Dallas, Texas, will be the center of the college football universe starting Monday as all sixteen Southeastern Conference programs gather under one roof for a multiday event known as SEC Media Day. Ole Miss and Mississippi State will have their respective days, with Lane Kiffin and the Rebels kicking things off early Monday morning before Coach Lebby and Mississippi State on Wednesday.

Regarding the two Mississippi schools, you can guarantee that there will be questions about the relationship between the two Head Coaches, the transfer portal, and the current state of both NIL collectives. We’ll also learn about the first-year Head Coach at Mississippi State and Lane Kiffin. Lane Kiffin will also take questions regarding the hysteria surrounding his 2024 Ole Miss Rebels as a legitimate National Championship contender.

One of the most intriguing aspects to watch out for is the question about Coach Jeff Lebby’s relationship with his former boss at Ole Miss, Lane Kiffin. These questions are sure to pique your curiosity and keep you on the edge of your seat, eagerly awaiting the answers. Current Mississippi State Head Coach Jeff Lebby served two seasons under Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss as his offensive coordinator before heading to Norman to take over the same position for the Sooners. Knowing Coach Kiffin, a jab or two to play the mental game with Mississippi State is not out of the question. After all, it was Coach Kiffin who decided to bring the former Mississippi State Head Coach, Zach Arnett, on staff at Ole Miss to help with the Rebels on defense.

From there, the conversation will shift to NIL, a topic of paramount importance in the current college football landscape. Coach Kiffin and Coach Lebby will spend extensive time discussing each collective’s success at Mississippi State and Ole Miss. From the outside looking in, one might not pick up on the recruiting pitches, but rest assured, Coach Kiffin and Coach Lebby will have a message for prospective student-athletes.

Questions will be a bit different for Coach Kiffin and Coach Lebby in terms of expectations heading into the 2024 season, yet they’ll be the same as both will take time trying their best to downplay the complex nature of the Egg Bowl. Fans across the Magnolia State are hungry to continue their hate for the other as a new chapter of the rivalry emerges; both coaches will significantly impact how toxic the game will be in November with the words they use to describe the other school next week in Dallas.

Enjoy the sound bites, the jabs, and the beauty of talking season, as college football is right around the corner.
