Overview

  • Chambliss, speaking at spring practice Tuesday, said Golding is “more of a team guy” who “leads by his actions,” according to On3.
  • His eligibility for 2026 is intact after the Mississippi Supreme Court denied the NCAA’s petition to appeal the injunction that cleared him to play.
  • Lane Kiffin left Ole Miss for the LSU job late in the postseason, and Pete Golding moved up from defensive coordinator to head coach.
  • Golding then led CFP wins over Tulane and Georgia before a semifinal loss to Miami, while Chambliss posted 3,937 yards with 22 touchdowns and three interceptions last season.
  • Ole Miss plays Kiffin’s LSU on September 19, a date now colored by Tuesday’s remarks and online reaction that read the comments as shade toward Kiffin.
