Ole Miss players’ final act of brutal revenge on Lane Kiffin caught on camera as LSU coach left emotional

Ole Miss players were filmed refusing to shake hands with Lane Kiffin in a brutal final act of revenge after beating LSU on his return. Kiffin infamously left the Rebels on the eve of last year’s College Football Playoffs to become the new head coach in Baton Rouge.After his betrayal, tensions were high as he returned to Oxford for the first time on Saturday and saw his team beaten 32-24 in a thrilling contest.Footage after the game showed Kiffin approaching some of his former players to attempt to shake hands and congratulate them immediately after the game-sealing end zone interception by Jaylon Braxton. But they kept their hands firmly behind their backs, refusing to extend the gesture and leaving Kiffin with no doubt how they feel about him.Footage shared by ESPN of Kiffin’s walk off the field even showed some players approaching Kiffin and staring him down, with linebacker Suntarine Perkins grinning as he looked Kiffin up-and-down while he made his way back towards the locker room.

I’m not just saying that because of the loss. I would’ve said this anyway, and since you asked me, it was just really a lot of emotions of gratitude for this place and for the six years. ‘It went well beyond football. It was also my first time coming into this type of game without my dad. It was just a lot, and it was really emotional. But it wasn’t emotional in the way that I thought it would be. ‘I thought I would have felt more of the name calling when we got off the bus and everything. It was much more, so just a lot of gratitude for this place and the people that changed my life, way bigger than a football game.’ Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss admitted there was added motivation facing Kiffin and multiple other coaches he took with him to LSU. ‘Yeah, this one meant a lot more than the other games,’ he said. ‘I mean, the coaches that were here are now at LSU, some players as well. So a little bit more to it. ‘So yeah, I’m really happy we got the win. I wanted this one really bad, and our team did too. So, just proud of them and so happy we got the win.’ Kiffin admitted he was ’emotional’ after the game and the hostile reception he received LSU was beaten for the first time this season in a disappointing result in MississippiDespite being left emotional, Kiffin could not resist a light-hearted dig at his former school and the attendance generated on his return.”I think you walked into a storm,’ he said. ‘That’s what happens a lot of times in these games. You see it all the time. You walk into a buzzsaw. You walk into the build up. ‘The stadium was full an hour early. So I guess I had to leave to get them to do that, so you’re welcome.’
