'He's Dust': Ole Miss students rip Lane Kiffin as LSU coach prepares for hatred in Oxford - Fox News

LSU coach Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford, Mississippi, on Saturday to face Ole Miss, the program he coached for six years before leaving in late 2025 to take the LSU job.
Ole Miss fans remain bitter over the timing of Kiffin's departure, which came after Thanksgiving and just two weeks before the College Football Playoff was scheduled to begin.
Students gathered at The Grove voiced sharp criticism of Kiffin, with one calling him "dust" and a "scumbag," while others accused him of gamesmanship, including placing quarterback Sam Leavitt on the injury report.
The reunion is fueled by months of social media exchanges and reportedly involves lingering betrayal and lawsuits tied to Kiffin's exit from the program.
Oxford is described as buzzing with a party atmosphere beginning Wednesday night, with fans flooding the historic Square downtown ahead of the Top-10 matchup at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
Officials are preparing for the hostile environment with added security measures, including mounted police and extra patrols, anticipating an intense crowd for Kiffin's return.
