Pete Golding drops unfiltered truth on 'Ex' Lane Kiffin, and NCAA tampering: 'What have we created?'

Ole Miss HC Lane Kiffin has left his position to become the next head coach of LSU. Colin Cowherd asks if this was a problem due to the incoming playoffs.

TAMPA, FL - Pete Golding took the stage on Wednesday at SEC Media Days and was clearly prepared to give his opinion about the current state of college football, along with the obvious questions about Lane Kiffin.

If you know the Ole Miss head coach, none of this should come as a surprise, given his lack of filter regarding life, or just about anything else.

Obviously, one of the main questions some in the room were prepared to quiz Golding on was his relationship with former Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin. But unless you've been sleeping under a rock for the past few months, his feelings toward his former boss are pretty well known.

Yes, they are still friends, but that doesn’t mean they agree on everything, which would include Kiffin's exit for LSU. And yes, they still communicate on what is seemingly a daily basis, though Golding does go a few days without responding to Kiffin if he's in the mood to mess with him just a bit.

But, the story regarding the Ole Miss versus LSU showdown in Oxford this coming season is more geared towards the players and fans of each school. For the coaches, sure they'd thoroughly enjoy beating each other on the field, but it's not as if either of them came out in a rough spot following the chaos last December.
