Lane Kiffin’s arrival in Oxford had a viral you-can’t-make-this-up moment: “Glad you’re here. Hey, get you a burner phone.”

It was a hilariously fitting, though inappropriate, greeting for a coach linked to the infamous “Joey Freshwater” gossip arriving at a school that had to part with a head coach (Hugh Freeze) after his school phone’s records revealed scandalous off-the-field activities.

Kiffin was reportedly “caught off guard” by the comment he is chalking it up to the culture of the conference where it just means more.

“I think he was being serious,” Kiffin told ESPN’s Chris Low. “But again, welcome back to the SEC.”

Low’s full feature, published Wednesday, is a fun read on Kiffin’s final days at Florida Atlantic and arrival at Ole Miss.
