Jaxson Dart dishes on former coach Lane Kiffin's Ole Miss departure, Giants hiring John Harbaugh

One of Kiffin's former Ole Miss quarterbacks, however, respected the coach's decision.

"Just because of all that was kind of offered at LSU. I have my relationship and my ties are at Ole Miss. So I'm excited for the future of Ole Miss and Pete [Golding] and the way that the organization and program are going to go, but I also have a lot of love for coach Kiff and know that he's going to do a good job as well."

"Obviously he was the hottest name out there on the market, and, he was the guy that we all wanted," Dart said of his new head coach. "So when we heard and had the opportunity that we were going to get to play for him, everybody was excited and fired up about it. I just think that who he is as a person and his identity is something that's very respected among the league.

"From the conversations that I had, he views the game the exact same way that I do, that we do, and, you know, can't wait to get this thing rolling in the right direction."
