Lane Kiffin has been open in recent weeks about the series of life changes that happened for him in recent years, and he said on Monday that a lot of it had to do with his job as the Ole Miss head coach.
“I feel like I needed Oxford and Ole Miss more than Oxford and Ole Miss needed me,” Kiffin said, per Brad Logan. “How people are here, it’s been really awesome for me. A lot of changes for me personally, I think a lot of that had to do with me coming here.”
Kiffin in recent weeks has detailed how he lost 30 pounds this offseason, and made other changes like doing hot yoga and watching a Nicholas Sparks movie on a Sunday night with 6 high school girls. He shared a lot of these developments in a recent interview with Trey Wallace of Outkick.
“I think we all go through things,” Kiffin said. “I’ve been through a lot, I think they’re well-documented, you know divorce, firings. So now being here, daughter moving here, you kinda get out of that world, you get back in it, some things change. I didn’t think I’d be watching a Nicholas Sparks movie on Sunday night, last night with six high school girls there sitting on the couch and a dog. So I guess maybe things have changed.”
A former newspaper veteran, Keith Farner is a news manager for Saturday Down South.
