Lane Kiffin may attend the Sugar Bowl with the governor of Louisiana
The The Ole Miss football program is currently are preparing for the upcoming match for the Sugar Bowl against the Georgia Bulldogs on New Year’s. Ole Miss got to this point by beating Tulane the way it is in the first round of the playoffs, while Georgia earned a first-round bye by winning the SEC Championship.
Ole Miss made the playoffs this year despite their head coach, Lane Kiffinabandon ship shortly after the end of the regular season and take his talents to Baton Rouge to join the LSU Tigers football program. That decision meant Kiffin would give up the opportunity to coach the Rebels in the playoffs, but now, new data suggest he may still be around to watch his old team play.
“Lane Kiffin, the former Ole Miss coach now at LSU, may attend the Sugar Bowl along with someone else: Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry. Reached Tuesday, LSU officials and those with Landry did not dispute that the duo is at least considering attending the game, and security plans are being made for their arrival, people with knowledge of Yahoo Sports told Yahoo.
New Orleans, where the Sugar Bowl will be played, is about an hour from the LSU Baton Rouge campus, which Kiffin now calls home.
Ole Miss held Georgia close in the regular season, falling in a close game in Athens, and will hope to bounce back and pull off an upset on Thursday that would put them away from a national championship.
