Dabo Swinney Denies Claim that Lane Kiffin Helped Clemson Go After Ole Miss for Tampering
Dabo Swinney denied claims that Lane Kiffin helped trigger Clemson’s tampering complaint, saying he acted on his own timeline and the NCAA is investigating.
- On Wednesday, Clemson Football Head Coach Dabo Swinney denied claims from author John Talty's forthcoming book that LSU Football Head Coach Lane Kiffin encouraged him to file tampering allegations against Ole Miss.
- Swinney reported Ole Miss to the NCAA earlier this year after linebacker Luke Ferrelli left Clemson for the Rebels, stating he acted independently based on internal timelines.
- According to the book, Kiffin passed information to Swinney to help build a case against his former team and successor, Pete Golding, with the report claiming Kiffin 'egged Swinney to go public' against the Rebels.
- Clemson Offensive Line Coach Matt Luke reportedly alerted his alma mater to Kiffin's behind-the-scenes actions, while the NCAA investigation into the tampering allegations remains ongoing.
- With Clemson set to face LSU this weekend, Swinney emphasized his focus remains on winning, acknowledging 'back and forth' between the programs while maintaining his reporting was not personal.
