Ole Miss Coach Lane Kiffin Tests Positive for COVID-19

Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin tested positive for COVID-19 and will not travel with the team for its opening game against Louisville on Monday.

"I am disappointed to confirm that I have developed a breakthrough case of COVID and will not accompany our team to Atlanta," Kiffin wrote in a statement on Saturday.

"I am grateful to be vaccinated and experiencing only mild symptoms. So much so, I debated over being tested; but I'm relieved that I did. I'm proud of our program's commitment to vaccination and as a result there are currently no other cases to report or team members expected to miss the game.
