Overview
- Speaking Wednesday, Giants rookie and former Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart said he is excited to see what Lane Kiffin accomplishes at LSU.
- Dart endorsed Ole Miss elevating defensive coordinator Pete Golding to lead the team for the College Football Playoff.
- He praised the decision to let assistants Joe Cox, George McDonald, Dane Stevens and Sawyer Jordan finish the CFP before joining Kiffin at LSU.
- Ole Miss prevented Kiffin from coaching the playoff after he accepted LSU’s job during the Rebels’ push for a CFP berth, drawing criticism in Oxford.
- Kiffin had been linked to the Giants following Brian Daboll’s firing but chose LSU, and coverage suggested Dart’s comments could help cool tensions around the move.
