On the same day Lane Kiffin was formally introduced as head coach of the LSU Tigers, his daughter Landry Kiffin responded to criticism from upset fans back in Oxford.
In a social media post, Landry wrote, "Wish I could be as creative as angry football fans #itsnotthatdeep." That message arrived amid growing tension surrounding her father's controversial departure from Ole Miss, a move many Rebels fans viewed as a betrayal after six seasons in Oxford.
Landry herself had built a friendly reputation at Ole Miss, known for her presence at games and her family's ties to the community.

But the shift in allegiance this season, including public support for LSU and attendance at a booster event in Baton Rouge to support her boyfriend, has added to everyone wanting to know when she knew her father was going to leave.
While short and sweet, the post showed her own personal edge to a coaching departure already heavy with emotion. As the Kiffins begin their new chapter in Baton Rouge, Oxford may not be ready to let go. However, they're still riding a Playoff wave without the star coach who orchestrated it all.
