Lane Kiffin was very obviously leaving the Ole Miss Rebels for the LSU Tigers last November, and ahead of the 2025 Egg Bowl, observers pointed that out. On3âs Ben Garrett used a phrase about Kiffin â saying âCan't turn a h* into a housewife,â because âH*s don't act rightâ â that didnât sit well with the then-Ole Miss head coach. Kiffin famously confronted him on the field, challenging Garrett to follow him into the tunnel at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
The incident went viral, and many Rebels fans banded together behind Garrett in solidarity once Kiffin officially took the LSU job and was introduced in December. Now, Garrett has come out and given more context in the wake of a scorched-earth Vanity Fair piece about Kiffinâs tenure in Oxford that painted Ole Miss in a very negative light.
