It’s high time for college football to take their lucky charms seriously! And guess who needs to know this most at the moment? Of course, Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels. Looks like, knowing that the Rebels do not have their lucky charm, the HC’s daughter around, Billy Napier, and the Florida Gators made the most out of the situation. On November 23, they crushed Ole Miss to mere specks of dust, 24-17. But so what? The No.1 fan of Kiffin’s team is busy living her best life.
The No. 9 Rebels fell to 8-3 (4-3 SEC) on the season after losing to the Gators in Gainesville. Now that’s something that Kiffin and co. had not expected. After all, the Rebels were reigning high and had an 84% chance to make it to the playoffs with a win. However, the 10-point favorite Ole Miss lost for the first time in four games as they faltered in scoring three trips inside the red zone. Kiffin’s boys even had a hard time as they dropped countless passes. The Gators also chose to multiply their pain by sacking the Rebels QB Jaxson Dart FOUR TIMES! Well, such back-to-back blunders are not common for Kiffin’s program. There must have been something wrong on Saturday, right? Yes, after all, their lucky charm, Lane Kiffin’s daughter, Landry was not present in the stadium, that’s what made their fortune tank run dry. On the game day, while the Gators were stripping off the Rebels on the gridiron, Kiffin’s daughter was busy living her best life.
Unlike dad’s team, Landry has been consistent all season long. Kiffin’s daughter maintains a streak on social media sharing her fit checks with her online fam. Saturday was no different. While the Gators defeated the Rebels, who dozed off all their hopes for the playoffs, Landry was busy slaying on IG. As her dad’s team took the L, the 19-year-old Ole Miss sophomore was spotted enjoying with her friend. On her friend Savannah’s 21st birthday, Kiffin’s daughter looked as gorgeous as usual donning a black colored bodycon dress. In another story, she shared some Christmas decorations. However, staying away from the fam during the important game, she did miss out on something special.

Landry Kiffin keeps the vibes high while dad Lane Kiffin’s team falls short
The full-packed Kiffin fam was spotted in the picture with the HC in the middle surrounded by his son Knox, and daughter Presley along with a bunch of close pals on the Game Day. Unfortunately, Landry could not make up for the group pic. Already this season is a bit tough for the Rebels HC since he lost his father, the legendary Monte Kiffin at the age of 84 back in July. Even in his last days, the ex-Nebraska DC has spread his coaching magic over his son’s program. Now that Monte had left for the heavenly abode, HC Kiffin thought of paying his late father a tribute.
So the Rebels HC posted the picture on X and wrote, “Hi Dad. We are all here. 💙. Miss you.” But maybe there might have been some serious reason behind Landry not being able to fly off to Gainesville. After all, her past gestures were enough to prove herself as the No.1 Ole Miss fan. Do you know that it was Landry who convinced her dad to stay in Ole Miss?
Yes, had it not been for his daughter, Lane Kiffin by now would have been coaching the Auburn Tigers. So now that her dad listened to her request, she had to make him feel special. As the Rebels hit a major milestone, securing their 100th win by defeating the South Carolina Gamecocks, Landry gifted her dad a special cake with a sweet message written on it “100 wins.” Now let’s see how she makes up for her absence this time.
