Lane Kiffin is facing backlash from Ole Miss players after leaving for LSU, and Zxavian Harris accused his former coach of trying to “steal our shine” after the Georgia upset.
Lane Kiffin has remained in the headlines since abruptly leaving Ole Miss for LSU, and his former players aren’t happy about it.
The LSU head coach was reportedly considering attending Ole Miss’ upset win over Georgia Thursday night but instead chose to attend LSU’s women’s basketball game. Senior defensive tackle Zxavian Harris accused Kiffin of seeking attention.
“He was just trying to steal our shine. That’s all he’s trying to do. That’s all he’s been trying to do, is steal our shine”, Harris said, according to ESPN.
Harris called Kiffin’s departure, which came after Ole Miss set a program record for wins in a season, “like a slap” and is using his departure as motivation.
