"After Ole Miss' 31-27 loss to Miami in the Fiesta Bowl on Thursday night, which ended the Rebels' season and punched the Hurricanes' ticket to the College Football Playoff National Championship, Kiffin expressed support for his former team on social media. "Amazing effort and grit," Kiffin wrote on social media, "best season ever in the history of Ole Miss!!""
"Kiffin, who is now the head coach at LSU, parted ways with Ole Miss on Nov. 30 to head to Baton Rouge, giving up the opportunity to coach the CFP-bound Rebels, who had just completed their second 11-win season in program history -- the other coming in 2023."
"The former Rebels head coach also went to social media to give his input on the no-call at the end of the Fiesta Bowl, claiming there should have been a pass interference penalty against Miami which, if called, would have given Ole Miss another shot at a game-winning touchdown."
Lane Kiffin publicly praised Ole Miss following their 31-27 Fiesta Bowl loss to Miami, calling the season the program's best ever. Kiffin left Ole Miss on Nov. 30 to become LSU's head coach, foregoing the chance to coach the CFP-bound Rebels. He argued on social media that a late no-call should have been flagged as pass interference on Miami, which he said would have given Ole Miss another chance at a game-winning touchdown. Kiffin consistently posted and reposted content supporting Ole Miss players and personnel during the Rebels' playoff run. Miami will play the winner of Oregon and Indiana for the national title.
