Lane Kiffin, Theo Von clown Kirby Smart, Brian Kelly while discussing ‘mysterious’ LSU coach

Earlier this month, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin did a little bit of a media tour, showing on a number of hugely-popular podcasts. That included an hour-and-a-half sitdown on the “This Past Weekend” podcast with slapstick comedian and MTV’s Street Guidelines alum Theo Von.

In the course of the entertaining back-and-forth from contained in the Ole Miss athletic advanced in Oxford, Kiffin and Von often veered off topic and riffed about a multitude of topics, usually on the hilarious expense of a few of Kiffin’s fellow SEC head soccer coaches.

A type of situations occurred after Von requested Kiffin concerning the SEC’s “most mysterious” coach, to which the Rebels headman urged LSU head coach Brian Kelly.

“Maybe Brian Kelly. … I like Brian, not a South guy, kind of came in and so maybe people don’t really understand him,” Kiffin stated. “He’s just kind of, he’s a little bit different than maybe your traditional (SEC coach), like Kirby Smart is born and raised SEC.”

At this level, Von — a Louisiana native that went to varsity on the College of New Orleans — took a shot at Sensible’s conventional hair type: “Oh yeah, he cuts his own hair.”

“It looks like it,” Kiffin stated amid laughs. “I’m definitely putting that in the (former Nick Saban assistants group) chat. … (It’s) like a bowl. And he still has the same haircut when he was playing. It’s never changed.”

Von: “And it’s a children’s bowl. Get an adult bowl.”

At this level, Von tried to get again on subject by citing the notorious and cringy viral recruiting video of Kelly dancing with then-LSU recruit and present Rebels QB Walker Howard on what Von described a “Lazy Susan” roundtable.

“I thought this was a gender reveal,” Von joked.

Kiffin: “And it wasn’t like his first one. He did it the year before. I was like, ‘Do you realize you’re kind of grinding on the dude?’”

Moderately than dwelling on that picture, Von returned to his authentic level by suggesting Kelly’s mysteriousness is the outcome from having by no means coached within the SEC earlier than the previous Notre Dame coach arrived in Baton Rouge after the 2021 season.

Kiffin then doubled down, suggesting the divergent way of life and cultures between South Bend, Indiana and the Bayou nation of Southern Louisiana as possible contributing to some SEC followers by no means fairly connecting with Kelly, at the same time as he enters his fourth season in Baton Rouge.

“I mean, you’re at Notre Dame, and then like LSU?” Kiffin concluded. “That’s as big a change from South Bend to Baton Rouge. And the SEC.”
