Who Is Landry Kiffin? Meet Lane Kiffin's Daughter And Her LSU Boyfriend, Whit Amid Coaching Drama

Lane Kiffin may be evaluating contracts, program expectations, and his long-term legacy as he considers his decision regarding LSU's blockbuster coaching offer. However, insiders say the difficult decision has become even more challenging for him, thanks to his daughter, Landry. The Ole Miss head coach is reportedly torn not just by professional pressures but also by emotional ones, since his daughter, Landry, and her LSU linebacker boyfriend, Whit Weeks, are unexpectedly playing a significant role in one of college football's most dramatic events of the season.

Who is Landry Kiffin?

Landry Kiffin, 20, has been a key figure in her father's life, and now she is the central figure amid the public speculations surrounding his coaching career. According to ESPN, she moved from Los Angeles to Oxford during her senior year to live with her father after spending years apart from him geographically. Landry once revealed in E60: The Many Lives of Lane Kiffin how the move brought them closer while Lane agreed it was his "second chance at being an in-person parent."

Among Lane's three kids, she has played a role once before in shaping her father's career. Landry had created an emotional slideshow in 2022 to convince her dad not to take another coaching job. Consequently, sources close to the family mentioned that she might influence his next decision. Although, she herself is a student at Ole Miss and often revealed how she likes being there, her relationship with a rival team player left everyone surprised. 

Landry's recent romance with LSU (Louisiana State University) linebacker, Whit Weeks has only intensified the story. Back in September 2025, she made their relationship Instagram-official, just days before Ole Miss faced LSU. Several fans took note of the timing of the post, and since then, she has been spotted at LSU events frequently, including community gatherings and booster functions. On social media, she often posts in LSU colors, attends Whit's games, and has involved herself in the Baton Rouge scene. So, it may or may not pull her father closer to accepting LSU's nearly USD 90 million offer. According to Athletic reports, it includes robust roster-building resources and long-term program control.

Who is Whit Weeks?

Whit Weeks, 20, is not just any LSU player. He is a rising linebacker who plays alongside his brothers, West and Witt. Whit hails from Watkinsville, Georgia, and he is a graduate of Oconee County High School. Whit has been praised for his speed and field coverage. According to team stats, he had finished eighth on the LSU defensive roster in 2025. Whit became popular on social media after Lane jokingly trolled him following Ole Miss' victory over LSU, telling reporters that he was "looking for Whit" to check if he had covered the "over" after Landry went public with their bond.

Meanwhile, the coaching drama surrounding Lane Kiffin continues to heat up. LSU's leadership is reportedly waiting for his decision, and On3 Sports claimed the school expects clarity soon. At the same time, Ole Miss boosters, players, and staff are also anxious and well-aware of how their program's stability lies in the open. Lane has a history of being open to new opportunities, and based on his personal ties, the decision has become more difficult than ever for him.

More about Lane Kiffin's family 

Amid the growing spotlight, Lane Kiffin's family dynamics have also made headlines. He shares three children, Landry, Presley, and Knox, with his ex-wife, Layla Kiffin. His younger daughter, Presley, 19, plays volleyball at USC, while his son, Knox, 16, is a rising quarterback. Needless to say, he has multiple college offers in his bag. Despite the demands of coaching, Lane has often emphasised family as his real priority, and his son, Knox said in E60 that Lane is "more involved than ever" since making his base at Ole Miss.

Regardless of his decision, one thing is certain: Lane Kiffin's decision to stay at Ole Miss or accept LSU's offer is no longer a personal matter, and the entire college football community is watching closely.
