Preschoolers dress up as Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin, the Rebels coach, participates

Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin teamed up with kids from the Willie Price Lab School to create an adorable video.

The Rebels prepare for a big road game at LSU (6:30 p.m., ABC). Even with the Magnolia Bowl looming and Ole Miss dealing with serious injuries, Kiffin found time to share a light-hearted video posted to social media this week.

The video shows preschool-age children dressing up as Kiffin at the Willie Price Lab School, an early childhood program.

The video did not disappoint.

Most of the kids dressed up as Kiffin while wearing Ole Miss gear and white visors. One girl reminded viewers that girls can be coaches too, and another threw a brown clipboard in the air, like Kiffin did against South Carolina in 2020.

A girl posed with a stuffed dog that added realism to Kiffin’s dog Juice. One boy posed with a golf ball.

Kiffin’s segment comes in near the end, where he says he is the real Lane Kiffin.

The Ole Miss coach’s fun side was evident this season, especially on the sidelines. He has taken a portable basketball hoop to games where players can celebrate after big plays.

One boy line in the video will serve to keep Kiffin humble.

“I don’t even know who that guy is.”
