Lane Kiffin is reportedly expected to attend Ole Miss’ college football playoff quarterfinal game, weeks after leaving the school.

On Tuesday, Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger reported that there was a possibility that Kiffin could attend the Sugar Bowl game between Ole Miss and Georgia in New Orleans with Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry.

Lane Kiffin, the former Ole Miss coach now at LSU, may attend the Sugar Bowl along with someone else: Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry. Reached on Tuesday, officials at LSU and those with Landry did not dispute that the duo is at least considering attending the game, and security plans are being made for their arrival, those with knowledge told Yahoo Sports.

ON3’s Chris Low confirmed Dellenger’s report and added that Kiffin has reached out to ESPN about possibly being on the broadcast.

Several people at Ole Miss and LSU expect Kiffin to attend the Sugar Bowl, perhaps with Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry. Sources told On3 that Kiffin has even reached out to ESPN personnel about possibly appearing in the broadcast booth for a segment during the game, although sources say ESPN hasn’t been receptive.

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of reception Kiffin gets from the Ole Miss faithful who have travelled to New Orleans for the team’s big game.
