Lane Kiffin’s Daughter Landry Trolls Angry Ole Miss Fans on TikTok
Landry Kiffin isn’t letting the throngs of angry Ole Miss fans get to her.
The eldest daughter of new LSU head football coach Lane Kiffin posted a video via TikTok on Monday, December 1, in which she appeared unbothered by the controversy surrounding her dad’s move. She wrote, “Wish I could be as creative as angry football fans,” over the video and captioned it: “#ItsNotThatDeep.”
Lane, 50, accepted the head coaching job at LSU on Sunday, November 30, the day after Ole Miss finished its regular season with a rivalry win over Mississippi State. With the Rebels awaiting their placement in the College Football Playoff, his move has been subject to plenty of controversy from around the football world.
Landry, 20, has since turned off the comments on her post, but the New York Post reported that she liked several from fans supportive of her father, who will make $13 million per year with the Tigers.
“I’m sorry but if someone offered me 90 million… BOY BYE,” one commenter wrote.
“People need to realize it’s his job like it’s basically like he got a promotion,” another added.
Her post came as she prepared to travel to New York with boyfriend and LSU linebacker Whit Weeks. In a later video, she and Weeks, also 20, visited the Vuori showroom, showing off their haul to the camera. They also stopped by Radio City Music Hall, attended a New York Rangers game and went shopping at an outdoor holiday market.
Weeks, for his part, has also seemed unbothered by the heat his new coach — and girlfriend’s dad — has been taking. He even trolled Ole Miss fans via Instagram, adding an in-game photo of himself to his Story in which he pretends to cry. He added a pair of laughing emojis above.
Landry’s brother Knox, 16, has taken a different approach. He broke his silence after his dad’s controversial decision on Tuesday, December 2, posting a thank you to the Oxford community to his Instagram account.
“Thank you oxford 🫶,” he wrote alongside a carousel of images from his time playing quarterback for Oxford High School.
In addition to Landry and Knox, Lane and his ex-wife, Layla Kiffin, share daughter Presley, 18, who is a freshman on the University of Southern California volleyball team. She has not commented publicly on her father’s move, but was at his introductory press conference on Tuesday along with her siblings.
Lane himself has addressed the anger, particularly from the Ole Miss fanbase. He revealed during the press conference that a fan tried to run his car off the road, while plenty of cameras captured the crowd booing him as he boarded a plane to leave Oxford.
“That airport scene and all the things being said, I understand it,” he said. “It’s the passion. But they’re saying that about you…you thought you did a really good job for six years for them. That affects you. Even on the plane down here, I’m kinda, like, ‘Man we made this discussion but, God.’”
He added, “Time heals a lot of things, and having gone through this in this conference before, I sure hope that happens.”
