Various sports personalities have been polled about their opinions on the recent Lane Kiffin saga, and New York Giants quarterback and Ole Miss alum Jaxson Dart became the latest to provide his take on Wednesday.
Following a team practice, the rookie signal-caller fielded questions about Kiffin’s departure from Oxford to Baton Rouge and explained that his former coach can just be a bit spontaneous from time to time.
“With Kiff, he kinda does some things that are unexpected. I’m looking forward to his next opportunity,” Dart said. “Me and him have such a great relationship…I’m excited for him.”
On the other side of the coin, Dart also positively acknowledged the return of the Ole Miss offensive coaching staff to help lead the Rebels during their impending College Football Playoff run, which begins Saturday, Dec. 20, against Tulane.
And on top of that, Dart even laid down a bold claim about what the ensuing month will look like for his former team.
“I’m also really happy for Ole Miss, keeping Coach Golding at the helm there. I’m happy that they were able to keep their offensive staff, being able to coach the rest of the Playoff…it would’ve been a sign of disrespect a little bit not letting those guys finish it out,” Dart said. “I’m excited to see their run to a National Championship this year.”
