Lane Kiffin to Lead LSU, Receives Late Father’s Advice Via Pete Carroll

Lane Kiffin is leaving his head coach position at Ole Miss after six seasons to take the head coaching job at Louisiana State University. The decision followed some key advice from his former boss at USC, Pete Carroll, advice which was indirectly linked to Kiffin’s late father, legendary defensive coach Monte Kiffin.

Kiffin, who led Ole Miss to an 11-1 record this season and an expected College Football Playoff invitation, expressed his desire to seek his father’s guidance, who sadly passed away last year.

Before boarding a flight to Baton Rouge, Kiffin revealed to ESPN that Carroll had essentially relayed that advice. He said Carroll told him, “‘Your dad would tell you to go, man, take the shot. You accomplished a lot here.'” Kiffin’s request to coach the Rebels during the College Football Playoff was denied.

The connection between the Kiffins and Carroll spans decades, with Carroll and Monte Kiffin working together on multiple coaching staffs in both college and the NFL.

Monte Kiffin’s impact on Carroll was profound. Carroll once wrote that Monte Kiffin had a fundamental impact on his coaching, stressing the importance of a consistent philosophy.

Lane Kiffin worked under Carroll at USC, eventually becoming offensive coordinator. He then returned to USC as head coach after Carroll left for the Seattle Seahawks. Now, Kiffin hopes to carry on his father’s legacy of impacting lives as he embarks on this new chapter at LSU.
