Lane Kiffin's return to the Ole MIss football program turned out to be a family affair.

Kiffin flirted with the Auburn Tigers head coaching vacancy during the 2022 offseason but ultimately decided to return to Oxford to lead the Rebels.

As it turns out, Ole Miss fans have Kiffin's oldest daughter, Landry, to thank for his return.

Landry and her friends got creative and put together a slideshow that ultimately lured Lane back to Mississippi, where his daughter is a student. ESPN's Chris Low shared the news in a lengthy feature.

"Kiffin's oldest daughter, Landry, is a sophomore at Ole Miss. She moved to Oxford from Los Angeles prior to her senior year of high school to be with her father. In fact, had it not been for Landry, her dad might be coaching at Auburn right now. Kiffin was leaning toward taking the Auburn job toward the end of the 2022 season when Landry came to him with a heartfelt message.
