This weekend, one of the bigger games in a loaded college football slate is LSU visiting Ole Miss. There was also an added layer to the game this week because Lane Kiffin’s daughter, Landry, took to social media the week of the game to come out and publicly reveal that she’s dating LSU linebacker Whit Weeks via Instagram.
The announcement naturally led to some hilarious reactions across social media, and Lane Kiffin also got in on the action. Still, speaking to the media, he seriously addressed the relationship and said that he likes Weeks and his family and is happy for them.
Kiffin said, “Whit is an awesome kid from a great family. I’m glad those two are happy together.”
These comments came after he had fun on social media after the news broke. He first responded to a few posts, saying, “Take the over,” indicating he would love to run up the score on his daughter’s boyfriend if given the chance in a tongue-in-cheek way.
Then, he retweeted a post he made back in May of him, his wife, and Landry when she was a baby at the beach, and said that she would, in fact, be rooting for the Rebels on Saturday.
The game itself should be a great matchup between two of the better teams in the SEC, and then this storyline only adds to the fun factor between two teams that could be competing for a College Football Playoff spot. It is also a great storyline because Lane Kiffin is one of the more fun coaches in college football.
