Lane Kiffin explains why Ole Miss opted out of Netflix's SEC Football show

SEC Football: Any Given Saturday has produced plenty of excitement after Netflix released the docuseries. Teams from around the conference are featured, giving fans insight into behind-the-scenes on certain programs during the 2024 season. However, a few do not feature, including the Ole Miss Rebels.

Head coach Lane Kiffin was asked about opting out, saying it’s never been something he has been interested in. Kiffin says cameras can change how people act. Whether it’s him, his coaches, or players, having a documentary crew in there is too big of a distraction, in Kiffin’s opinion.

“To each their own,” Kiffin said. “I’ve just never been a fan of those things when they come in. Over years of watching them, it’s really hard for coaches to not be really phony with that when there’s a camera in front of you and you know it’s going to be on air. I think we’re unique in how we are and that’s a big part of what we tell the guys. ‘What you see is what you get here.’ In recruiting, we don’t recruit one way and then coach a different way.
