Oxford, MS – The upcoming Netflix documentary series focusing on the Southeastern Conference (SEC) has generated significant buzz within the college football world. However, Ole Miss and its head coach, Lane Kiffin, are among the prominent figures who have chosen not to participate in the production.
Netflix’s announcement of the series, set to premiere in the summer of 2025, promised “unfiltered access to coaches and players in college football’s most dominant conference.” The series aims to provide an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the intense rivalries and high-stakes matchups that define the SEC.
Despite the potential for increased national exposure, Ole Miss, along with Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Texas, have decided to decline the opportunity to be featured. While the exact reasons for their decisions remain undisclosed, it’s speculated that coaches may prefer to maintain control over their program’s narrative and avoid the potential distractions that come with extensive filming.

His tenure at Ole Miss has been marked by high-powered offenses and notable victories, contributing to the conference’s reputation for excitement. Therefore, the choice of him and Ole miss to not participate in the netflix documentary, has been a suprising one to many.
