New LSU head coach Lane Kiffin's former players at Ole Miss seem to disagree with their ex-coach's recollection of his final meeting with the team. While Kiffin, 50, said in a statement released Sunday, November 30 that Rebels players wanted him to keep coaching the team through the upcoming College Football Playoff, multiple team members have come forward to dispute that on social media. "'Despite the team asking me to keep coaching,'" Ole Miss offensive lineman Brycen Sanders wrote via X on Tuesday, December 2, quoting the statement Kiffin sent two days before. "I think everyone that was in that room would disagree." Lineman Jayden Williams quoted Sanders' post in agreement.

Kiffin announced on Sunday that he would leave Oxford after six seasons to take the LSU job, leaving a Rebels team that is 11-1 on the season and getting ready for the College Football Playoff. His abrupt exit has drawn widespread criticism from fans, media and other college coaches. "I was hoping to complete a historic six season run with this year's team by leading Ole Miss through the playoffs, capitalizing on the team's incredible success and their commitment to finish strong, and investing everything into a playoff run with guardrails in place to protect the program in any areas of concern," Kiffin wrote in his statement. "My request to do so was denied by Keith Carter despite the team also asking him to allow me to keep coaching them so they could better maintain their high level of performance." Other players also chimed in about Kiffin's assertion that the team wanted him to keep coaching. Lineman Paris Wilkins quoted Sanders, 21, writing, "Fax this was not said from anyone."

"That was not the message you said in the meeting room," he wrote. "Everybody that was in there can vouch on this." And though he wasn't in the room, former Ole Miss defensive tackle Tariqious Tisdale, who was on the 2020 Rebels team, took to Facebook to support the current players. "Don't get me started on lane he's been a snake since I met him," he wrote. "And I got teammates that can vouch especially if you was there in 2020-2021 and played defense." Kiffin touched on his controversial exit in his introductory press conference at LSU on Tuesday, acknowledging the fans who booed him at the airport and at least one who allegedly tried to run his car off the road. "It was really hard. I'm human," he said. "Even though you understand it's the passion [of the fans], you're with your son and you're driving and you got to call a cop that you know so they'll help you because you... got to turn around and people are screaming at you, trying to run you off the road." "That airport scene and all the things being said, I understand it," he added. "It's the passion. But they're saying that about you...you thought you did a really good job for six years for them. That affects you. Even on the plane down here, I'm kinda, like, 'Man we made this discussion but, God.'"
