When Lane Kiffin wasn’t railing on the current transfer portal system Tuesday during his press conference, the Ole Miss coach was explaining what annoys him about “The Bachelor” and spinoff “The Bachelorette.”

In the upcoming season of the “The Bachelorette,” two former Kiffin players will be among the 25 men fighting for the love of Jen Tranan. Former Ole Miss tight end and current staffer Jonathan Hess and former FAU receiver John Mitchell are among the contestants.

“It’ll be interesting,” the former Alabama offensive coordinator said. “I feel like it’s kind of like the basketball tournament, or now the playoffs in football. I feel like if you can make it and get some momentum going and get past the beginning to where people see a lot of (Hess), then I think he’s got a chance because of his personality.”

According to Rebel Grove, Kiffin’s daughter, Landry, a freshman at Ole Miss, has been home watching the show, which has led Kiffin back to the television.

“They talk about it, so I do see a little bit of it. I always kind of get annoyed by it because I feel like the competition makes people act different. … They want to have the next show. They don’t want to win, necessarily. They get a high score here and say, ‘I love you’ after one date.”
