"This is really like a movie or something," said Lane Kiffin when he saw his daughter Landry alongside his boyfriend, LSU LB Whit Weeks, for the first time, during their game against LSU.
It was a perfectly-timed announcement from the couples' part, and it elicited exactly the type of responses they expected and more from the media.
But boy did Weeks expect the wild trolling from Kiffin.
Kiffin's elite roasting, coupled with equally brilliant head coaching skills, has become his identity, but no one saw the Rebels' head coach giving his daughter's boyfriend the full treatment.
It started the moment Ole Miss defeated the Tigers. "I'm just looking for Whit right now to see if he covered the over," Kiffin said in his post-game on-field interview.
Following that came the viral video of Weeks throwing up. Kiffin grabbed the opportunity when a fan jokingly asked about what Landry had given Weeks before the game.

"Tempo," Kiffin replied, brutally making a joke out of the LSU LB.
Lane Kiffin actual reaction to her daughter's relationship
After settling into the Magnolia Bowl win and his daughter's relationship news, Kiffin shared his actual reaction to the relationship that didn't consist of any burning comments on Weeks.
“I don’t know if I would have handled it as well when I was younger,” Kiffin said, opening up on how he felt about the two on Kirk Herbstreit's Nonstop podcast.
“That’s part of where I’m at. I just embrace things just like the portal, kids, social media."
More than embracing it, Kiffin feels like a spectator seeing his daughter's relationship being the talk of the town; almost as if it was made for the TV.
“I saw the Whit stuff and the throw up and all of that. I was like, ‘You know this is really like a movie or something. This was made for TV. The announcers were talking about Landry’s romance with Whit Weeks."
“They show his family in the stands, then he’s throwing up. The 50 plays in the first half to tire him out. He gets hurt. He comes back, and I feel like I’m watching a movie here.”
Landry's outfits and gestures towards her boyfriend might be the talk of the town, but it is Kiffin's trolling that is making the headlines.
