We asked Kiffin (again!) about Bentley. Mystery, for now, remains unsolved.

[@jpcampbell]

This is the most frustrating part of this season. I am convinced that if Bentley started all season, we are in the playoffs.

Raymond if you had a dollar and spent 50 cents how much would you have left? ABOUT A DOLLAR.

Thank you Ben . Much respect for asking the question no one else will and demanding some type of response. We will find out eventually , just like with Judkins , the truth always reveals its self

[@OMSpirit]

I met with him one-one-one afterwards. He insisted it was a football decision only. 🤷‍♂️ I’ll have more on it all tomorrow. Appreciate you, Chris!

Lol you’re exactly right Lane gives no answers! His favorite line is “it is what it is” so tell us Lane why won’t you give the fans a direct answer on Bentley!!

[@VinceMusic03]

Bentley is the only back on roster who could replace the one who left and shall not be named. Kiffins ego is OM biggest hurdle.

[@tampazeke4587]

Put MY ass in that media room and I'll ask some questions that EVERY fan wants answers to but no one in that room has the balls to ask. I would know that I wouldn't be invited back so I'd make my one opportunity there count!

[@dustyflair]

they too worried about what flavor ice cream, how the dog is, how his kid is, what boxers coach wears....everything BUT foortball.

[@therapygrind]

Remember, Lane also had a falling out with 6' 215 lb RB Kedrick Reescano who transferred to Arizona, 67 carries, 304 yrds, 4.5 yds/carry. Great job in being a Dad.

[@pjthornton220]

And we hate to say it but Trigg also is a weapon down the seam of the defense with Baylor

[@therapygrind]

@@pjthornton220 ...and the irony of Luke Altmyer guiding a far less talented squad to also be 8-3 and in their respective conference play, Luke actually has more TDs and less INTs than Dart. Who had that on their bingo card?

@@therapygrind Let’s not get carried away. While I like Luke, he is not playing in the SEC. There’s a huge difference.

Yea the Bentley thing was bizarre! I thought after the LSU game he would have been starting. And yea Juice was a bust, if the ball didn’t land right in his hands he didn’t even try.

[@parallaxninja456]

and the UGA game... like dude got a TD and gave us good momentum. Then coaches look at that and say "yeah, he's benched for the rest of the season." like wtf??

[@daddad4589]

Ask him why he was screaming at the RB coach after Bentley went on a long TD run. And lastly, ask Bentley. You need to ask because this bonehead move is one of the factors imo for some of Ole Miss losses. They only lost by 3 against Kentucky and LSU. bentley could have been a real factor in any of those. Then choosing to run a WR instead of Bentley? Or Domonique? WTF

[@tampazeke4587]

Evidently we aren't paying our coaches enough to make these obvious calls and I guess we aren't even paying them enough to expect to get some answers.

[@daddad4589]

@@tampazeke4587 I don't know whats going on but Ole Miss is on a sliver of a bubble but the CFP is not going to let in this team at #12 on intangibles of having a bonehead coach who plays WR at runningback and benching the top-rated SEC RB.

Fire lane kiffin. I’m done with the injury faking, poor decisions, under utilization of talent and not living up to expectations. I honestly don’t think the boosters should give lane another dollar to build a team we can’t even trust him make the playoffs with. Tired of the disappointment of being a fan of a team that will NEVER break through the glass ceiling. Been this way my whole life and I don’t see it ending anytime soon

[@roberthuxen3461]

Winning creates a need to win all the time. Ole Miss is now a top tier team in the SEC, but many fans and all the critics are ready to throw LF under the bus. Have you forgotten what it’s life to be 4-8 or 5-7?

