Wright Thompson: LSU-Ole Miss, Lane Kiffin and an old fight made new

He coached the Rebels to the College Football Playoff and starred in a documentary about how much Oxford had saved his family and maybe even his life. Sixty-six days after the film aired, Kiffin agreed to leave Oxford and coach Louisiana State University. (ESPN)
