TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — One notable backer of the “Lane Kiffin Rule” winding its way through Congress turns out to be Lane Kiffin himself.Though naming it after him was not considered a compliment, Kiffin said he can see some value in the provision in a wide-ranging Senate bill that would fix the longstanding problem of college coaches bailing on their teams while the season is still going.The lightning-rod LSU coach took his turn Thursday at SEC Media Days, where he ate up more than 16 of his 25 minutes behind the mic delivering an opening statement that included the revelation that he’s given up social media.That left time for four questions, the last of which was whether he felt he got a bad rap for his much-discussed and widely criticized move from Mississippi to LSU at the end of last season. That transaction turned him into a pariah in some places and, in Washington at least, the namesake for the part of the Protect College Sports Act that would forbid in-season coaching moves from school to school.Without getting into what people thought of him, he said he did think the rule could be helpful.“I guess (so), in that I hope that some way for future coaches, they’re not put in that situation,” Kiffin said. “In the NFL, you’re never put in that situation because of the calendar and because of the rules of movement within seasons. I do hope for future people, that’s fixed so that you’re not in that same predicament.”
Even Lane Kiffin likes the 'Lane Kiffin Rule' that would prohibit in-season coaching moves
Even Lane Kiffin supports the “Lane Kiffin Rule." That rule is a Congress-proposed provision that would fix the longstanding problem of college coaches bailing on their teams while the season is still going.
