The College Football Playoff anticipation is bubbling in the Grove, but it in no way means that Ole Miss fans are done piling on Lane Kiffin.
Better yet, the trashing is just getting started.
While several Ole Miss players have already put Kiffin on blast for leaving the Rebels right before the College Football Playoff, none of them were as brutally straightforward as Jared Foster's.
Lane Kiffin finally starts getting the hate from Ole Miss fans
According to The Athletic, Foster dunked on Kiffin for stringing along multiple fan bases and then playing victim when he finally made the choice.
“When you literally have the answer to something, and you pretend you don’t, and when you feel guilty about the decision you made but you blame everybody else, that’s narcissism, OK?” Foster said.
Kiffin tried throwing Ole Miss AD Keith Carter under the bus for not letting him coach in the Playoff, when the 'no commitment, no Playoff coaching' clause had already been a non-negotiable before Kiffin made the decision.
Foster pretexted the victim card ruse for calling out his same pattern of ditching the program whenever a tempting opportunity presents itself.
“I think every human in their life may have an experience like that. But when it’s a consistent thing that happens in every location you’ve been to, you have to start to wonder if that’s a permanent trait. And if so, Ole Miss’ football players are in better hands.”
Golding's commitment to revamping the staff and giving the Tulane rematch his all makes Foster's last sentence a lot more believable.
The rage against Kiffin will continue flowing through Oxford even if the Lane train has moved on. For now, however, the Rebels have more important things to worry about, like winning the first game in their first CFP-appearance ever.
