Lane Kiffin suggested that changes will be made at Ole Miss after the team’s loss to Texas Tech in the Texas Bowl.

Following the loss, Kiffin described Ole Miss’ 8-5 season as “unacceptable.” As a result of the 42-25 loss to Texas Tech, Ole Miss closed out the season with a 4-game losing streak and the Rebels lost 5 of the last 6 games. The last win for Ole Miss came against Texas A&M on Oct. 29.

Ole Miss started the season with a 7-0 record and went 1-5 in the final 6 games. Kiffin addressed the team’s struggles at the end of the season and declared that there will be changes made to the program.

“I’m not going to jump to conclusions because you lose a game, but, you know, you guys have been around here. We’ve won ten games and made changes, so we will look at everything in our program. I’m sure there will be some changes made in some areas because I think the good thing about our fans they know about me, this is not acceptable. That makes us 8-5 and finish the season like that and come down here and do that. There will be some changes made.”

Kiffin explained the plans for the transfer portal:

“Obviously in the recruiting you have to go right into this thing because now we’ve got to figure out all these portal guys that are in the portal. I have to make sure our guys aren’t getting bought, and we keep our own guys. There’s a lot going on.
But staff and administration around the building and stuff, we will always look at all that stuff.”

Ole Miss will have the entire offseason to make changes and fix the issues that hindered the team’s success at the end of the season.
