Monte Kiffin, the father of Ole Miss Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin, died on Thursday.
Ole Miss shared the news of the elder Kiffin's passing on social media on Thursday. He had served as an analyst on the Rebels staff since his son became the head coach prior to the 2020 season.
Monte played college football at Nebraska before beginning a professional career that ran from 1964-66. He broke into the coaching profession as a graduate assistant at Nebraska in 1966, and that path led to multiple assistant positions before he became the head coach at NC State in 1980. One of Kiffin's most notable accomplishments in football came in his time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, working alongside coach Tony Dungy to construct the "Tampa 2" defense that helped propel the franchise to a Super Bowl win in 2002.
