Even Lane Kiffin Likes the 'Lane Kiffin Rule' that Would Prohibit in-Season Coaching Moves
- On Wednesday, Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding addressed tampering allegations during his first SEC media days appearance, stating 'I don't get into feelings, to be honest with you. We've got a compliance department, and they get paid to do their job' when pressed about NCAA questions regarding transfer Luke Ferrelli.
- Clemson coach Dabo Swinney sparked the dispute by accusing Golding's program of improperly contacting Ferrelli, who signed with Ole Miss reportedly 20 days after beginning classes at Clemson, prompting the NCAA to warn member schools in February of harsh penalties for tampering.
- Defending his program's actions, Golding argued the transfer system inherently disadvantages coaches and players, questioning 'Would you quit your job before interviewing for another job or being offered another job? No, nobody would,' and noting coaches frequently receive contact from other athletic departments.
- Swinney escalated his response by demanding congressional intervention, saying college football needs 'congressional help' to establish enforceable guardrails, while Lane Kiffin acknowledged Thursday that the so-called Lane Kiffin Rule restricting in-season coaching moves should be fixed for future coaches.
- Golding's candid recruiting pitch proved effective in retaining star quarterback Trinidad Chambliss and running back Kewan Lacy despite Lane Kiffin's seven-year, $91 million LSU deal, positioning Ole Miss as playoff contenders with Chambliss returning off a 3,900-yard, 22-touchdown season.
