We previously took a look at James Franklin’s all-time head coaching record in bowl games. Franklin owns a winning record in bowl games, including last season’s victory in the Rose Bowl. Franklin also owns victories in the Fiesta Bowl and Cotton Bowl, which means he could join some elite coaching company with victories in four different New Years Six bowl games. Penn State is also looking to become the first school in college football history to record a win in each of the New Years Six bowl games.
But what about the coach Franklin will be going up against in this year’s Peach Bowl, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin?
Kiffin has had quite an interesting career as a college coach with a rough experience with Tennessee, some highs and lows with USC, a nice redemption arc at Florida Atlantic, and now with the Ole Miss Rebels. But Kiffin’s experience in bowl games hasn’t been the most glowing aspect of his career. More often than not, Kiffin’s teams have been disappointing in the postseason. Will this year be any different?
Here is a look at each of Lane Kiffin’s bowl games as a head coach.
