LSU Head Coach Lane Kiffin Addresses Security For Upcoming Ole Miss Game

(Baton Rouge, Louisiana) - LSU is preparing to travel to Oxford, Mississippi, this Saturday night to take on Lane Kiffin's old team, the Ole Miss Rebels, and security is a top concern for those with LSU.

If you follow college football, you already know that this game has been circled by many as Kiffin returns to Ole Miss for the first time since taking the job at LSU.

Well, many of the Ole Miss faithful have not forgotten that Kiffin not only left them for the Tigers, but he also walked away from the program as they were contending for a National Championship, which they didn't win.

Now Kiffin takes LSU into Ole Miss this Saturday night for a primetime game on ABC, and many are asking if it will even be safe for Lane Kiffin to step on the field that he walked away from less than a year ago.

Knowing that the Ole Miss crowd will likely be very anxious to "welcome" him back to Oxford, Kiffin recently addressed security concerns during his weekly press conference, and apparently measures are being taken to protect him.

Kiffin did not elaborate on what measures State Police and LSU Police will take, but a large presence is likely around the LSU coach for most of the game.

Look, I know sports fans are passionate, but no one should ever have to worry about their safety when stepping onto a field or court. However, some fans do go overboard, and that is why LSU is likely taking precautionary measures this weekend.

Here's Lane Kiffin addressing security threats at Ole Miss as he prepares for this marquee matchup this weekend.

Now, from the opposite sideline, Ole Miss Head Coach Pete Golding talked about how Ole Miss fans are known for their hospitality and that he hopes they live up to that reputation when LSU and their fans arrive this weekend.

Here's Coach Golding, who worked under Kiffin when Kiffin was head coach at Ole Miss, encouraging fans to be hospitable.

Now, before we wrap this story up, let's look back on the day that Lane Kiffin departed from an airport in Mississippi and headed to Baton Rouge to accept the head coaching position at LSU. Ole Miss fans were not happy, and they didn't hold back as Kiffin boarded a private plane from LSU.
