Kiffin is now in his sixth season at Ole Miss, the longest he has been a head coach anywhere in his nearly 30-year career. With much of Kiffin's life in the public eye, he's most known for abrupt exits from jobs and social media antics.
Kiffin comes from a football family. His father Monte was a decorated coach, most notable for popularizing the "Tampa-2" defense that led the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl championship. Monte's relationship with then USC head coach Pete Carroll helped Lane get a jump start in the coaching world from a young age.
Kiffin's head coaching journey began at the age of 31 when he was hired to lead the NFL's Oakland Raiders. This would start a series of coaching exits that would form a public reputation for chaos and controversy.
From a famous post-firing press conference by the late Raiders owner Al Davis to a legendary early morning firing at LAX airport with USC, the biggest moments in Kiffin's career often had a flair for the dramatic.
Now, at 50, Kiffin is reexamining his journey. In candid conversations with E60, he discusses his path to sobriety, his commitment to self-improvement through practices like hot yoga, and his renewed focus on family. In the film, McGee also has interviews with Kiffin's daughter, Landry, and son, Knox. In addition, the program includes archival sound from his late father.
