Ole Miss DT Jon Seaton mocks Lane Kiffin departure for LSU in viral TikTok video
Ole Miss players have begun to push back on the narrative that everything was completely hunky dory with Lane Kiffin‘s departure for LSU. Some in not-so-subtle fashion.
Defensive tackle Jon Seaton chimed in with a hilarious TikTok sketch mimicking what happens when college football coaches win too much. Dressed in white Ole Miss gear, Seaton begins acting out a sketch.
“All right guys, bring it up,” Seaton said, imitating how a coach might call the guys together for a postseason meeting. “Great job this year, amazing season. The best we’ve ever had. Moving forward to next year…”
As Seaton continues, a phone begins ringing in his pocket. He stops what he’s saying to the completely fake audience and takes the call.
“Oh, that’s me, hold on,” he said, before speaking to a fake agent. “Mike, what’s up, man, how we living? You said how much?!?”
After having a conversation ostensibly about another job, Seaton then turns back to his players and begins to make his exit. Perhaps an easy-to-read comparison to Lane Kiffin and his Ole Miss departure?
“All right guys, you know what,” Seaton said, swatting his hand down. “I mean you understand, right?”
As Seaton walks away, he takes the Ole Miss visor off his head and chucks it down onto the stadium turf as he walks out. The TikTok video sound comes in and the video ends.

Of course, what will not end anytime soon is making sense of the fallout of Kiffin’s historic move to LSU. Before Seaton’s TikTok sketch dropped, multiple other players had weighed in on one aspect of the Kiffin narrative.
That was whether the team had asked Kiffin to coach the team through the College Football Playoff, like Kiffin claimed in a personal statement posted to Twitter after his departure. In fact, multiple players refuted that idea.
“‘Despite the team asking me to keep coaching,’” wrote offensive lineman Brycen Sanders on Twitter. “I think everyone that was in that room would disagree.”
Further disputes of that Lane Kiffin narrative arrived on Wednesday evening. Added defensive star Suntarine Perkins, a little after Sanders:
“That was not the message you said in the meeting room,” Perkins wrote. “Everybody that was in there can vouch on this.”
