Life is great at the moment for Lane Kiffin on and off the field. Ole Miss is currently No. 6 in the College Football Playoff rankings. Meanwhile, Kiffin’s son is getting some quality reps as a quarterback at Oxford High School.
During his Monday press conference, Kiffin was asked about what it’s like to watch Knox play. Kiffin explained that he’s extremely proud but also tries to keep a low profile.
“I don’t much. I stay out of it. I think Coach [Christopher] Cutcliffe does a great job with the team, with the offense, with the quarterbacks specifically. I just was never going to be that parent because I’ve dealt with a lot of parents like that and especially at that position,” Kiffin said. “I try to be the refreshing quarterback parent.”
The 6-2 Knox Kiffin is in the Class of 2028 and visited Alabama over the weekend. Kiffin added that it’s even more special when his daughter is in the crowd with him.
“I’m just excited that he gets the opportunity to play. They’ve got such a cool team and they have all these comebacks. It was just awesome to watch,” Kiffin said. “The whole thing is really cool watching him and then Landry my daughter is next to me watching him.”
