The Kiffin Family: A Personal and Professional Journey in College Football
Lane Kiffin, the current head football coach at Ole Miss, has been at the center of attention in the college football world as fans eagerly await his decision on where he will be coaching next season. Reports suggested that Kiffin was considering a move to Louisiana State University (LSU) but nothing had been confirmed at the time. Throughout this uncertain period, Kiffin has had the support of his family, including his ex-wife Layla Reaves and their three children.
Lane and Layla were married in 2004 but divorced in 2016. They share three children together: daughters Landry and Presley, and son Knox. Despite their separation, Layla is often seen at Ole Miss football games with her family, indicating a strong bond between them. Layla herself has experience in college coaching, having served as an assistant volleyball coach at the University of Tennessee where Lane was the offensive coordinator.
Landry, the oldest of Lane and Layla's children, is currently a student at Ole Miss. She made headlines in September 2025 when she went public on Instagram with LSU linebacker Whit Weeks, coincidentally during the week her dad's team was set to play against LSU. As Lane contemplates his coaching future, Landry's own decisions may be influenced by his choice.
Presley, the middle child, is a freshman outside hitter playing volleyball at the University of Southern California. She announced her commitment to the school in March 2024. Knox, the youngest, is a sophomore quarterback at Oxford High School in Mississippi and a Class of 2028 recruit. Despite his father's coaching career, Knox has expressed his desire to forge his own path in football and has named Oregon, Florida, and LSU as his top three college choices.
As Lane Kiffin weighs his coaching options, his family remains a significant part of his life and decisions. The support and presence of his ex-wife Layla and their children add a personal dimension to his professional journey, highlighting the interconnectedness of family and football in his life.
