Dave Portnoy Ruffles Feathers With Question to Lane Kiffin Over Daughter’s Decision to Date Whit Weeks

Dave Portnoy drew reactions from fans after posing a question about Ole Miss HC Lane Kiffin’s daughter is dating LSU linebacker Whit Weeks.

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin’s daughter made headlines earlier this week when she announced she’s dating LSU linebacker Whit Weeks, just ahead of the Rebels’ matchup with the Tigers this weekend. Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, weighed in on the entire situation with an explicit take that quickly drew reactions from fans.

Dave Portnoy Sparks Reaction With Question About Lane Kiffin’s Daughter

The internet exploded when Landry Kiffin, Lane’s daughter, “hard launched” her relationship with Weeks on Instagram just ahead of her dad’s matchup against the LSU linebacker and his team.

Fans quickly reacted to the timing, with many feeling it might get in Lane’s head before the game. However, Portnoy had a different take on “Big Noon Kickoff.” He argued that Kiffin’s daughter should be dating a football player rather than what he called a “TikTok guy.”

“Lane Kiffin would you rather have your daughter the star football player linebacker or a wiggle d**ker TikTok guy?” Portnoy said. “Give me the football player.”

Fans quickly took to X to react to Portnoy’s question, with many finding the whole interaction hilarious. One user even praised Portnoy, saying his question was just too funny.

Others thought Portnoy was right. One asked who would want to date someone involved in the drama of the TikTok world anyway, writing, “Who needs drama kings anyway.” Another fan was surprised by Portnoy’s language, noting that he cursed on FOX.

In the same vein, another fan wanted an explanation for Portnoy’s term, asking, “Can I get a definition of wiggle d**ker pls?” Another fan felt it wasn’t anyone’s business, including Portnoy’s, writing, “That’s not for us to judge”.

Regardless of how fans felt about Portnoy’s take, it’s clear that almost everyone is talking about Kiffin’s daughter’s relationship with Weeks, as it has completely taken over the internet.

Kiffin himself didn’t seem too concerned, staying active on social media this week and responding to the news in cryptic ways on X. That included telling fans to “take the over” in the game, which some saw as a subtle jab at his daughter’s new boyfriend, since Weeks plays on defense.

All eyes, including Portnoy’s, will be on Weeks and Kiffin as Ole Miss hosts LSU today, September 27, 2025. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET, and coverage will be on ABC.
