Lane Kiffin has been a pain in Georgia's side for a few years now. Georgia is only 2-2 against Ole Miss since Lane Kiffin was hired by the Rebels before the 2020 season. Sure that second loss occurred this year in the College Football Playoff which Kiffin was not a part of, but he still absolutely had an impact on that game.

A 2-2 record may not seem like something Ole Miss could brag about, but only Alabama has had more success against Georgia than Ole Miss during Kirby Smart's tenure, so that is something the Rebels can be very proud about.

Lane Kiffin, LSU are proving to be a major problem for Georgia

Kiffin has now departed Ole Miss for LSU, but that doesn't mean that he'll stop getting in Georgia's way. In fact, they are reportedly the team doing the best at flipping Georgia five-star quarterback Jayden Wade from UGA.

LSU is the most relevant team to mention there,” Benjamin Wolk said via 247sports.com. “The Tigers jumped on board immediately after Lane Kiffin took over. He will listen and likely visit, but Wade still believes it won't match the prioritization he's felt from Georgia.

The above report is very concerning for Georgia. The Bulldogs already lost one five-star a few months ago, and now there’s a chance they could lose another.

Georgia fans however shouldn’t panic too much. Wade sent a clear message that he may take other visits, but even if he does he is still remaining committed to Georgia.

While it would be nice if he didn’t take a visit to LSU or any other school, it is good knowing that he still plans on remaining committed to Georgia. There is always a chance things could change, but for now the Bulldogs are still in a good spot with Wade.
