When Lane Kiffin isn’t on the field coaching Ole Miss, he loves the comfort of his loving family. Father of two daughters — Landry Kiffin (20), Presley Kiffin (18) — and one son Knox Kiffin (16), the 49-year-old is a family man. And he’s more than proud of their progress over the years. His recent social media upload is a testament of how close he keeps his family in his heart and mind.

This is a heartwarming portrayal of a loving father who saw his daughters grow from little princesses to strong women. Landry and Presley returned his affection with their love and respect for their HC father. Like her father, Landry is also part of Ole Miss as a sophomore and shares a big part of Lane Kiffin’s football wins. The highlight of their shared celebration might be their embrace following their 28-11 win over Georgia in Week 11. Landry ran across the field to hug her father but it was more than just a hug. Later, the Rebels HC said, “It was a cool moment. I got really caught up in all the stuff. Just for her to hug and say, ‘Pops would be really proud of you,’ was a special moment.”

Just like his affection for Landry, Lane Kiffin often displays his pride in his younger daughter. When Presley Kiffin first joined USC, he couldn’t be more proud. “Time flies,” he wrote as he posted two photos of Presley – a young one and her current version. Now, she’s made it to the USC women’s volleyball team and she announced it on her social media. Presley is finally about to rock the No. 1 Trojans jersey at a school Lane Kiffin previously coached at. “So proud,” he commented on her post. His affection for Knox is no different despite him living away from him with his ex-wife Layla Kiffin.

Lane Kiffin gets a second chance with his family

The fact that Knox Kiffin lived with his mother in Los Angeles didn’t diminish Lane Kiffin’s affection for him. And it’s their mutual interest in football that strengthens their bond. At just 15, Knox has proven himself as a dynamic HS QB and has already secured offers from programs like Arkansas State and SMU. While the separation caused some kind of rift between them, the Kiffin family made a revolutionary resolution in 2025.

There had been speculation leading up to the ultimate reunion of Lane Kiffin and Layla Kiffin after their divorce in 2016. But the Rebels HC has confirmed that both his wife and son will be moving to Oxford. And another win for Ole Miss is that junior QB Knox will enroll at Oxford High. Things are kicking off to a great start for the Kiffins in 2025. 

It’s not just Lane Kiffin’s gridiron feats that incites fans’ interest. But it’s his affectionate relationship with his family that melts hearts.
