South Carolina football defensive line coach Sterling Lucas was just hired by LSU and Lane Kiffin, leaving Shane Beamer's staff after 5 seasons.
Lane Kiffin is going to step into LSU and immediately provide a shot in the arm to a ground attack that's been stuck in the mud.
Despite Kiffin no longer being with the program, he still benefited financially from the Rebels' playoff win. That's because, as part of the agreement of Kiffin leaving Ole Miss before its CFP run, LSU agreed to pay his playoff bonuses if the Rebels kept advancing.
LSU head coach Lane Kiffin enjoyed watching from afar Ole Miss' dominant 41-10 victory over Tulane in the first round of the College Football Playoff.
LSU interim coach Frank Wilson coach the Tigers in the Texas Bowl before Kiffin takes over for the 2026 season. Ole Miss has since hired Wilson, and he'll join the Rebels after the Texas Bowl. LSU hired Charlie Weis Jr. as its offensive coordinator under Kiffin, but Weis Jr. has been allowed to contribute to the Ole Miss staff throughout the CFP.
