Lane Kiffin’s recent appointment as LSU’s head coach adds intrigue to Alabama football’s 2026 matchup against the Tigers in Baton Rouge. Introduced at a press conference, Kiffin’s departure from Ole Miss means defensive coordinator Pete Golding will serve as the Rebels’ head coach through 2025. Historically, Alabama has had success against Kiffin, facing him during his tenures at both Tennessee and Ole Miss, with the Crimson Tide winning all matchups to date.
