Ole Miss football players poured their hearts out on the betrayal from Lane Kiffin the Rebels are surfacing on at Indianapolis.
Most Ole Miss players attending the NFL Combine had something or other to say about their personal experience with Kiffin's messy exit, but all had one thing in common: the team pulling itself together and staying focused on their CFP run despite everything.
Harrison Wallace III dumps more truth bombs on Lane Kiffin's exit
WR Harrison Wallace articulated how the team, as a collective, didn't let any "distractions" get in their way.
"We just wanted to win a National Championship. So we knew that we couldn't let that get in the way of what we wanted to do," Wallace III said.
The Rebels' wideout also credited Pete Golding for handling the reins so smoothly that the locker room didn't even notice there was a coaching change.
"So, I feel like the leadership council on the team did a great job keeping everybody. We knew what we wanted. So we had to keep the main thing the main thing, and not let anything get in the way of that."
"Coach Pete Golding did a great job at keeping everybody aligned. We all knew what we wanted, and the energy that he came in with, we were all behind it. We loved it."
Before Wallace II, WR De'Zhaun Stribling and DT Zxavian Harris also torched Kiffin for his exit.
Harris's claims of Kiffin reassuring them not to focus on the rumors, and still leaving for LSU, were all the rage in the Sip.
"But we kind of pulled everything together and didn’t worry about the outside noise about what coach was going to do and all that kind of stuff. And we just played the best ball that we could," Ole Miss WR De'Zhaun Stribling added, echoing exactly what Wallace III and the whole Ole Miss locker room felt in general.
Wallace III is yet to run his drills at the NFL Combine, something that both the NFL scouts and Ole Miss faithful would be on the lookout for.
