Oxford, MS — Lane Kiffin, head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels and one of college football’s most prominent figures, has been honored with the National Football Foundation (NFF) Gold Medal—one of the sport’s most prestigious accolades. The award, presented annually to an individual who has demonstrated exceptional leadership, integrity, and commitment to the betterment of football and society, places Kiffin among an elite group of recipients.

Kiffin, a former standout player and the son of coaching legend Monte Kiffin, has forged a dynamic career marked by innovation, resilience, and passion for the game. Since taking over the Ole Miss program in 2019, he has revitalized the Rebels with a high-powered offense, national relevance, and a culture of accountability and growth. His leadership has not only resulted in on-field success but has also fostered academic achievement and strong community engagement among his players.

The NFF cited Kiffin’s commitment to character development, educational excellence, and his efforts in shaping the lives of young athletes as key reasons for his selection. “Lane Kiffin exemplifies the ideals of the National Football Foundation both on and off the field,” said NFF Chairman Archie Manning. “His impact on the game and the young men he leads is both profound and lasting.”

Kiffin accepted the award with humility and gratitude during a ceremony in New York City, where he acknowledged the coaches, players, and mentors who have shaped his journey. “This honor is about much more than me,” Kiffin said. “It reflects the strength of the Ole Miss community and the incredible young men I have the privilege to coach.”

As Kiffin continues to lead the Rebels to new heights, the NFF Gold Medal stands as a testament to his enduring influence on the sport and his unwavering dedication to excellence.
