OXFORD, Miss. -- Lane Kiffin's coffee looks like someone shoveled dirt in a pot and set it to boil. Mysterious clumps float on top. It's best not wondering what's sunk to the bottom. "It's some digestive thing that's supposed to make you lose weight," Kiffin says, gesturing to the Styrofoam cup atop his desk, unsure if it's meant to reduce bloat, increase metabolism or both.
Kiffin is committed to living a healthy lifestyle these days, so over the course of an hour-long conversation about everything from his vision for Ole Miss football to how Auburn tried to lure him away last fall to the impact the transfer portal and NIL have had on the sport, he sips the brownish concoction until it's gone.
