Jimbo Fisher Criticizes Lane Kiffin over Ole Miss Coaching ...
Jimbo Fisher calls Lane Kiffin selfish for retracting permission for two Ole Miss coaches to remain for postseason, saying the move harms players and alters agreed plans.
- On Wednesday, Jimbo Fisher criticized Lane Kiffin for reversing permission that would have let two Ole Miss offensive assistants coach in the College Football Playoff semifinal, calling it `selfish` and accusing Kiffin of `changing the rules in the middle of the game`.
- Lane Kiffin had left Ole Miss for LSU Tigers and initially permitted six Rebels coaches to remain through the postseason after the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, but earlier this week rescinded permission for two offensive coaches.
- Charlie Weis Jr. will coach the Rebels while George McDonald and Joe Cox will not, with reports earlier this week saying Kiffin first said `OK, you can go back.` then reversed.
- Facing Miami in the CFP semifinal on Thursday, Ole Miss Rebels will do so amid Jimbo Fisher's warning that the reversal gives Kiffin a PR hit and "hurts the kids," affecting only the players.
- Fisher's critique fits a long-simmering feud between the coaches, as he surmised Kiffin reversed because he thought Ole Miss would lose to Georgia and then needed coaches in Baton Rouge after the transfer portal opening after the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1.
