The real shocker was in the reported queue following Kiffin to the jet.
Lane Kiffin's poaching threats got real
When Ole Miss reportedly denied Kiffin to coach in the College Football Playoff, Kiffin flipped out with an outrageous threat of poaching top players and staff members.
From the breaking reports, Kiffin followed through on his warning.
On3's Chris Low reported Kiffin issuing an ultimatum to Ole Miss staff members to board the jet with him or else lose their spot on his staff.
"He's told them if they’re not on the plane to Baton Rouge today, they won’t have a spot on staff," Low reported.
