Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin teamed up with children at Willie Price Lab School to create an adorable video.
The Rebels are preparing for a big road game at LSU (6:30 p.m., ABC). Even as the Magnolia Bowl looms and Ole Miss faces key injuries, Kiffin found time to share a lighthearted video that posted this week on social media.
The video features preschool-aged children dressing up as Kiffin at Willie Price Lab School, an early childhood program.
The video did not disappoint.
Most of the children dressed up as Kiffin while wearing Ole Miss gear and a white visor. One girl reminded viewers that girls can be coaches too, and another threw a brown clipboard in the air like Kiffin did against South Carolina in 2020.
One girl posed with a stuffed dog that provided the added realism of Kiffin’s dog Juice. One boy posed with a golf ball.
Kiffin’s segment comes in toward the end, where he says that he is the real Lane Kiffin.
The Ole Miss coach’s fun side has been apparent this season, especially on the sidelines. He has brought a portable basketball hoop to games for players to celebrate on after big plays.
One boy’s line in the video will serve to keep Kiffin humble.
“I don’t even know who that guy is.”
