Ole Miss Rebels quarterback Jaxson Dart and head coach Lane Kiffin have a special bond on and off the field.
Lane Kiffin has a special influence on quarterbacks in his offensive system, but that seems to have taken on a new level withwas recently a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, an honor that goes to an athlete who exemplifies success on the field, in the classroom and in the community. Although Alabama's Jalen Milroe went home with the award, Dart was at the ceremony and fielded some questions from the media in the process.
"Our relationship has been through a lot from the moment I got there to now, and I can really say that not only is he my head coach, but he's one of my best friends." "Whether it's us spending time in the film room or playing pickleball against each other, our relationship has been super strong," Dart said. "He's been someone that I've really looked up to and has been a big influence in my college experience."
"Just tried to help him keep it together because he cares, man," Kiffin said postgame. "He cares about this team. He cares about this university, and that doesn't happen much in college football anymore. This guy's special. I hope people appreciate that.
