Mississippi football coach Lane Kiffin was on the sidelines for Friday's LHSAA playoff game between Isidore Newman School and Episcopal High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  

Newman is led by quarterback Arch Manning, the No. 1-rated recruit in 247 Sports Composite Rankings in the Class of 2023.

Newman defeated Episcopal 37-6, clinching a spot in the Division III semifinals. 

In the bleachers for the game was legendary Ole Miss quarterback Archie Manning, who is Arch's grandfather.

Kiffin showed up for the game wearing khaki pants, light blue sneakers, a light blue hooded sweatshirt that said "Ole Miss" in red lettering on the right breast, and a baseball cap.

He was accompanied by his son, Knox Kiffin, who was also wearing an Ole Miss hooded sweatshirt. 

Archie Manning, who played quarterback at Ole Miss from 1968-70, wore jeans and a black jacket on Friday.
