The Ole Miss Rebels currently hold the no.2 position nationally because of their exceptional offense. This achievement clearly showcases Lane Kiffin’s capabilities as a coach. Moreover, their recent victory against the Bulldogs further solidifies their status as one of the strongest teams in terms of offensive gameplay. Whether it is attributed to working under Nick Saban or Coach Kiffin’s decision-making, it is evident that the team is progressing toward its desired goal. As the finish line approaches, Kiffin’s offensive strength is becoming more apparent.

Having played under 13 different coaches and for 11 different NFL teams, you gain a clear understanding of the game’s realities and who truly has the skills to succeed. The same is the case with star quarterback player Matt Barkley, who once shined under the guidance of head coach Lane Kiffin in his college football days. Today analyst Demien Harris shares Barkley’s perspective on Lane Kiffin’s offensive skills on his Instagram story, where he says, “Lane came in almost with the target on his back too. Just from the exit he had at Tennessee, I can say with 100% confidence that he is the best playcaller I have ever been around.” 

It’s an undeniable fact. Lane Kiffin is the same guy whose play-calling abilities took the USC Trojans to a 10-2 score in the year 2011 and made them achieve a decent spot in the playoffs, overcoming all doubts coming his way. Surprisingly, this was just Kiffin’s second year working as a head coach at USC. Now you can understand why Matt Barkley calls him the best playcaller.

Even though there is a lot of hate remaining for Lane Kiffin inside the Tennessee team for his sudden departure to take up the head coach job at USC, they can’t ignore the fact that Kiffin was the one who took an abysmal Tennessee to a bowl game in the year 2009. Now that he coaches the Ole Miss Rebels, their 8-2 record in the season speaks volumes of his exceptional techniques. However, some people still want Kiffin to take up the whole charge of the Rebel offense.

Former team alum shows belief in Lane Kiffin’ offensive hold

Well, Ole Miss’s exceptional offensive game play in the ongoing season is the prime example of Lane Kiffin’s hold over the game. However, as the Rebels are heading towards their final stretch in the game, Kiffin taking back the play-calling control might take the program to the next level. For now, this responsibility is on Charlie Weis Jr.’s shoulders, and his approach has also added value to the game, but with the expertise Lane Kiffin has, he should surely get back into the driver’s seat.

Even former NFL safety player and Bama alum Roman Harper reflected on the same emotions as he praised Lane Kiffin’s extraordinary offensive play-calling skills and wanted to see him taking up full charge of the team. During an interview, Harper said, “I just think Ole Miss could be even better than where they are if he was calling plays.” That’s a straight fact. With players like quarterback Will Howard and wide receiver Jeremiah Smith on the roster, if Kiffin’s offensive gets into action, there is no doubt that the Rebels might even win the championship. But for now, let’s see how they perform in their remaining games of the regular season before making big amends.
