Lane Kiffin Calls Landry–Whit Weeks Saga 'Made for TV' in New Interviews

Kiffin used new podcast appearances to say he welcomes the spotlight on the off‑field subplot.

Overview

  • Speaking on Kirk Herbstreit's Nonstop podcast, Kiffin likened the Ole MissLSU broadcast narrative to a movie and called it "made for TV."
  • He noted the telecast highlighted Landry Kiffin’s relationship with LSU linebacker Whit Weeks, showed Weeks’ family in the stands, and aired footage of Weeks vomiting during the first half.
  • Kiffin said he tried to find Weeks after Ole Miss’ 24-19 win but the player had already headed up the tunnel, adding that postgame interactions can be awkward for the losing side.
  • On Pardon My Take, Kiffin reiterated that he embraces the attention and described Weeks as a great kid from a great family.
  • The romance became public days before the game via Landry Kiffin’s Instagram, and Weeks, an LSU junior, was credited with three solo tackles in the loss.
