The Sugar Bowl win by Ole Miss over Georgia has sparked a heated debate about Lane Kiffin's departure from the Rebels. Kiffin, who recently joined LSU as head coach, earned a $500,000 bonus due to incentive clauses in his previous contract. However, the controversy lies in the comments made by Ole Miss defensive tackle Zxavian Harris, who accused Kiffin of trying to 'steal their shine' and not treating the team with respect. Harris' comments were made after the Rebels' dramatic 39-34 win. Kiffin's move to LSU ahead of the College Football Playoff (CFP) was seen as a betrayal by the Ole Miss players, with Harris stating it was like 'a slap in the face and then a backhand.' The situation has left a sour taste in the mouths of the Ole Miss players, who felt Kiffin did not conduct himself with the respect and professionalism expected of a head coach. Meanwhile, Kiffin is already making moves to build his new team at LSU. According to ESPN, former Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby is set to visit the LSU campus, along with Texas Tech. Sorsby is considered one of the top players available in the transfer portal, with impressive stats from his three Division I seasons. He threw for 7,200 yards and 60 touchdowns in his collegiate career and is expected to be a top target for Kiffin as he looks to build a championship team at LSU.
