BATON ROUGE, La. – Speculation was rampant in Tiger Town on Monday following the unexpected arrival of a plane believed to have flown in from Oxford. Fans quickly began to theorize whether Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin had come to Baton Rouge for the open head football coaching position at LSU.
However, the situation took an intriguing turn as reports clarified that it was not Coach Kiffin making the trip, but rather Layla Kiffin, Lane’s ex-wife. According to Matt Moscona from LouisianaSports.net, Layla Kiffin is in town for a visit and plans to explore both Baton Rouge and Gainesville, Florida, which is also seeking a football coach.
It is noteworthy that Layla and Lane Kiffin divorced in 2016 but have reportedly reconciled since then. Their eldest child currently attends Ole Miss and is romantically linked to LSU linebacker Whit Weeks. There are even rumors that another of their children may accompany Layla Kiffin during her Baton Rouge visit.
This unfolding story has not only stimulated interest among college football fans but has also highlighted the personal dynamics of the Kiffin family, bridging connections between institutions at a time of coaching transitions. The community can look forward to more developments as both LSU and Florida navigate their coaching searches.
