Summary
- Lane Kiffin researched daughter's boyfriend, LSU player Whit Weeks.
- Brian Kelly vouched for Whit Weeks to Lane Kiffin.
- Landry Kiffin publicly supports boyfriend Whit Weeks.
Lane Kiffin's role as a father and a coach intersected when his daughter, Landry Kiffin, began dating LSU linebacker Whit Weeks during the 2025 college football season. Initially, this created a unique dynamic as Kiffin coached Ole Miss against LSU, where Weeks played. However, with Kiffin now coaching LSU, the situation has been simplified.
To gain confidence in Weeks, Kiffin enlisted the help of former LSU head coach Brian Kelly for a character assessment. Kelly reportedly provided a strong endorsement, stating Weeks was exactly the type of person he'd want dating his own daughter. Kiffin also reached out to Georgia head coach Kirby Smart, whose father played with Smart at Georgia, for similar character reference.
Landry Kiffin has publicly acknowledged her relationship with Weeks, sharing a supportive message on social media. Whit Weeks, in turn, has expressed that his relationship with Coach Kiffin remains professional during football activities, with a more relaxed dynamic outside the facility. Weeks has proven to be a valuable player for LSU, with strong statistics in his previous seasons.
