Rivalry week between Ole Miss and LSU just got a little awkward in the Kiffin household.
Landry Kiffin, the oldest daughter of Ole Miss head football coach Lane Kiffin, hard launched a relationship with LSU football player Whit Weeks on Monday, September 22, just days before Ole Miss and LSU play on Saturday, September 27.
“happy :),” Landry, 20, captioned a carousel of photos via Instagram, including one of her sitting on Weeks’ lap with her arm around his shoulder.
Weeks, a 20-year-old junior linebacker for the Tigers, commented: “Nice dude.”
The University of Central Florida football team announced the “unexpected” death of their offensive line coach, Shawn Clark. Clark died at an Orlando-area hospital on Sunday, September 21, with his wife of 17 years, Jonelle Clark, by his side, according to the university. He was 50 years old. The football coach was admitted to the […]
“Thanks bud,” Landry responded.
The comments on Landry’s post were flooded with LSU fans ahead of this weekend’s SEC showdown. In addition to her dad being the head football coach, Landry is a student at Ole Miss.
“Massive dub right here @whit.weeks,” one person wrote. “Ole miss in shambles 😂😂.”
Another joked, “If she isn’t in purple and gold Saturday she ain’t the one.”
The game between Ole Miss and LSU kicks off at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi.
Lane, 50, and his ex wife, Layla Kiffin, share three children: Landry, daughter Presley, 18, and son Knox, 16.
The couple got divorced in 2016 after 12 years of marriage, though the couple have recently sparked reconciliation rumors after a series of curious social media posts.
After Ole Miss defeated Georgia State in their season opener last month, Lane shared a photo of Layla via his Instagram Story captioned: “1-0!!! Find someone that looks at you like this.”
Lane was asked directly about the reconciliation speculation earlier this year.
“Even though there are reports, I really don’t think I want to comment on this,” he told USA Today in April. “I really don’t want to put anything in quotation marks.”
New Kansas City Chiefs public address announcer Nate Rohr had a whirlwind few days before stepping behind the microphone at Arrowhead Stadium for the team’s home opener last weekend. Rohr acted as the Chiefs’ new PA announcer for the team’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, September 14, replacing longtime announcer, Dale Carter, who […]
Lane recently acknowledged that his intense focus on his coaching career led to the demise of his marriage.
“I ended up getting divorced,” Lane said on the “This Past Weekend with Theo Von” podcast in April. “No wonder that I end up having a strained relationship with my kids.”
Lane said he managed to mend fences with his family after getting sober, and now shares close bonds with all three of his children.
“Now, I want to be a really good dad,” he said on the podcast. “I want to be a really good boss, a good friend, and a really good neighbor. The other stuff happens with the wins. That’s fine. But I was so focused on that it controlled everything.”