[@thomassumrall6765]

Thank you Ben, great work. Aside from the non-sense, mysterious, sudden replacement of the RB room with WR5, that OL can't move anyone, especially in red zone. That's been a long time problem with no improvement. Hopefully a real OC and OL coach for Christmas? 🎄

[@clifftonharris888]

Ask him about Thomas he average 6.5 yards per carry plus good pass pro. He must don’t like running backs. Bentley was playing kick off return is crazy

[@lesliemosley4748]

Lane always crying about the fans not showing up or staying for a hole game !! He’s got a great running back that he refuses to play that I know would have made a difference in these games he lost!! So Lane you don’t give a 💩about your fans you would rather lose a game rather play a player that will give a boost to our running game !! Lane did this to us fans sorry for this I had to vent !!!

[@reb9090-w3o]

You just don’t see these shenanigans out of the defense and the way personnel decisions are made are night and day compared to the offense. Pooh Paul comes to mind - he played his way into a substantial role and a finalist for the Butkus award but he was given the opportunity to prove himself. I’m not sure why but the offense has its “guys” and that’s it. Not kicking Juice while he is down - but he has had trouble integrating into the offense and there hasn’t been any real effort there to get more production at that position but at RB how did we land on the decision that what we brought in wasn’t going cut it.

[@donalddeare4204]

How come everyone is scared to ask him tough questions. He works for us. If he gets offended so be it hit the door. Tired of he thinks he is above everyone and we so stupid. And before anyone gets started I've been going to games since 1962. Sick of him and all this drama.

[@donalddeare4204]

[@austinwilson6902]

I love how when you asked about his grade and how he wasn’t playing he brought up his yards per carry, Bentley is averaging 4.3 yard per carry this season with only 50 carries. I’d say that’s a pretty good average

[@bryanwesley5410]

Well, I think you pissed him off with the follow up questions. 😂😂 Bentley will tell everything once he leaves and has no resticting ties.

[@sonnyboy8957]

Do you think the chancellor or Keith Carter asked why? He ain’t worth the money!!!!!!

[@Diesel4242]

Started off the season with Bentley on the bench. I think that the ego is too big to turn him loose because of fear of him making the ego look like a fool

[@HYDRSportsPickz-q7k]

Thank you for trying ben i could tell u pissed him off by asking repeatly. But we desserve to know we paid for him to come back. And u wont play him. He ask why he wanted more in the nil to compete with the georgias and alabamas. But gets beat by kentucky flordia and lsu!! I guess next year hes gonna request 100 mil for nil so he can compete with the kentuckys flordias and lsu!

[@1969TxCowboy1]

There's definitely something going on with Bentley that we don't know about and it doesn't seem like Kiffin is going to tell any of us. There has to be more to it. Hopefully we'll find out one day.

[@bigc.a.s.e]

Its personal...thats why it will never be answered. Obvious at this point

[@BassHuey]

Is Kiffin trying to ruin Bentley's career? Cause the scouts still see his skills in the handful of runs for TDs in the LSU and Georgia games. I say get rid of Kiffin and give the HC job to Pete. This guy is an NIL and OC master, but an immature child and makes piss poor coaching decisions.

[@WilliamMelvin-e6q]

💯

[@wilksdolly2784]

Arguably best HC in ole miss history. Sure we failed to meet expectations this year, but moving golding immediately to HC is not the solution

Look from a LSU fan I really think parish and Bentley are on equal playing levels and I am not so sure Logan Diggs is not about same caliber but with those 2 out no doubt Bentley should have been starting but I think it’s something we don’t know and maybe maybe a little trust issue plus Lane likes to think crazy ideas will work but this is bad real bad for ole miss

[@pjthornton220]

They are equal at most things but bent just has that extra gear and why weren’t lane and Kevin smith rotating the backs like they did with snoop ealy and Parrish . That’s when the offense was most dangerous

The play calling is shit. Almost every time i've seen bentley put in, they just run up the middle against a defense that stuffs him everytime and read the play. Then kiffin says "when you look at the stats he's not the highest graded RB" like yeah, you have shit play calling then blame him??? wtf? He's been disrespected and treated like shit it's insane. They should be grateful he stuck around and is dedicated to the team yet the coaches blame him? they never take responsibility then blame players over and over again. Bad look for our team and recruits nonetheless.
