Paul Finebaum calls out former Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin for not allowing his assistant coaches to continue to help Ole Miss during CFP run. "Our main focus is on winning this game," Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter told ESPN on Tuesday morning. Cox and McDonald helped coach Ole Miss in its first two CFP victories against No. "They have every opportunity like they have up to this point to be able to make that decision," Ole Miss coach Pete Golding said Saturday. Further complicating discussions between LSU and Ole Miss were tampering allegations against the former Rebels coaches made by Walker Jones, Ole Miss' NIL collective director.
