) a single thought in his head except a game the next day is just reaching too far.

When your coach doesn't fly to the game with you something is up.

People are so desperate to dogpile Lane, that they just reach for any and everything.

What other successful coach is doing this.
He’s not a robot but I’m not sure trolling Ole Miss media the day before the big game is the best use of his time. It’s not like he was hanging out with family or something to get his mind off the game. He was thinking about the game, but not inside the lines. If Pete Golding were doing that the day before the game I’m sure everyone would just excuse it.

He hasn't done that in years - he flys separate with his family.

Lane cares too much about what people think about him. He can’t let criticism go.

Was there a text with the pics?
Maybe Lane is a fan or has the gay and liked the guys legs? Who knows? And, who cares?
Not sure how he gets from not recognizing the name to being certain it was actually Lane.
Just an odd thing altogether to do and odd still to write about with the info provided.

sure, but there's a difference between not being singularly focused on the game and sending hate texts to enemy reporters like he's a girl in high school

He is very much like another former Ole Miss coach in that regard

He was doing Pilates at hotworx on game day in Oxford..( as reported on Reddit with a photo). maybe a little more focus on game plan going over scenarios etc..I mean it's just a 50 million dollar roster and he is getting paid a shitload...it's a workday dude..try to quit perving over Oxford chicks for 1 day

Hootie or Hugh?

Kiffin was focused on Kiffin and not what's best for his team?
I refuse to believe it...

That totally doesn't sound made-up.
