I would not have thought it was possible for him to get any less likable, but somehow he does it.

Says even the name “Ole Miss” was problematic for him. Of course, he lauds the diversity at LSU.

Conveniently, none of this became a problem for him until AFTER he had collected $50 million in compensation over six years from the school.
Come on. That is not what he said. he never said that was the reason he left Oxford. He made the comments in the context of talking about challenges he experienced at Ole Miss. And what he said is true. Don't like him all you want but don't misrepresent what he said.

This is detestable, and that is a charitable characterization.

Parents of black football players now allegedly saying they agree with Kiffin and don't feel safe driving into Oxford, MS, which has an African American population higher than the national average.
