Mississippi authorities have disputed Lane Kiffin's claim that he was nearly run off the road by fans while leaving Ole Miss for LSU. The incident, which Kiffin claimed was so severe that he had to call a police officer, has been fact-checked by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety (MDPS). According to MDPS Commissioner Sean Tindell, the agency received no report of a vehicle attempting to run Kiffin off the road. In fact, the Mississippi Highway Patrol provided a safety escort for Kiffin's trip to the airport, and there is no record of any incident. The controversy comes as Kiffin prepares to join LSU, leaving behind a tumultuous tenure at Ole Miss. The university's athletic director, Keith Carter, has also questioned Kiffin's version of events, citing concerns about the accuracy of his farewell statement. Meanwhile, several Ole Miss players have come forward to contradict Kiffin's claims, including Brycen Sanders and Suntarine Perkins. As the drama unfolds, it remains to be seen how this latest development will impact the already contentious coaching change.
