Clemson coach Dabo Swinney denies a report that LSU coach Lane Kiffin encouraged him to “turn in” Ole Miss over alleged tampering involving Ole Miss players. Swinney says the claim is not accurate and downplays Kiffin’s involvement.
The Athletic reports that a newly published book characterizes Kiffin as having “passed along information” that could help Swinney support his public allegations in a dispute that involves Ole Miss and Clemson’s former defensive coordinator Pete Golding. Yahoo Sports frames the denial more directly, focusing on the assertion that Kiffin urged Swinney to report the situation for tampering.
Across the outlets, the core point is that Swinney rejects any suggestion that Kiffin played a direct or encouraging role in prompting his allegations. The differing emphasis lies in how the book describes Kiffin’s alleged role—passing information versus encouraging a formal action—while Swinney’s response is consistent: he denies that Kiffin aided or prompted him.
