DESCRIPTION

Lane Kiffin met the media in Baton Rouge on Monday ahead of his return to Oxford, and two things he said have gone almost entirely unreported. This is the institutional half of that press conference.

Asked about a former Ole Miss pass rusher now playing for him, Kiffin said: I know a lot of times people think, well, we just go and get the top of the market and outpay people. That's not the case. Then he made the case himself using Ole Miss players — Trinidad Chambliss out of Division II, who he said was choosing between Ole Miss and Temple, and Kewan Lacy, who had 100 yards the season before he arrived.

When Kiffin says us in that sentence he means Ole Miss. He is describing the portal class he signed in Oxford — and it is the best argument he has ever made for himself as an evaluator.

Then the part he would not discuss. Asked a scheme question, Kiffin said: I'm sure both places already worry about leaks within the building, getting game plans out. So I can't really do that. Both places. On the same day, Pete Golding said he is constantly changing signals and needs multiple ways to signal the same call inside one game.

The honest counterweight: Kiffin said all of it about a roster he no longer coaches, in a week he needs Ole Miss to feel the pressure — and operational security is the oldest way there is to duck a question.
