Lane Kiffin's sudden move to LSU has sparked a heated debate. The former Mississippi coach and the university's athletic director, Keith Carter, are at odds over what really happened.
Kiffin claims he wanted to coach the team through the College Football Playoff. He says the players also wanted him to stay. But Carter disagrees. He says Kiffin knew weeks ago he wouldn't be coaching the playoff if he left.
Players have also chimed in. Offensive lineman Brycen Sanders says no one begged Kiffin to stay. Linebacker Suntarine Perkins says Kiffin's social media post doesn't match what he said in the meeting.
Carter says there was pushback from players. They were worried about who would coach them. Kiffin had hinted he might take the offensive staff with him.
Kiffin also claimed a fan tried to run him off the road. The Mississippi Highway Patrol says that didn't happen. They escorted Kiffin to the airport safely.
This is a mess. Both sides are sticking to their stories. It's hard to say who's telling the truth.
