Kiffin: Coronavirus “magnified” challenges of being a first-year coach

Lane Kiffin has been laying low, along with others who are quarantining and self-isolating from the threat of coronavirus, leaving few opportunities to hear from the Ole Miss head football coach.

In a normal year, Kiffin would have already had his spring practices, spring game and shifting into summer workouts as he enters his first season in Oxford this fall.

This is not a normal year, with campus shutdown and all athletic activities on hold since mid-March. Outside of a couple interviews with national outlets, Kiffin has been relatively quiet.

That changed on Wednesday, when Kiffin participated in a segment called “Under the Visor” which aired on the Ole Miss Athletics YouTube page.
