Summary

Ben Garrett (Ole Miss Spirit/On3) and Brandon Drumm (OU Insider/On3) get real on Lane Kiffin and coaching carousel rumors — a seemingly annual occurrence at Ole Miss.

The Rebels are at Oklahoma on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT for a Top 15 matchup on ABC. Ole Miss is hoping to avoid another 2022-level letdown, especially amid more rumor mill distractions.

However, at the same time, the Rebels, administratively, are ready to battle all comers when it comes to keeping Kiffin in Oxford.

Ole Miss has proven a perfect fit for Kiffin and his family, while few, if any, programs have been more efficient and front-leading in the NIL space than the Rebels.

As far as actual game matters, Ole Miss, against the Sooners, will be tested by the toughest defense it’s faced so far. Ben and Brandon each give three reasons why Rebels and the Sooners come out with a win. The teams are in the second of six straight seasons playing one another.

0:42.5	like i think it's hilarious i don't think much of it i actually loved it i believe brent venables
0:49.3	called it a compliment because he was just like you know what it's lane it's i'll take it as a compliment but lane is a national treasure he was just like, you know what, it's Lane. I'll take it as a compliment.
