Lane Kiffin Asked Rival Coach for Background Check on Daughter Landry’s BF Whit Weeks – Report

Week 5 and the Rebels vs. Tigers clash has begun. The first quarter wrapped up nicely and tight, with the Tigers leading the scoreboard, 7-3. Aside from the SEC bout raging over the Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, a budding romance has spiraled down to the Game Day Scenario. And it’s making some noise.

Amid all the fiery chaos at the trenches, with the hooting of the fans ringing around the stadium, the announcers of the game also jumped into the Landry-Weeks saga. Lane Kiffin’s daughter, Landry, announced her relationship with LSU LB Whit Weeks on social media recently, and the internet broke. The stadium also watched the Ole Miss Student, clad in a navy blue polka dot dress, adorning a patch, screaming No. 40, and the onlookers took the hint. Landry is supporting her beau, Weeks, whose jersey number is 40. Although fans had a funny feeling about this, making it a father vs. son event for Landry.

Sean McDonough revealed that Landry and Kane met each other back in March. But exuding ‘dad energy,’ Kiffin had had a background check on the Weeks family. As McDonough put it, the head coach asked former Alabama colleague turned SEC foe Kirby Smart about a family check on the Weeks family.

Undoubtedly, the relationship status was too much to take for some of the fans. However, Lane kept on Landry’s side, approving the relationship. “Whit is an awesome kid and comes from a great family,” Kiffin said in a press conference this week. “I’m glad those two are happy together. It has nothing to do with the game itself. It’s a really great family.”

Although her social media stunt must have taken him by surprise. Kiffin’s wife, Layla, told him, as commentator Greg McElroy put it, that he was surprised about Landry announcing her relationship on the internet when he himself keeps stirring up things online. But maybe there’s one family member who does not approve of Landry cheering on for Ole Miss.
