Lane Kiffin reportedly set to hire his brother, Chris, to Ole Miss staff

Lane Kiffin is no stranger to working with his brother, Chris Kiffin.

Chris coached linebackers at FAU when Lane was the head coach there, and was the Owls’ defensive coordinator in 2017.

Now, according to The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, Chris is expected to leave his post as the Cleveland Browns’ DL coach to join the Rebels’ staff under Lane as the co-defensive coordinator, alongside Chris Partridge:

Chris Kiffin is expected to coach linebackers for Ole Miss, per source. He coached LBs at FAU when he was also the Owls defensive coordinator in 2017 before he moved on to the NFL with the 49ers and Browns.

Per Feldman, Chris is also expected to be the Rebels’ LB coach in 2022 and beyond.

Chris has a history at Ole Miss, too. He was a graduate assistant for the Rebels in 2007 and served as the school’s DL coach from 2012 to 2016. We’ll see how he fares in his third stint in Oxford.
